Pasadena was on view today as approximately 700,000 people lined Colorado and South Orange Grove boulevards to see the 125th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade.
Approximately 90,000 filled Pasadena’s iconic stadium later this afternoon for the 100th Annual Rose Bowl Game where Stanford representing the Pac-12 met Michigan State of the Big Ten Conference. Millions more watched the events on television.
But Pasadena is much more than a parade and a football game.

Happy Holidays
Wishing you and yours the best in 2014

There’s always a lot of discussion about the advantages(or disadvantages) of selling your home during the holidays. The pros and the cons have been weighed for years. We hear there are fewer buyers but those who are “out there” are truly focused on buying.
Relocations don’t necessarily stop during the holidays nor do other life changing events. Less competition of homes on the market for sale can mean your home can stand out in a less crowded field.
I sometimes wonder if sellers(and buyers) may be given … (9 comments)
