3.    15,945 new and re-sale houses and condos sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties. This was 0.7% less than January 2013 but 1% up from February 2012.

4.    The median price for all new and re-sale houses and condos sold in the Southland area was $320,000; down from $321,000 in January 2013 and up from $264,750 in February 2012.
