South Pasadena CA|Single Family Homes For Sale and Market Update

 

South Pasadena 91030 Real Estate For Sale - South Pas Homes For SaleThis is a recap of South Pasadena single family homes for sale along with market activity for the first eight months of 2014.  All statistical information is from our local multiple listing service(mls) as of September 5, 2014.  

 

South Pasadena is a separate city in the San Gabriel Valley within Los Angeles County and celebrated its 125th anniversary as a city in 2013. With its many tree-lined streets and character homes, it has been called Anywhere USA.  That nickname is certainly in evidence as film trucks can be seen nearly every week as South Pasadena fills in for cities in movies, television and commercials.

 

South Pasadena Homes For SaleThe small town atmosphere of South Pasadena(also known as South Pas) is shown through its civic pride with highly acclaimed schools(top ten in the entire state), well-regarded public library and popular parks and recreation programs for all ages. There is interesting shopping/dining and many community events including its weekly Farmers Market held near the South Pasadena Gold Line light rail station. You will find homes which embrace Craftsman, Spanish, Mediterranean, English architecture along with ranch and very modern designs too.

 

South Pasadena Zip Code 91030 Real EstateThere are currently 25 South Pasadena homes for sale ranging from $550,000 to $3,688,000 with another 21 in escrow.   During August, 2014 there were eight mls-reported closed transactions from $720,000 to $1,585,000 with an average sales price of $1,108,486(median sales price $1,067,500).   In the August, 2013 the average sales price was $1,112,147(median $880,000) for the 17 South Pas home sales.   

 

South Pasadena Real EstateFor the first eight months of 2014, there have 81 mls-reported sales.  The transactions ranged in sales prices from $496,854 to $3,745,000 with an average price of $1,161,533(median $1,075,000).   They sold at an average 104.21% of last list price and for an average price per square foot of $631.00.

 

In the same January through August time period in 2013, there were 96 mls-reported transactions. The sales ranged from $300,000 to $2,700,000 with an average sales price of $1,094,264(median $957,500).   They sold at an average 102.02% of list price.   

 

Inventory of South Pas homes for sale has increased recently -- last year at the same time there were 14 homes on the market for sale versus today’s 25 but of those now on the market about ⅓ have come on the market within the last ten days. As an example of the current market, I recently submitted an offer for clients of a fixer with approximately 1200 square feet with a list price of $799,000 -- there were more than 20 offers and no buyer was countered unless their original offer was $900,000.

Michael,

What an informative blog about my old stomping grounds!( I lived on Grand Ave. for many years and loved South Pas dearly.)

So interesting to read about your counter offer situation on the fixer property. You could buy a very nice oceanfront here in Newport for the price of a So. Pas fixer. You have inspired me to do a Newport market report! Thanks Michael!!! :)

Barbara -- Grand is a great street -- nice and wide and of course, very close to Trader Joe's and all of  Mission Street shops and restaurants plus the Farmers Market every Thursday afternoon/early evening.  

Looking forward to reading your Newport Oregon market updates.

Michael South Pasadena homes average values of $300,000+ is wonderful, here in Austin average is $250,000+. I'm thinking the reason the inventory has picked up on home sales in South Pasadena is because owners are moving to Texas. It scares me how fast our little cities are growing in Austin, good for business but it's losing it's charm in my opinion. Have a beautiful weekend.

Bob - I'm not sure about the migration of South Pasadena residents to Austin but there's no doubt your area is growing substantially and with that expansion comes growing pains.

Barbara - location location location plus that timing element always come in to play.   

Roger - South Pasadena has some condo opportunities as well too!

Gita - thanks very much.  I appreciate your kind words.

Hi Michael - A very useful and informative market report for South Pasadena homes - it's interesting that, even with some inventory increase, there appears to still be a huge gap between supply and demand. Buyers and sellers alike would be well served by your market expertise to navigate those tricky conditions.

Michael - Another excellent real estate market report for the South Pasadena, CA area.  I can see why Hollywood loves to film in this community.  Not only is it beautiful, with tree-line streets, but it also has a wonderful selection of home styles!  I hope buyers call you for more information!

Gabe - and thanks for stopping by today.

Noah - I appreciate the kind words.

Hi Dick - you're right there is a tremendous shortage in some key pricing categories of South Pasadena homes for sale.

Belinda - a real shortage of  homes in the $1,000,000 and lower category.

Alexandra and Ron - a great place to visit and a terrific place to live.

Laura - while many people in the area think of South Pas as a place to find lots of Craftsman/Arts & Crafts era homes(and there are) it's good to know there are other styles here as well.

Ron - thanks very much.

Nick -- this is true in many cities and communities in my market area.  Since this is an average, buyers can still find homes that are selling for less than the list price so sellers need to be remain mindful of appropriate list prices.
