Pasadena CA - South Orange Grove Blvd Condos and Townhomes For Sale

 

This is a summary of South Orange Grove Boulevard corridor condos and townhomes for sale and a market update as of December 3, 2013.   This will cover the resale market for the category for the month of November and year-to-date period for the year with a comparison to the same period in 2012.  Information is from our local multiple listing service(mls).   

 

Tournament House - Tournament of Roses - Pasadena Realtor Michael Jacobs 818.516.4393 cellMany will recognize the building featured to the left - as the Tournament of Roses home.  Wrigley House is the headquarters for the Tournament of Roses which organizes the annual Rose Parade.   The home was designed by G Lawrence Stimson and includes magnificent gardens.    The South Orange Grove area was once known as “MIllionaire’s Row” for the fine homes and mansions which once lined the street.   Today you will find some of the area’s most desired condominium and townhome complexes.

 

There are currently just seven properties on the market for sale and they range in price from $709,000 to $2,895,000.  Another seven are in escrow.   During the month of November there were three sales according to mls statistics and the closed transactions ranged in price from $735,000 to $1,000,000 with an average sales price of $828,333(median $750,000).   

 

During the November of 2012, there were two sales:  a circa 1936 historic condo in the Vista Grande complex on South Grand for $505,000 and a mid-century condo located across from the Tournament House for $520,000.

 

For the first eleven months of 2013, there have been 42 South Orange Grove area condos and townhomes sold according to mls statistics.   The transactions range in price from $490,000 to $1,095,000 with an average sales price of $713,500(median $679,500).   The average price per square foot stands at $375.02 and the average sales price versus last list price is 99.28% with 21 selling at or above the list price.   In the same period in 2012, there were 53 closed sales ranging in price from $353,000 to $1,200,000 with an average sales price of $655,541(median $629,000).   The average price per square foot for the period was $340.08.

 

Inventory of the South Orange Grove condos and townhomes for sale remains low which has had an obvious effect on sales volume.   There is new construction underway in the area on the campus of the former Ambassador College which should positively impact sales and prices in the neighborhood(more on that project later).

Michael,

What a lovely complex so close to Wrigley house.   This Orange Grove complex is lovely and in a desirable area, no wonder so few are left.  With the Rose Bowl being front and center for you twice in January, I would not be surprised if someone from the cold side of the country would want to move to your area.  A

Good morning Michael,

Thanks for showcasing the South Orange Grove neighborhood in Pasadena. I look forward to hearing more about the upcoming project at the former Ambassador College campus.

We've got heavy frost and 23 degrees this morning. It's the time of year when locals start to dream of sunny and warm locations. ;)

South Orange Grove condos are certainly one fine place to call home in Pasadena. If you are considering buying or selling real estate in this area I would only want a Realtor who knew the property inside and out. That Real Estate expert is Michael Jacobs.

Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting on this update for South Orange Grove condominiums and townhomes.   The Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game are definitely big draws for Pasadena and the entire Los Angeles County/Southern California market.   In fact, one of the many benefits of the parade is show off our typically wonderful weather on January 1 to the many snowbound residents of other parts of the country.
