Southern California Real Estate

The San Dimas real estate market behaved like much of California real estate in that the median price of a resale home just about doubled during the 14 year period from 1990 to 2004.  Today, San Dimas is a modern Los Angles suburb that holds to its Western roots.  Along with residential homes and area malls, San Dimas offers a rodeo, horse trails and plenty of open space.

In the early days of the 1800s, San Dimas was an agricultural and cattle area but in the 1950s and 1960s, the orange groves were torn out and the San Dimas real estate market began its boom.  Most of San Dimas is more mild than wild, with horse properties concentrated in the north end of town. Houses include small turn-of-the-century bungalows and hilltop mansions. A 2,000-square-foot, 1980s-era home typically will sell for about $550,000.
