Of the 20 hottest U.S. real estate markets identified in a new survey by the National Association of Realtors, more than half were in California. The following California cities made the list:
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Vallejo
Santa Rosa
San Jose
San Diego
Sacremento
Santa Cruz
Oxnard
Stockton
Yuba City
These markets receive 1.8 to 3 times the number of views per listing compared to the national average. Perhaps even more important, these cities are also seeing inventory move 29 to 48 days more quickly than the rest of the U.S.
