September was another good month for home sellers in the 13-county Minneapolis-St. Paul metro.

The average home in the metro area is now going for around $149,000. That's about 10 percent lower than a year ago. Foreclosures and short sales, economic fears and budget-minded buyers are keeping prices down despite stronger sales.

Finance & Commerce reports the median sales price in the 13-county metro area hit $149,000 in March. The 6.4 percent increase is the largest year-over-year gain since April 2010, but the current median price is still nearly 35 percent lower than the peak in March 2006.
