Oops...how can this be, if California is dying?
California home sales jumped higher in February with a 9.1% gain compared with last year, partly because of an increase in sales for mid- to high-range houses, according to real estate data released Wednesday.
A total of 15,373 new and existing homes and condominiums were sold last month in Southern California, up from 14,096 in February 2015. That amounted to a 5.1% increase over January's sales, according to data firm CoreLogic.
The Inland Empire saw some of the biggest increases. Riverside County home sales were up 12.5% compared with last year, and San Bernardino County jumped 10.8%. San Diego County saw the lowest increase, with a 2.1% jump compared with February 2015.
In Los Angeles County, 5,186 homes were sold in February, a 10.4% increase compared to last year.
