I just came across a chart from my favorite real-time real estate analysis company - Altos Research - analyzing the health of Pasadena California's real estate market in January of 2006. I thought it would be interesting to compare the above Pasadena real estate snapshot to the one that was just received on December 15, 2008 - almost 2 years later.
Looking at these Pasadena housing statistics side by side, it's interesting to note the following:
- Median List price is 20% lower in 2008 vs. 2006
- There are properties for as low as $120,000 in 2008. The lowest priced home in January of 2006 was $459,000.
- Average price per square foot of Pasadena homes for sale dropped by 17.6%.
- The available Pasadena home inventory increased by almost 54%!
- It is taking twice as long to market a home now - almost 4.5 months.
- 44% of homes listed expire and have to be relisted by Pasadena realtors compared to only 17% in December of 2006. Main reason for re-listing Pasadena homes is incorrect and overly high pricing.
- Which leads to 2 out of 3 properties needing a price reduction - 40%.
