PENDING SALES DROP AS BREA SHORT SALES BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT There was a negligible change in the number of homes for sale in Brea California on a month to month basis, but when compared to one year earlier, Brea real estate listings rose 38%. Although listings have increased in Brea, an inventory shortage still exists, especially in the entry level price range of $500,000 and below, which continues to dwindle. Due to the lack of inventory, it remains a seller's market in Brea, California. Pending home sales fell 27% between August and September 2013, and more than 60% year over year. These drastic, double digit drops are a direct result of the recent, low inventory of real estate listings in Brea.

BREA CA REAL ESTATE LISTINGS DECREASE IN AUGUST 2013 Unlike many surrounding north Orange County cities, Brea experienced a 9.1% drop in real estate listings on a month to month basis.

Pending home sales in Brea remained fairly neutral between July and August 2013, but posted a drop of 49.5% in the year to year figures.
