Alejandro Lazo from the LA Times brings us this newsworthy article attributing the rise in February to more homes sold in higher-priced areas and fewer sales of lower-end homes and bank-owned properties.
And while foreclosures represented 43.8% in January, according to DataQuick, this was down from an all-time high of 58.8% in Feb 2009.
While sales overall fell 3.8% from the same period a year ago, DataQuick says it is because people are still finding it difficult to secure financing, and uncertain of job security. They also indicated that some people are finding it difficult to compete for homes as the inventory shrinks.
