What’s Happening So Far This Year in South Pasadena CA Real Estate?
This is a look at real estate in South Pasadena, California for the first month of 2016 with a comparison to 2015. I will also share a recap of properties on the market for sale and in escrow. This report is divided into two parts --- single family homes and condominiums, townhomes and lofts. Statistical information in this report has been gathered from our local multiple listing service(mls) and may not include all sales in the city. While the information is deemed reliable, it has not been verified and is not guaranteed.
South Pasadena(zip code 91030) has a small town charm where you can find tree-lined streets with character homes as well as more modern homes with incredible views in the hills. While the number is more limited, there are condos, townhomes and loft units in the city as well.
The city which is an independent city - not a part of Pasadena - is used extensively in films, television, commercials, video and print media as it can often fit the role as Anywhere USA. South Pasadena Unified School District is well-regarded and the library plus the city’s parks and recreation programs are quite popular. Many small independently owned businesses and restaurants further enhance the neighborhood feel of the community.
Known to locals and fans of the city alike as South Pas, the city is quite convenient to the Arroyo Seco Parkway(110) as well as other freeways and a Gold Line light rail station at Mission and Meridian which is also the home to the weekly Farmers Market(held each Thursday).

In January 2016, there were seven mls-reported closed transactions. These sales ranged from $800,000 to $1,618,000 with an average sales price of $1,112,214(median sales price of $1,005,000). They sold at 96.61% of last list price and for an average sales price per square foot of $476.02.

There are currently six properties on the market for sale with an additional eight in escrow. Those for sale range from $450,000 to $988,000. A year ago, there were seven available for sale and another six in escrow.
Summary
In short, the transactions in one given month should not be taken as a prediction of a full year. It is merely a snapshot look at properties on the market or for sale(and sold) in a particular given time frame. Further details are necessary in order for a potential seller to arrive at an appropriate listing price and for prospective buyers to determine their offer price.
