San Diego County home prices have fallen less than than all but two other metropolitan areas over the past year, according to the closely watched Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Home Price Index for October that was released Tuesday.
That’s an improvement from fifth or sixth place in the last few months.
San Diego prices were down 2.4 percent from a year earlier, with only Denver and Dallas down less, 0.1 percent and 0.6 percent respectively. San Diego home prices rose 0.4 percent from September to October, behind Phoenix’s 1.3 percent and San Francisco’s 1.2 percent boost.
