April 2020: 10 Million Californians Now Live in Counties With Median Home Price $1M+

[dimondpark]

This might be the final peaks of a quickly deflating housing market, but this is interesting nonetheless.

Contra Costa County pushed the total of people living in this median price point past the 10 million mark, and San Diego is now just $25,000 shy of $1 million.

Mono County is a tiny rural county up in the Sierras(?) I know very little about that area, but here is a link to homes currently for sale there:

There's been talk in the news about the high speed rail from the Cental Valley to San Jose getting funding, I wonder if that will affect home prices out in places like Fresno and the like.

Anyhow,

Mono County makes sense since it includes mammoth lakes, June lake etc and not that much housing inventory but I can't believe it's up to nearly 2.4 million median. That's outrageous growth over the last few years

San Mateo County is complete insanity.

for a fun little juxtaposition, the ZHVI for the Lake County in IL is $315,282, making it the 2nd most expensive county in Illinois (Dupage county is first).

so california's most affordable county would at the top of the heap in the midwest.

Not nearly as bad as it used to be and the superfund site is being worked on. Algae blooms however....it's a natural lake so those will happen, but the surge in wineries has made it worse.

Very affordable considering Californians get paid more. Got people up here commuting 2+ hours.
City slickers have vacation homes here as well, although the less desirable folks might rob it depending on location!
