When it comes the California housing market, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, most people are in agreement that homes are overvalued just about everywhere. According to a new home-price metric created by the Real Estate Research Council of Southern California, we now have some expert opinions to back that up.

Per Jonathan Lansner at the OC Register, the council has professional appraisers reevaluate the same properties every six months in order to figure out how values and prices might change over time. And while the market will always dictate the price of a house, it’s worth recognizing what these people perceive as its value. 

Lansner took all of the appraisal values from the past five years and compared them to CoreLogic’s median prices over the same span. What he found was that, in five of the six Southern Cal counties included, appraisers showed much smaller gains when it came to home values compared to the market.

The difference was most shocking in San Bernardino County, where appraisers said values have gone up 59 percent in five years. Meanwhile, median prices have risen a whopping 91 percent. Recent homebuyers there best hope the bubble never bursts because they might be in trouble if they decide to sell.

In Los Angeles County, appraisers notched home values up 58 percent while median prices have risen 72 percent. In Orange County, appraisers have boosted valued by 44 percent while median prices have gone up 55 percent. The trend continues in Ventura County where appraisers said values rose 45 percent over that time while prices actually went up 53 percent.

San Diego County was the most even of the six when it came to appraised values meeting market prices. Appraisers said home values rose 50 percent while median prices went up 56 percent during the same time.

The only SoCal county where prices actually failed to meet appraised value was Riverside County. Over five years, appraisers boosted home values 73 percent while median prices trailed at 71 percent.
