The number hit $429,000 during September, up from $425,000 in 2008. It is also up slightly from August, which had a median price of $427,750.
O.C. saw a 4.2 percent year-over-year increase in its resale house median in September – this was also the first for any month since August 2007.
"Recent month-to-month and year-over-year gains in the median sale price stem largely from a substantial market shift in recent months: There have been fewer sales of foreclosed homes in lower-cost neighborhoods, and more sales in higher-cost areas," according to the report.
