California home sales are projected to increase in 2027, supported by modest price growth and stable affordability. The California Association of Realtors forecast anticipates a 3.7 percent rise in existing single-family home sales.
The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) has released its 2027 forecast for the state's housing market, predicting a 3.7 percent increase in sales of existing single-family homes. The forecast projects that 277,900 units will be sold in 2027, up from an estimated 268,100 units in 2026.
The market is expected to benefit from moderate price appreciation and stable affordability levels. These factors are anticipated to drive the rise in sales volume, even without significant increases in median home prices. C.A.R. noted that interest rates are expected to remain steady, which will continue to support buyer demand.
The forecast considers the broader economic conditions in California, including the performance of the job market, which directly influences housing activity. While no significant price bubble is anticipated, the market is expected to maintain a healthy growth trajectory.
C.A.R. emphasized that market stability is crucial for the ongoing economic health of California. The 2027 outlook signals positive trends while acknowledging potential challenges such as housing inventory levels in specific regions.
