Monterey Hills Real Estate Update

It's time to take a look at The Hill - Monterey Hills!  Inventory, unfortunately, is still extremely low.  Let's take a look at the chart below from Trendgraphix documenting the real estate data from Pasadena Foothill Association of Realtors.

It's interesting to note that unit volume went down 56.7% from April of 2007 to April of 2010, from 69 units to only 30 available Monterey Hills properties for sale.

Only a few listings are coming on the market each months and very few sales are closing.

Additional Monterey Hills statistics to consider:

Looking backwards... if you bought a Monterey Hills condo 10 years ago and held on to the property, what kind of returns would you expect to see? Let's take a look below:

Not bad... a nice return of close to 150%.

Here's a look of Monterey Hills homes available for sale now:

Langham Hotel, previously known as the Pasadena Ritz Carlton, is surrounded by some of the most beautiful luxurious estates in Pasadena and San Marino.  So, if you are curious to see what's available in the Langham Huntington Hotel Neighborhood, let's take a look at a couple of homes I previewed today.

1535 Kenmore Road, Pasadena

My personal favorite of the tour.  This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is right around the corner, on a cul-de-sac, with a tranquil and peaceful back yard. 

Per Listing Agent:  An entry is a journey, & architect Miller Fong has employed harmony, flow & spatial dynamics to guide us into his own stylish contemporary world. This striking residence is open & livable w/ a flexible floor plan, walls of glass & remarkable vistas. On entering, a serpentine wall leads past a spacious den w/ fireplace towards the great room w/ generous seating area, fireplace, dining space & fantastic kitchen w/ newer stainless appliances. The materials are exciting: a mosaic tile backsplash is juxtaposed against a polished, stained concrete floor; marble counters are a foil for sponged walls; & natural skylights contrast w/ European, low voltage cable strung lighting. A convenient guest bath & laundry are adjacent. The master suite offers a grand picture window, a spectacular bath w/ Jacuzzi tub & wall-less garden shower & a dream dressing room that shares the entry's dramatic serpentine wall. 3 additional bedrooms, a handsome bath & extensive patio space complete this exquisite home.

445 Buena Vista Street, San Marino California

Close enough to the Langham, but just a few blocks away from San Marino's Mission District and infamous Julienne's Restaurant.  The best of both worlds!  In conversation with the listing agent, this property is not expected to be available for longer than a week or so.  Multiple offers expected.

1335 Saint Albans Road San Marino

This home is also in San Marino known for its #1 rated California Public Schools.  It is almost across the street from Lacy Park with its rose garden and tennis courts.  If you're looking for a Mid-Century this luxury property might be for you.

Per Listing Agent - A spacious one story mid century home situated on over 1/2 acre (25,200 sq.ft.) in one of the most desirable San Marino locations, adjacent to Lacy Park and the Huntington Library.

Arcadia home buyers that qualify for the home tax credit have only a few more days to enter into a purchase contract with a seller.  Unless, of course, they are looking for new construction homes to try to get their share of the California Home Tax Credit.

Below is a list of our Dusty Deals™ in Arcadia.  Dusty deals™ are homes that have been listed on the market for over 3 months and are regular home sales, not foreclosures (REOs) or short sales.  The reason we call them Dusty Deals^TM is most home sellers are ready to "deal" and "wheel" and sometimes, we're able to negotiate a much better price with a regular sale vs. a short sale or even a foreclosure.  So... without further delay, here's our Arcadia's dusty deals™ list:
