    By Jodi SummersApril 1, 2012 - 3:58pm

    In February, home sales in Southern California jumped to 15,573 residential homes and condos. Over the year to February, total home sales were up by 8.4%, while the median price fell by 3.7% to $264,750. The national median existing-home price for all housing types — including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops is $156,600 — up 0.3% from a year ago. In Santa Monica, when contrasting Mar-10 vs. Mar-12, the median sold price is up 7% from $755,000 to $810,000.This picture echoes the sentiments of NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun acknowledged that the market “is trending up unevenly.”
