Sales of homes in California were down more than 30 percent in September compared to a year prior, resuming a declining trend that began earlier this year amid soaring interest rates and inflation.
Owing to a rise in rates, last month’s median home price was $821,680, which was down 2.1 percent from August, but up 1.6 percent from September 2021, according to the California Association of Realtors (CAR).
