Altadena real estate is still seeing an increase in home listings. Inventory is increasing, prices are going down and sales will be decreasing in the next couple of months. Take a look at the number of Altadena homes with accepted offers (sales pending) and you will see a significant decrease from 37 in June to 22 in October.

Starting with October 2008, I will be able to include the Median Sales Price which will help us in tracking the real estate market a bit more effectively.

In the meantime, Altadena is still in a very strong buyer's market.

Condos and townhomes in Altadena are still almost nowhere to be found, but for the persistent few who want to buy an Altadena condo there are a couple available for sale.

If you are looking for Altadena foreclosures, here's a list of all Altadena homes that are bank owned and foreclosed.
