Coachella Valley-specific numbers have yet to be compiled by DataQuick for October. The latest valley figures, reflecting September sales, showed:
A total of 865 homes were sold in the Coachella Valley in September, a 65.4 percent increase from September 2007.
That was the strongest year-over-year showing in nearly two decades.
The valleywide median hit $230,000 in September, down 37.8 percent from September 2007.

Housing sales in La Quinta jumped 42.6 percent in September
Housing sales in La Quinta jumped 42.6 percent in September from the year before, a strong year-over-year showing driven by ever-lowering prices and buyers nabbing entry-level foreclosures.
A total of 87 homes were sold in the 92253 ZIP code last month, which was up 6.1 percent from August sales figures, according to an analysis released this week from MDA DataQuick.
Experts say the rise in sales is directly related to lowering prices: In September, La Quinta's median price hit $285,500, down 31.9 percent from the year before.
DataQuick's monthly housing report also shows:
A total of 865 homes were sold valleywide, a 65.4 percent increase from September 2007.
That's the strongest year-over-year showing in nearly two decades.
La Quinta's median price remains higher than the valleywide price, which hit $230,000, in September. That's down 37.8 percent from September 2007.
The median price per square foot in the city was $163. That's above with the valleywide price per square foot, which hit $125 in September.
The most expensive home sold in the valley in September was a $2.49 million single-family home in La Quinta.
Despite a large jump in September sales valleywide, October inventory numbers are up slightly indicating the market is still dealing with “people with troubled loans,” said Greg Berkemer, executive vice president of California Desert Association of Realtors.
