San Diego County home prices continued their months-long climb in September but at a slower pace than during the summer, the closely watched Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed yesterday.
Mirroring trends elsewhere, San Diego’s index was up 0.9 percent from August, the slowest month-to-month rise since May. But on a year-over-year basis, the 5.7 percent decline was the smallest in more than two years.
