$1 million-plus home sales fell 14.5% in ’09

DataQuick reported recently that 2,448 Orange County homes sold last year at prices of $1 million or more.
That’s down 14.5% from 2008, when 2,862 O.C. homes sold for at least seven figures.
Those figures compare to more than 5,200 million-plus home sales in O.C. in 2007, and more than 7,300 in 2005.
DataQuick attributed the decrease in million-plus sales to “buyer reticence, a difficult mortgage market and several years of price drops that tugged the value of many homes below the million-dollar threshold.”

change |
| LOS ANGELES | 6,046 | 5,239 | -13.3% |
| ORANGE | 2,862 | 2,448 | -14.5% |
| SAN DIEGO | 2,216 | 1,578 | -28.8% |
| RIVERSIDE | 665 | 342 | -48.6% |
| SAN BERDOO | 188 | 123 | -34.6% |
| VENTURA | 595 | 405 | -31.9% |
| IMPERIAL | 1 | 1 | 0.0% |
| SOCAL | 12,573 | 10,136 | -19.4% |
| CALIF. | 24,436 | 18,621 | -23.8% |
Among the highlights from DataQuick’s report:
-
DataQuick shows an even greater percentage decline than reflected in an earlier report based on figures from the Multiple Listing Service, which showed that million-plus sales had decreased 11%. Unlike the MLS, DataQuick figures reflect all home sales, including newly built homes and those sold outside the MLS.
-
While 2009 million-plus home sales fell 14.5%, overall sales in the county jumped 17.1%.
-
One out of every 13 homes sold last year went for $1 million or more, compared to one in nine in 2008, one in 5 in 2007 and one in 7 in 2005.
-
Statewide, million-plus home sales fell 23.8% in 2009 to one out of 25 homes sold. In Southern California, million-plus sales fell 19.4%
-
The biggest drop in the region was in Riverside County, where million-plus sales dropped 48.6%, followed by San Benardino County with a 34.6% drop.
-
In Los Angeles County, homes priced at $1 million or more dropped 13.3%, the smallest decline in the region.
About 1,900 of the homes that sold statewide last year for less than $1 million had previously sold for $1 million or more, DataQuick said. The median price for those homes declined by about $420,000, or 35%.

Sales of new one-family houses in July 2009 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 433,000, according to estimates released jointly today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is 9.6 percent (±13.4%)* above the revised June rate of 395,000, but is 13.4 percent (±12.9%) below the July 2008 estimate of 500,000.
The median sales price of new houses sold in July 2009 was $210,100; the average sales price was $269,200. The seasonally adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of July was 271,000. This represents a supply of 7.5 months at the current sales rate.
