Setting Sun from Sharp Park, Pacifica, CA

While the setting sun painted the Pacific sky into a lovely picture last week the housing prices in the Bay Area were not as rosy. Median home prices squeaked out a small gain in October but sales volume remains low. The Bay Area median rose to $539,750 from $530,000 in September but it is still below the July 2013 peak of $562,000. Sales volume dropped nearly 4% from the same time last year. See the SF Bay Area Housing Trends page above for the details.
