The median price of a Southern California home was $530,000 in July, down 1.3 percent from the record high of $537,000 in June and up 5.8 percent from $501,000 in July 2017.
"It's not unusual for a regional median sale price to fall back a bit from an all-time high, such as the $537,000 record median logged this June," said Andrew LePage, research analyst with CoreLogic. "Last month's median price was up 5.8 percent relative to last July, which was the lowest annual growth in 18 months and a further sign of the continuing erosion or affordability."
