According to DataQuick, Bay Area home sales picked up in September from the same month a year prior but prices were down.

Sales were up 6.6% from the same month a year ago. As is typical, sales fell from August to September, down 10.2%, to total 6,749 homes sold last month. The median price for the region fell 7.6% from the same month a year prior and was down 1.4% from August, hitting $365,000.The median is the point at which half the homes in the region sold for more and half for less.

Foreclosures and other so-called distressed properties remain a big part of the market. Foreclosures accounted for 25.6% of the resale market last month, down from a revised 25.7% in August and 27.5% in September 2010. Short sales -– when the home is sold for less than the outstanding debt on the property -– made up 20.1% of the Bay Area market last month. That was up from 18.2% of August and 15.4% in September 2010.

Napa County’s faired a little worse than the Bay Area average for sales volumn: Sept 2010 was 118, Sept 2011 was 124, an 5.1% increase; and a little better than the average for median price Sept 2010 was $337,000
