Honestly, there were no major surprises.  When comparing Duarte’s real estate performance to Pasadena, San Marino and South Pasadena, the trends are very similar:

The home sale volume dropped significantly over the last couple of years:

An almost 50% decline in the volume of Duarte home sales from 2006 to 2008.

The most significant Duarte home price increases took place between 2003 and 2005.

The MAJOR difference between Duarte and its neighboring cities to the West is that the down-trending in home sales prices is more significant and home prices are still on the decline. 

Duarte home prices moved down 16% in 2008 from 2007 and almost 20% over the last two years.
