Pasadena Real Estate

This year, many calls and emails from potential home buyers came in about short sales and foreclosure homes in South Pasadena; every one is looking for that "Real Estate DEAL"! As we begin to evaluate the year that is coming to a close and look ahead for the goals of 2010, for many home ownwership will be at the top of the list. Don't limit your possiblities to foreclosure homes and short sales!

There are South Pasadena homes and condos for sale now that could be purchased for pretty good prices. And... when you are not dealing with banks, but are negotiating directly with home sellers, you can ask for concessions.  For example, wouldn't it be nice to have the home seller buy down your interest rate to make your monthly payment lower?

A great place to start would be with homes, condominiums and townhouses that have been on the market for several months. Most home sellers at this point have either adjusted their home price or are open to negotiation. The houses below have been on the market for over 100 days (over 3 months!). There could be some pretty good deals hiding in there and incentives! With the first time home buyer tax credit still available through April of 2010, why not make your new home dreams a reality! We call them Dusty Deals™!

Here is our Dusty Deals™ list for South Pasadena, California - Find your South Pasadena home:

As a real estate agent working in and around Pasadena California, I am constantly getting phone calls from buyers looking for great deals and information on the latest real estate prices.

If you are looking for a real estate deal, you came to the right place. I will be posting my "Dusty Deals™" by area on a monthly basis right here for your review.

What is a "Dusty Deal™" list? It is a list of homes for sale in and around Pasadena including homes, condos and townhomes that have been on the market for over 100 days. Are all of these great deals? Not necessarily. BUT, the home seller has been actively marketing their home for a very long time and is probably ready to deal.

Why are these homes on the market still? The most likely reason is that they were overpriced to begin with. The first few weeks of marketing a home for sale are the most critical weeks for any seller. If the property is overpriced, or not marketed correctly, it gets stale. Local real estate agents ignore these homes and avoid showing them to their buyers. Potential home buyers look these homes up on the internet, but wonder what is wrong with these homes since they didn't sell.

My take on this is, if you are looking for a deal, these homes are the best place to start. Why? Home sellers are tired of showing their homes and most are ready to NEGOTIATE their price and SELL!

South Pasadena's inventory of new homes for sale is on the decline.  With only 9 new homes on the real estate market and 5 condos and townhomes, it's no wonder that this month's Dusty Deals™ list is so minimal.

Dusty Deals™ is a name that I've given to homes for sale that have been marketed for over 100 days.  Are all of these great deals? Not necessarily. BUT, the sellers have been actively marketing their homes for a very long time and is probably ready to deal.

Why are these homes on the market still? The most likely reason is that they were overpriced to begin with.

So without further ado, here's the very minimal Dusty Deals™ list for South Pasadena.  Please note that there are no Single Family Homes on the market for over 100 days, only a few South Pasadena condos.
