 All information provided by MLS/CLAW is deemed accurate but is not guaranteed.

The percentage difference reflected is compared to the last quarter of 2012, and it is clear that Santa Monica home sales were down in the first quarter of 2013 in comparison.

Overall, the median price was up, except in a few cases, but that is a result of the lower priced properties selling off.

There is a tremendous shortage of inventory which is creating a unhealthy housing market in Santa Monica, as in most Los Angeles areas.
