Home prices in California continue to rise, reaching a 15-month high in August, according to the California Association of Realtors.The trade association blames the soaring costs on the usual culprits: rising mortgage rates and the state's ongoing shortage of homes on the market.Among the biggest takeaways from August, single-family home sales totaled 254,740 — down 5.3% from July and down 19% from last August. Home prices also jumped 3.3% across the state from July, and were up 3% from last year.Year-to-date home sales in California were also down 29.2% in August.C.A.R.

Levine argues that, despite the alarming numbers, the market should start improving in the last quarter of the year."Mortgage rates should begin to ease, albeit gradually, in the next couple months, and provide a much-ne...
