Here are the summary statistics from the MLS for Oceanside for the month of December 2006.

Most notable was the drop in inventory from the previous month - 18% fewer homes were on the market in December than in November (this was likely due, in part, to the holidays). The prices in Oceanside are remaining pretty stable currently, although attached homes saw a decline from the prior year of 3%, while detached homes rose 1% from 1 year ago.

Oceanside offers a wide range of homes in a variety of price ranges. You can choose to live in a newer home in a gated community, a recently built home near or on the golf course, or select one of the pricier properties near the beach or even with ocean frontage. There are also a number of 55+ communities. The town remains the least expensive community, on average, along the coast, although San Marcos and Vista, both inland a bit, are similarly priced.
