A real estate analyst says the California housing market "is definitely showing signs of cooling down, but it's still healthy." The statewide rate of housing price growth narrowed last month to the lowest level in two years. That's according to the real estate information service DataQuick. The median price of a California home jumped 14.9% to 454,000--the lowest annual rate of home appreciation since June 2003 when it was more than 23 percent. October's median price was down point-two percent from 455-thousand dollars in September. Home sales dipped slightly in last month. A total of 53-thousand-700 new and resale houses and condos were sold statewide, down one-point-one percent from October 2004 and nine-point-nine percent from September. Click here to read more.
