California’s housing market has experienced a remarkable surge, with home prices increasing by 45% over the past five years. As of mid-2025, the statewide median home price has reached $650,000, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 7.7%. CalCoast Times

This significant appreciation is driven by a combination of factors, including limited housing supply, strong demand, and rising construction costs. Inventory levels remain tight, with only about 3.5 months of available homes, contributing to a competitive market environment. CalCoast Times

While this price growth indicates a robust market, it also raises concerns about affordability, with many residents spending over 30% of their income on housing. Efforts to address these challenges include policy initiatives aimed at increasing housing supply and improving affordability. Roomvu
