Southern California real estate appreciation slows

For the first time since June 2003, Southern California home prices have appreciated less than 20%, falling to 18.6% according to DataQuick Information Systems.

Overall, home sales were up and the average home price in the area for March was $439,000.

More important, the supply of available homes is dwindling in Los Angeles and Orange County, where supply has dropped to half of what it was just 6 months ago. Combined with low rates, the lack of supply of properties for sale should keep the market strong for the near future.
