We know that in the United States of America, in respect of economy, California or Golden State, the state in the western United States on the Pacific, plays a major role. In respect of the year 2007 the Gross State Product (GSP) is about $1.812 trillion, the largest in the United States. There is no doubt that the achievement is appreciable. But even this state is facing the brunt of the ongoing economic recession (worldwide) and the overall market is down or descending. It is, perhaps, better to state that the market is dejected. The prices in the real estate sector, as a result, are plunging. However, it has been found, that sales are rising.
How can you define this? Is there any change in the horizon due to this? Well, nothing can be said confidently although an outbreak of home foreclosures, and foreclosure sales, are driving the rising sales numbers. What is the perception of professionals and financial gurus? According to them, this is an afflictive process. What’s more up to a time that all forms of marked-down homes are moved any chance of real estate rebound is a distant possibility.
The rate of home sales in Southern California, according to the fresh news, is up 27 percent. What is the condition of the median prices? Well, it is still downward and is even below the $300,000 mark. Do you know the reality? This is the first time, from 2003, when the median sale price has reached this level. It is known that affordability appears to be making a modest comeback with the fall of prices. Will there be any such? It is still in the level of speculation, according to the financial experts.
But the other states, for instance, Massachusetts are down and only in the month of November both homes sales and prices dropped steeply in the state. These bring one to the conclusion that different forces are operating in the market. What will be the fate therefore? It’s better to retain silence and keep the trends under close observation.
