San Marino's real estate prices have always been driven by their top rated public schools, a small knit community and close proximity to Pasadena and downtown LA.  As expected, San Marino real estate activity has stayed strong even in the down market and as Pasadena's real estate started picking up, San Marino housing market immedicately followed.

Inventory of homes remained pretty much the same last month, but the sales activity has picked up significantly and so did the price per square foot that home buyers are willing to pay.  Take a look at the data below.

The inventory of homes, condos and townhomes in South Pasadena is still very low and the demand is rising.  Home buyers looking to get into a South Pasadena condo or townhome have very few choices and even the property located next to the Gold Line tracks went into escrow with mutliple offers.  What does it mean to home buyers?  If you see a home listing that you're interested in, call your real estate agent and set up an appointment to see it quickly.

South Pasadena home sellers just need to continue to price their homes correctly, prepare their property for the market by staging it and sit back to review the purchase offers as they start rolling in.

Banks are still holding on to their foreclosures and even though there is a potential of about a handful of foreclosures hitting the South Pasadena market over the next several months, the number of home buyers is still far outweighs the number of South Pas home sellers.
