South Pasadena CA Homes For Sale and 1st Quarter 2015

Market Update

 

South Pasadena Homes For SaleThis is a summary of South Pasadena homes for sale along with those in escrow and sales for the first quarter of 2015. Statistical information has been gathered from our local multiple listing service(mls) and may not include all transactions in the market.

 

South Pasadena is a separate city within the West San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County and is known for its small town atmosphere with tree-lined streets of character homes. So Pas as it is known by locals is proud of its excellent school district(currently ranked in the top ten by the state of California), well-regarded parks and recreation programs along with unique shopping and dining make it a popular destination for many. You will find a weekly Farmer’s Market, special holiday parades and art walks among other activities.  

 

So Pas Real Estate

 

There are currently 16 homes for sale ranging from $695,000 to $3,799,000 with another 19 in escrow.  There have been 22 mls-reported closed transactions in the first three months of 2015.

 

 

Those sales ranged from $400,000 to $3,000,000 with an average sales price of $1,132,095 (median sales price of $948,000). They sold at 101.82% of last list price and for $555.26 per square foot on average.

 

During the same January through March time period in 2014, there were 30 mls-reported sales.  Those transactions ranged from $496,854 to $1,960,000 with an South Pasadena Homes For Saleaverage sales price of $978,665 (median $912,500).  They sold at 103.05% of last list price and for $602.66 per square foot on average.

 

The lack of inventory of South Pasadena homes available for sale continues to make this real estate market quite challenging.   When I completed this same report last year, the number of homes available for sale was 17 - just one more than this year. It is important to look at the story behind the numbers since the quantity is rather low.   Whether you are a prospective buyer or a homeowner thinking of selling, let’s discuss what is important to you and talk about a strategy that can help you win.  I can be reached at 818.516.4393 direct | cell.

Good morning Michael,

I love the photos you include in your report..they really give the flavor of the market you are referencing! Your inventory is dangerously low so buyers or sellers thinking about selling you better give Michael a call to discuss your strategy in making the right decision in your market!

Hi Michael, sixteen available homes in South Pasadena will make some buyers very..very happy. I suspect they won't be on the market for long, buyers must give you a call and not miss this rare opportunity.

I'll take that perfect bungalow featured in your first photo, Michael. Love the rock porch columns. So smart to discuss the wants and needs and then come up with a strategy to ensure the purchase of one of these "too few" homes in South Pasadena. I know you're the guy to get it done.

Thanks very much for stopping by and your comments on this latest update for South Pasadena real estate and single family homes in particular.   

It is a vibrant community - well located and lots of character homes on tree-lined streets that lend themselves to lots of filming.  On my way home this evening, there was a street lined with trucks readying for the "next scene".

Those are some nice price points, Michael. Most of ours in the southern Nevada market are in the $200.000-400,000 range.

Hi Debbie Reynolds - a convenient location, well-regarded schools and intereting homes make South Pas a popular destination and you're right turnover here is low. 

John Novak - that's one of the many features of ActiveRain I like.  It give me a look at different markets from around the country from the perspective of a knowledgeable real estate professional.   When people talk about different areas, information I have learned here often comes up in conversation.  I like that.
