If you own a home in western Escondido, you enjoyed a 37 percent increase in last year’s median home price, the most of any major neighborhood in the county, according to MDA DataQuick.
On the other hand, a homeowner in San Ysidro endured a 32 percent decline, the worst drop of any area.
Across the county, median prices in 40 ZIP codes were up, 41 were down and four were unchanged. In other words, it looks like half of the county saw a housing recovery in the past year.
