Real estate market continued its cooling trend in August.


The once-sizzling Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.  County housing market continued cooling down Cooling down is the term used to describe an easy, full-body exercise that will allow the body to slowly transition from an exercise mode to a non-exercise mode. Depending on the intensity of the exercise, cooling down can involve a slow jog or walk, or with lower intensities,  in August, posting significant declines in the number of house and condo sales.

In all, 8,246 existing homes changed hands in the county in August, which was a steep 32 percent drop from the same month last year.

However, the median price continued climbing. The $550,000 median price of existing homes that sold in August was up 5.8 percent from one year earlier. It was the same price as the previous month of July July: see month. .

 have been sliding but median prices climbing.

August is the first month the Business Journal has listed condo sales in the county.

The number of condo sales fell 30 percent to 1,933--the lowest number for August in at least three years. At the same time, the median condo price rose almost 4 percent to $415,000--the highest median price for August in at least three years, according to according to

However, the median condo price has fallen the last two months after peaking in June June: see month.  at $422,000.

Several real estate professionals said that this data, coupled with the similar drop in volume but increase in median price for homes, indicates that the county's real estate market continues to soften.

Condo Glut

Excluding January January: see month. , which saw a sales volume increase for condos, the year had seen decreases in unit sales between 5 and 23 percent. But in July and August, condo sales dropped in the 30 percent range.

Now, experts see some condo gluts in spots.

In downtown Long Beach's 90802 ZIP code, August sales were down 43 percent to 48 condos sold, with the median price up almost 7 percent to $347,000.

"Downtown Los Angeles and downtown Long Beach are facing similar challenges," Kleinhenz said.

The California Association of Realtors estimates that as of July, condos in Los Angeles County were staying on the market a median 38.1 days, compared to 19.1 days a year ago. That translates into a build up of county inventory levels. Kleinhenz said a higher condo inventory translates into "prices leveling off or going down a bit."
