WHAT WERE THE ACTUAL NUMBERS?

The entire Southland hit a sales high in May, the highest in 7 years.  The median price hit a 5 year high.  According to records kept by DataQuick, there was a total of 23,034 new and resale houses and condos sold in LA, Ventura, OC, SD, Riverside and San Bernardino.  That was up 7.6% from the previous month of April, and 3.8% up from  May 2012.  However, there is still room for growth, as May 2013's numbers are still off 10% historically of what May usually produces since DataQuick started keeping records in 1988.  The total number of sales for all properties in OC was 3,648, up 11% from May 2012 and the median price was $540,000 up 24% from a year ago.  The number of resale homes was 2,347, condos came in at 1,013 and new homes still lagged, from lack of product, at 288.  Million dollar homes are making a big comeback, recording the highest number of sales since 2007.  For all of last year, 2012, there were 26,993 homes sold at $1,000,000 or higher.  That is up 27% from 2011.
