Real estate data company DQNews (formerly CoreLogic/DataQuick) reported that May existing home sales in their six county Southern California region Jumped over 100% from the number of sales last May. That surge is mostly related to a near stoppage in sales last May at the start of the pandemic.

The median price jumped 24.7% in the six county region. That marked the largest year-over-year median price ever recorded.

The county by county numbers were as follows: Los Angeles County recorded a 25% increase in the median price. Orange County recorded a 19.3% increase in the median price. San Bernardino County recorded a 16.8% increase in the median price. Riverside County recorded a 22.5% increase in the median price. Ventura County recorded a 20.9% increase in the median price. San Diego County recorded a 22.9% increase in the median price.

The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales jumped 44.6% from the number of homes sold last May. Existing home sales include all single family, condominium, co-op, and townhomes.

The median price paid for a home in May was $350,300, up 23.6% from last May’s median price of $283,500. There are now 111 straight months of year-over-year increases in the median price.

The unsold inventory level is at a 2.5-month supply, down from a 4.6-month supply one year ago. Inventory was up slightly month-over-month from April when there was a 2.4 month supply. The supply of homes is simply the number of sales in the month divided by the number of homes for sale at the end of the month.

First time buyers accounted for 31% of all purchases. Second-home and investor purchases accounted for 17% of all homes sold. Foreclosures and short sales accounted for less than 1% of all homes sold. All cash purchases accounted for 23% of all transactions.

There’s so much to see in and around LA. From mountain hikes to scenic drives, your options for taking in the sites are endless. So if you happen to want to site see while getting in a good workout, then biking is the best route for you. That’s why in this week’s Out & About, we are sharing the best bike trails in LA so you can cruise easy.

Griffith Park Loops

If you happen to be familiar with Griffith Park’s hiking trail, like everyone in LA, then you may know they have bike trails too. If you didn’t know, now you know, so let’s break down why we love this bike path. With its mix of native chaparral and landscaping, the Griffith park loops make it easy to forget you live in the bustle of LA. If you want a flat ride, stick to the L.A. River Bike Path. For those wanting a challenge, the Crystal Springs Drive provides just enough elevation. Lastly, if you want a real challenge then gear up for the Mt. Hollywood Drive climb.

Shoreline Pedestrian Bike Path

What better way is there to take in the sea breeze than with a ride along its shore? Long Beach’s Shoreline Bike Path makes for an excellent ride if the name didn’t give it away. The town’s Shoreline Village cuts through the LB’s beachfront, taking you past the Long Beach Museum of Art and other local sites. The path comes to an end around Bay Shore Avenue and right up to the entrance of the scenic Naples canals.

L.A. River Bikeway

When living in LA, one might forget about the LA River and, likewise, the LA River Bikeway. Well, this is your reminder about LA River’s 51 miles of paved paths and subsequent bike trails. While they are not all connected and range in size, the ride is worth it. Following along the LA River, your journey can range from Canoga Park to the Port of L.A. What most riders opt for would be the Glendale Narrows/Elysian Valley Bicycle Path. A go-to for frequent bikers, the paths cut through the trendy area of Frogtown. This particular path runs from Victory Boulevard and Riverside Drive to Elysian Valley’s Egret Park.

Chandler Bikeway

What was once railroad tracks serves tracks of a different kind these days. The Chandler Bikeway in Burbank become a local bike path in 2004 and has been a go-to ever since. For bike trails in town, this path is slightly shorter than most but equally enjoyable. The Chandler Bikeway covers a couple of miles of Chandler Boulevard, stretching from Mariposa Street to the North Hollywood Metro stop. While the art along the way adds a spark for the eye, it’s the view of the path of the Verdugo Mountains that make it a standout.

Marvin Braude Bike Trail

Last but certainly not least is one of the most known bike trails in town. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail stretches 22-miles of a bicycle path along L.A.’s coastline. Beginning at Will Rogers State Beach, you’ll cruise along with bustling Santa Monica and trendy Venice. From there, you’ll swing through the swanky seascape of Manhattan Beach before ending at Torrance County Beach.

One of the great things about California is its varying weather. That’s why it is the perfect time of the year for nature hikes. In this week’s blog, we are sharing LA’s best waterfalls that are worth the trek. Read our Out & About and take some time to reconnect with nature!

1. Escondido Falls

Location: Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu

The Santa Monica Mountain valley has some of the best that nature has to offer in So-Cal. With that in mind, it’s no wonder Escondido Falls lands at the top of our best waterfalls list.

The first home (what’s left of it) is the Keller House built entirely of stone and belonged to the original canyon owners. Paul Williams built the second home along the trail for grocery store magnate Fred Roberts. The home itself was destroyed in the 1982 canyon fire, but what’s left still provides an exciting glimpse it what was once there. At Solstice Canyon Falls, you’ll find all of the elements of nature you could want on your journey to the park’s 30-foot falls.

There are a few obstacles along this trail, like inclines and stream crossings, so wear your best hiking boots. Once you’ve gotten through these short hurdles, you will be mystified by the 50-foot Sturtevant Falls, which delicately flows into an inviting circular.

5. Paradise Falls
