根据美国加利福尼亚地产经纪商协会（C.A.R.），持续的就业和收入增长给了购房者信心，他们在7月冲进加州房地产市场，导致当地房产销售创下近三年新高。数据显示，加州住宅销售量已经连续6个月同比上升。

美国加州房市报捷 7月住宅销售创3年新高

7月房屋销量创下2012年10月以来的最高水平，连续第四个月处于40万水平线上方。C.A.R.从90个当地房地产经纪人协会和全州MLSs收集来的信息显示，经季节性因素调整后折合成年率，7月加州独户住宅（single-family detached home）的已完成现房交易合计449,530户。全州MLSs销售数据代表着假设全年都保持7月的销售速度，加州在2015年全年可能出售的房屋数量。考虑到通常会影响房屋销售的季节性因素，该数据有所调整。

相比6月调整后的销量437,6807户，7月数据上修2.7％；相比2014年7月调整后的398,980户，今年7月数据上修12.7％。这是2009年以来最高的同比增长，显著高于上半年6%的平均增速。

“虽然7月加州房产销售上涨，但当地人住房购买力较低，加上部分地区就业市场强劲复苏——如旧金山和圣何塞（San Jose）——导致的供应紧张，加州房地产市场仍然受到抑制”，C.A.R.总裁Chris Kutzkey称：“周边地区，如纳帕（Napa）、索拉诺（Solano）和索诺玛（Sonoma），住宅销售强劲，主要是因为当地人有相对较高的住房购买力和接近就业中心的优势。但如果住房需求持续增长而供应又跟不上，那些地区的住房购买能力就会成为更大的问题。”

7月加州独户住宅现房的中位价为488,260美元，环比下滑0.3%，同比上升5.4%。6月的中位数为489,640美元；去年7月修正过的中位数为463,330美元。出售的房屋中，一半以较高价出售、另一半以较低价出售，同时，中位价还受到住房类型和整体房价变化的影响。

“房价增速自2013年下半年起放缓”，C.A.R.副总裁兼首席经济学家Leslie Appleton-Young表示，“近期加州房屋中位价下跌，反映出沿海和内陆地区之间持续出现差异。在过去3个月中，中央谷（Central Valley）房价经历了两位数的增长，而湾区（Bay Area）房价增速只有中央谷的一半。另外，价格较低的房屋销售在近期表现更好，销售组合中的这种变化使得房价中位数增长受到抑制。”

California July Home Sales at Highest Level in Three Years

Sustained job and income growth gave home buyers the confidence in July to jump into the California housing market, pushing home sales to their highest level in nearly three years, according to the California Association of REALTORS®.Home sales have risen year over year for six straight months.

Home sales remained above the 400,000 mark in July for the fourth consecutive month and rose to highest level since October 2012. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 449,530 units in July, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2015 if sales maintained the July pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales.

The July figure was up 2.7 percent from the revised 437,680 level in June and 12.7 percent compared with home sales in July 2014 of a revised 398,980. The year-to-year change was the highest since July 2009 and significantly higher than the 6-month average increase of 6 percent observed from January 2015-June 2015.

“While July home sales rose at the statewide level, the market is still constrained by low housing affordability and a tight supply in areas where job growth is robust, such as San Francisco and San Jose,” says C.A.R. President Chris Kutzkey. “Neighboring regions such as Napa, Solano, and Sonoma are experiencing strong sales due to their affordability and proximity to job centers. However, housing affordability could become a bigger issue in these areas if housing demand continues to grow but supply can’t keep pace.”

The median price of an existing, single-family detached California home dipped 0.3 percent in July to $488,260 from $489,640 in June. July’s median price was 5.4 percent higher than the revised $463,330 recorded in July 2014. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values.

“Home price appreciation has been moderating since the second half of 2013,” says C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. “The recent monthly dip in the statewide median price, however, reflects the ongoing differential in sales between the coastal and inland regions. The Central Valley has been experiencing sales growth in the double-digits over the last three months, while Bay Area home sales have grown half that rate during the same time frame. As a result, more lower-priced properties have sold in recent months, and this change in the mix of sales is keeping the increases in the statewide median price subdued.”
