No change in median home price
Analyst sees shift in types of properties being sold

The median home price in San Diego County stayed at $325,000 last month, unchanged from August, MDA DataQuick reported yesterday.
It was the ninth month in a row that the median has either increased or stayed the same, as the real estate market continues to inch its way out of a collapse that cut the median price nearly in half.
But DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said the increase has been driven less by any improvement in individual property values than by a shift in the mix of properties that are selling.
