The Lawhead Team would like to share the latest “One Cool Thing” about this month’s housing sentiment in California:

Each month California Association of Realtors surveys 1,000 California consumers regarding their sentiments about various aspects of the housing market or the economy that directly impact housing to create a California Housing Sentiment Index. The results of the individual indicators are combined into an equally-weighted diffusion index (where anything over 100 represents a net positive sentiment across the indicators, and anything below 100 represents a net negative sentiment).
