Separate Bay Area, Southern California and inland markets
LA County and OC are shown separately, as are San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay. Compare realistic living areas first, then consider Sacramento, Riverside or other markets. Metro or county observations do not establish prices for a particular city or school area.
For LA versus OC, consider prices, inventory changes and selling speed together. Rising inventory in a high-priced market may not make it a budget alternative; a lower-priced area still needs a commuting and building-condition check.
Start with LA County versus OC, then locate the target market on the map. For an actual home, inspect comparable neighborhood sales, size and age, and include repairs and ownership costs in the budget.

- Choose realistic locations using work, commuting and budget.
- Read same-week prices, inventory and days on market to identify differences to investigate.
- Check comparable sales, building condition and ownership costs for the actual home.
Asking and sale prices describe different sets of homes. Their difference is not a negotiating discount.
Using the data →Data and methodology
Weekly observations cover four-week periods. Charts use the last published week in each month and update the latest point weekly. States and counties use official monthly data. Metro statistics follow the actual statistical boundaries, rather than city limits.
