San Diego County’s median home price reached a record high of $923,080 in June, marking a return to typical summer buying patterns. While Southern California markets saw significant gains in home sales that month, the average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 6.53% at the end of May, according to Freddie Mac. However, the average rate had risen to 7.20% by Monday afternoon.
