Real Estate Housing Update for San Marino California

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.

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.

South Pasadena Dusty Deals (TM) - Homes for Sale

Latest Dusty Deals(TM) list for South Pasadena for our home buyers

Here's the latest "Dusty DealsTM" list for South Pasadena, California.

What is a "Dusty Deals™" list? It is a list of homes for sale in South 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 seller has 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. 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 or receive property listings from their real estate agents from the Multiple Listing Service, but wonder what is wrong with them 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!

New Construction in Pasadena under $400,000

Don't miss an opportunity to own a brand new condo in the Lake Avenue District of Pasadena California

I visited new condos built on Lake Avenue with a client yesterday.  We were looking to buy newly built condo in Pasadena under $400,000.  I have to say that once again, I was very impressed with the condos at Lake@Walnut

The building itself is wonderful.  Plenty of open space and fresh air corridors.  Outdoor patio seating area allows residents to mingle and spend time with family and friends.  The club room is beautifully appointed and inviting.

 

Lake@Walnut patio

New construction in Pasadena is so rare that this condo development is a breath of fresh air.  Seriously... each new condo comes with beautiful Kitchen Aid Stainless Steel appliances including a refrigerator.  The developer is also offering Whirlpool Duet or Duet Sport washer and dryer.  Custom flloring and window coverings are part of the purchase price. 

 

Lake@Walnut appliances

There unit mix is 50% 1 bedroom condos and 50% 2 bedroom condos with some live/work spaces mixed in. There are 9 different models or as Lake@Walnut developer refers to them "residences" to choose from and 2 live/work floor plans to choose from.

 

Lake@Walnut living room

I looked at two 1-bedroom condos that were available for sale on the 4th floor.  The views were spectacular facing South Lake giving you an ultimate urban feel.  Each one of the units was close to 1,000 sq. ft. of living space.  One condo was available for only $352,000 and the other for $362,000 - remember this is brand new construction!  The HOA (Home Owner Association) dues were in the low $200s.

 

Lake@Walnut Pasadena City Views

In my opinion, this is one of the best buys if you are looking for newly built condos in Pasadena. Prices for 2 bedroom condos range in the $500,000 to $600,000 range.

If you are interested in more information or would like to visit the show room to look at the models, please call me at 626-627-7107 or email me at Irina@PasadenaViews.com.  As nice as the sales staff at Lake@Walnut is, you really need to have your own buyer representation - an advocate who will work for you and ensure that you get the best possible service, attention and all the perks that the developer offers. 

The developer insists that your first visit is with a real estate agent so that you are registered and represented.  Otherwise, the sales staff representing the developer will be working with you.

Compare that with the only 1 bedroom condos available for sale right now in Pasadena:

Address  Price Sq. Ft. Year Built
101 W Howard St Pasadena, CA 91103 $499,900 670 1914
461 N Garfield Ave Pasadena, CA 91101 $142,900 636 1901
771 N Garfield Ave Pasadena 91104-4216 $425,000 1380 1900
1462 N Catalina Ave Pasadena, CA 91104 $349,000 744 1922
1809 N Los Robles Ave Pasadena, CA 91104 $375,000 464 1908
1395 El Sereno Ave Pasadena, CA 91103 $215,000 812 1923
459 N Mar Vista Ave Pasadena 91106-1122 $269,900 695 1923

South Pasadena's Dusty Deals(TM) List (Home Buys) for April 2009

See April 2009 list of homes classified as South Pasadena's Dusty Deals

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. 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 or receive property listings from their real estate agents from the Multiple Listing Service, but wonder what is wrong with them 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!

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.

South Pasadena's Dusty Deals™ for April 2009:

Address BR BA Original Price Current Price Price /SqFt HOA MLS#
1810 Ramona Ave #26 South Pasadena, CA 91030 2 2 $380,000 $380,000 $292 $432 12114812
1035 Arroyo Verde Rd #D South Pasadena, CA 91030 3 3 $430,000 $430,000 $382 $150 640030215
6221 E Monterey Rd Los Angeles, CA 90042 2 2 $450,000 $450,000 $298 $255 642284967
1130 Huntington Dr #B South Pasadena, CA 91030 2 3 $499,999 $499,999 $348 $170 637791054
1946 Huntington Dr South Pasadena, CA 91030-4959 2 3 $529,800 $529,800 $321 $300 642313552
402 El Centro St #5 South Pasadena 91030-3054 3 3 $592,500 $592,500 $337 $505 642295205

List extracted from the Multiple Listing Service (ITEC)

 

I have previewed a few of these South Pasadena condos over the last few days and have to tell you that they were in terrible shape.  Unkept and not clean, smelly and unpleasant to walk through.  If you can see beyond that, this might be an opportunity.
