Many factors influencing California’s real estate market are particularly Californian, traced back to the general scarcity of land in desirable locations. Undeveloped land costs are exceptionally high, especially within the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas.

Annual totals are framed by purchase figures which vary monthly, because demand in California shifts seasonally (with most homes moved in June with a minor increase at year’s end).
