Sign On San Diego - "Housing prices slip to three-year low, but pace picks up" (2-15-07)

"San Diego County housing prices slipped last month to their lowest levels since mid-2004, but sales were higher than the usual pace for a January, DataQuick Information Systems reported Wednesday."

"As in earlier years, however, the price decline was entirely attributable to new houses and condo conversions. The median prices of resale houses and condos remained unchanged from December, at $540,000 and $380,000 respectively, while the new-housing category went from $460,000 to $395,000."
