Time To Move Up? Sellers Seeing More Options As Prices Rise

More good news impacting the recovering Real Estate industry shows California's median home prices surging to the highest level in nearly five years.  A San Diego research firm said the median price paid for a home in California in April was $324,000 - the highest since June 2008. 

There were 21,415 homes and condos sold in Southern California last month, up 9.5 percent from a year ago, DataQuick said.
Southern California homes continue to sell at a robust rate with rising prices fueled by fewer homes for sale.  
With fewer foreclosures and distressed properties on the market, home values are on the up.  Demand for homes is outpacing the supply.  
Many Buyers who were reluctant to buy a home during the recession are feeling more confident with a stabilizing economy and Real Estate market.  Homeowners who participated in short sales 2-3 years ago are now able to purchase again.  As unemployment decreases, people are now feeling more ready to purchase a home, but are faced with fewer homes for sale.   
Sellers are gaining equity in their homes and are being presented with multiple offers on their homes.
