CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTOR'S FORECAST C.A.R.’s 2021 California Housing Market Forecast sees a modest increase in existing single-family home sales of 3.3 percent next year to reach 392,510 units, up from the projected 2020 sales figure of 380,060. The 2020 figure is 4.5 percent lower compared with the pace of 397,960 homes sold in 2019. The California median home price is forecast to edge up 1.3 percent to $648,760 in 2021, following a projected 8.1 percent increase ...to $640,330 in 2020 from $592,450 in 2019. An extremely favorable lending environment and a strong interest in homeownership will continue to motivate financially eligible buyers to enter the market, said C.A.R. President Jeanne Radsick, a second-generation REALTOR from Bakersfield, Calif. While the economy is expected to improve and interest rates will stay near historical lows, housing supply constraints will continue to be an issue next year and may put a cap on sales growth in 2021. C.A.R.’s forecast projects growth in the U.S. gross domestic product of 4.2 percent in 2021, after a projected loss of 5.0 percent in 2020. With California’s 2021 nonfarm job growth rate at 0.5 percent, up from a projected loss of 12.7 percent in 2020, the state’s unemployment rate will dip to 9.0 percent in 2021 from 2020’s projected rate of 10.8 percent.

Have you read California Proposition 15. It's the opening salvo to eliminate Proposition 13. It will increase the cost of doing business dramatically, with annual fights over the value of property, not to mention a dramatic initial increase. Vote NO on 15.
