As September rolls around, home buyers usually see a decrease in new homes on the market. Not this September - Pasadena's real estate inventory is as strong as it was during the summer months. Pasadena home inventory increased for Single Family Homes (SFR), Condos and Townhomes - across the board. Absorption rate is going up as well which means that these pasadena home listings will take longer to sell than before.

Pasadena SFR sales sold close to asking price at an average of 96.62%. 25 out of 59 home sales sold at full price or over asking.

The lowest priced closed SFR sale was for $230,000 at 816 Lincoln Avenue.

The highest priced closed SFR sale closed at $2,950,000. This Pasadena luxury home was at 1805 Kinneloa Mesa Road.

Looking at the Pasadena condominium statistics below, you will notice that the price per square foot of homes sold increased from $397 to $445. The driving force behind this increase is the multiple sales of condos in the new condominium project at 217 S. Marengo in Pasadena. Pasadena home shoppers want newly built homes and are willing to pay for them.

The Market Action Index indicator has remained relatively flat not providing strong indicators for real estate market conditions.
