Pasadena CA Real Estate

you’ve been reading this Pasadena real estate blog, you know that I keep talking about how we need to look at the local activity in the real estate market. National and California housing statistics are great, but if you’re looking to buy a Pasadena home or are a Pasadena home seller, you really need to understand what’s going with Pasadena’s housing market.

When I work with my home buyers and home sellers, we take this real estate data even further and narrow it down to the individual neighborhood. I recommend looking at real estate statistics within a 1/4 mile radius of the home that you are buying or selling.

For the purposes of this post, we’ll keep it a little more general, and look a how the city of Pasadena is weathering the housing market.

Looking at these Pasadena housing statistics side by side, it’s interesting to note the following:

• Median List price is 20% lower in 2008 vs. 2006
• There are properties for as low as $120,000 in 2008. The lowest priced home in January of 2006 was $459,000.
• Average price per square foot of Pasadena homes for sale dropped by 17.6%.
• The available Pasadena home inventory increased by almost 54%!
• It is taking twice as long to market a home now – almost 4.5 months.
• 44% of homes listed expire and have to be relisted by Pasadena realtors compared to only 17% in December of 2006. Main reason for re-listing Pasadena homes is incorrect and overly high pricing.
• Which leads to 2 out of 3 properties needing a price reduction – 40%.
