perrychase, you can find the table of data for the LA Times article on dataquick, under monthly data, LA Times. I was curious about latesummer08’s implication that there’s a big drop in high-end OC prices, but I didn’t find clear evidence of it yet. There’s a big drop in median prices for selected zip codes, but some other big and expensive zip codes are up (92660 in Newport Beach is up 12%). Also, a closer look at some of the zips with decreases in the median price show that the price per square foot, a more refined indicator, may not be down. For example, 92625 in Corona del Mar had a 24% decrease in median price, but the price per square foot in April 2007 was $1,206, up 7% from the $1,125 per sq ft price for the whole of 2006. (I don’t know what the price per square foot was in just April 2006. If anyone knows how I can get the April 2006 data, let me know.)
