November 2010 Statistics

When we are looking at Pasadena's real estate statistics for November 2010, the number of sales reported will reflect home purchases that took place early fall in September and October months. The escrow period, the time that it takes from home seller's acceptance of your offer to the actual property title change into your name usually takes 30 to 45 days. With the tightened lending requirements and appraisal issues, it might take a little longer.

In the month of November, 79 single family homes had signed contracts and 38 condos and tonwhomes went under contract. Let's take a look at how Pasadena real estate performed a little deeper:

Pasadena Real Estate November 2010 Volume

  Single FamilyHomes Condos & Townhomes
New On the Market 69 43
Contracts Signed 79 38
Total # of Listings 318 247
# of Closed Sales 27 15

Not too many distressed sales during the month of November - only 6 out of 27 (1 in 5 or 22%) of homes and 2 short sales (13%) of condos and townhomes.

Pasadena Real Estate November 2010 Pricing

  Single FamilyHomes Condos & Townhomes
Average List Price $654,210 $506,700
Average Sold Price $615,072 $496,300
Average Price/Sq. Ft. $336 $341
# of Days to Sell 96 89

Interestingly enough, the average sold price per square foot for Pasadena homes, condos and townhomes is pretty much the same. It also takes about the same amount of time to sell - 3 months. Drilling down a little more the signed contracts in November actually moved the price per square foot higher for single family homes. They are tracking at $380 per square foot, while condos and townhomes are tracking at $331.
