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:
