PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE IN FULLERTON CA

However real estate listings dropped by an incredible 56.9% when comparing January 2013 to year ago levels, with the biggest reduction experienced in the category of distressed properties. At the end of January 2013, short sale and foreclosure listings had both fallen by nearly 87% compared to one year ago.

The Fullerton, California real estate market is very stable due to the extremely low inventory of properties for sale and an ongoing supply of home buyers. Fullerton home prices continue to rise at a steady pace, as multiple offers and bidding wars persist.
