Southern California Home Sales Slowest Since 1997 

Southern California home sales remained at their slowest pace in nine years last month, as the market continued to rebalance itself after several years of heated activity. A total of 20,388 new and resale homes sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month. That was down 7.8 percent from 22,117 in October, and down 26.2 percent from 27,637 for November a year ago.
