Home prices continue to surge.
The S&P/Case Shiller composite index on Tuesday showed that home prices in 20 metropolitan areas across the country rose 1.1 percent in March.
Those median prices were 10.9 percent higher than March 2012, the largest one-year home price increase since April 2006.
As a service to our readers, we thought we'd check our communities and see if there are still some relatively inexpensive homes on the market.
In El Cerrito, we found this one. It's a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home at 922 Galvin Drive.
The home, built in 1925, is 744 square feet on a quarter acre. It's listed at $299,000.
