If you are a Whittier Resident, interested in Whittier Real Estate or are thinking about relocating to the City of Whittier, this is the perfect blog for you. In order to make wise decisions, you have to know what is going on in the market and we will be giving you the latest news regarding Whittier Real Estate (other city updates also available upon request) on an ongoing basis.

Whittier is a wonderful city with a long history (please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier,_California#History or visit http://www.whittiermuseum.org/ for even more details), named after famed Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Whittier is located approximately 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and has a population of approximately 84,000 (based on the census of 2000, let’s see what the new census says, I’m sure we have grown considerably since then).

The Median Home Price for Whittier is currently at $315,000, based on figures from February of 2010 (Source: California Association of Realtors). The Median Home Price does is not an indicator of what Whittier Homes are worth in general, it merely shows that 50% of homes were sold for more than $315,000 and 50% at prices below $315,000 (the Median Home Price does not give you the average sales price).

As it is very hard to make a decision just based on the Median Home Price, we will be giving you the WHOLE PICTURE about Whittier Real Estate – how many properties are currently listed and in what price range, how many are in Escrow, how many homes were sold in Whittier last week, etc.
