So, what's going on with Altadena? Inventory is increasing and prices are going down. We are in a very strong buyer's market in Altadena. The number of homes under contract has increased which will help the situation if home buyers will be able to get financing and close escrows. Price per square foot of sold homes has increased although the overall Altadena home price has increased. Home buyers are careful with how much they are willing to pay and are buying smaller homes.

Condos and townhomes in Altadena are non-existent at the moment.
