Movoto looked at California’s 10 largest cities (by population) to get a better idea of what caused the state’s turnaround from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market in the year from January 2012 to January 2013.

Here’s what Movoto found:

• The number of homes on market has stooped even lower.

Affordable properties are harder to locate.

Cash buyers are becoming even more common.

Short sales are replacing foreclosures as the new popular buys on the block.

Each of these components contribute to a volatile Golden State housing market.
