Real Estate Activity in South Pasadena California - Home and Condo Sales for July 2009

Home sales in South Pasadena have been stable over the last few months with 13 single family homes sold in June and July and 11 in May. New listings are in the dozen range each month this summer.

READ THE LATEST SOUTH PASADENA REAL ESTATE REPORT HERE

Two new condo complexes went up for sale in July, thus increasing the number of available condos by 200% since June. I have been able to preview the complex on El Centro in the Mission District of South Pasadena. It has a very urban feel and look with open spaces, cement floors and exposed venting. It very much reminds me of the Prado building in Pasadena only on a much smaller scale. Even though it's new construction, in my opinion it's priced a bit high, at $400 to $500 per square foot, for its location right next to the Gold Line and a very spartan feel.

The other complex is at 815 Fairview Avenue also priced in the low to mid $400 per sq. ft. and built in 2009. featuring 1 bedroom with 2 bathrooms.

Given that only 4 condos and townhomes out of 22 new listings are resales and priced affordably, the choice for South Pasadena condo buyers is very limited unless you are looking for new construction and are willing to pay a premium.

It's interesting to note that the real estate sales activity has increased dramatically from January to June. Take a look at the chart below:

Sierra Madre Real Estate Report for 2nd Quarter of 2009 - Home Sales and Statistics

Home sales in Sierra Madre were pretty consistent over the last two months and of course, a little on the slow side in April. Remember when looking at closed home sales, we're looking at properties that went under contract and in escrow a month to two months prior.

Absorption rate went down drastically from 37.9 weeks of inventory in April for single family homes to only 16.4 weeks. Homes in June sold on average of 95.54% of asking price.

Since there are not too many condos and townhomes, there were no surprises in statistics. Sierra Madre condos and townhomes sales stayed pretty consistent.
