The number of homes sold last month was up and so was the median selling price of those homes. But overall, while sales are up significantly from a year ago, prices are down.

The Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors has released its October report. Single-family home sales were up 5.3 percent. There were 3,535 homes sold in October and 3,358 were sold in September. Sales are up 30-percent from on year ago when much of the market was at a standstill.

According to the report, the median price of homes inched up slightly in October to $139,000 from $138,000 in September. However, the median price of homes is down 26.8 from one year ago. The median price then was $190,000.
