The cumulative worth of the metrowide housing market exceeds that of 40 states. Despite the impressive sum, the value of the regional market remains $55.6 billion, or 5.9 percent, lower than the value observed when the housing bubble peaked.
California is where the real housing wealth has been gained in the last six years. Since 2012, a third of the national market’s $10.9 trillion gain in housing values has come from California.
