Housing 2021 – Housing activity is expected to remain strong in 2021, but sector growth will likely decelerate from the torrid pace set in the second half of 2020.

Sales Stats – Existing, single-family home sales totaled 509,750 in December on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, up 0.2% from November and up 28% from December 2019. The statewide median home price was $717,930, up 2.7% from November and up 16.8% from December 2019. (C.A.R.)
