This issue with mean and median home prices, and small-ish sample sizes (especially in the case of Del Mar and Solana Beach in August) is why I was asking about price change on a per square foot basis. That figure would still be subject to skewing (ie, a 3,000 sq ft waterfront place would sell for a lot more than a similar place 6 blocks from the beach), but probably gets us closer to actual price action.
