This was the 9th consecutive month of gains. As the chart below shows, year-over-year data for the 10-City and 20-City Composite Home Price Indices, fell 6.4% and 7.3%.

Peak-to-date figures for the indices through October 2009 are -29.8% and -29.0%; Peak to trough (April 2009) composites are down 33.5% and 32.6%, respectively.
