Pasadena CA Real Estate

Altadena real estate is still seeing an increase in home listings.  Inventory is increasing, prices are going down and sales will be decreasing in the next couple of months.  Take a look at the number of Altadena homes with accepted offers (sales pending) and you will see a significant decrease from 37 in June to 22 in October. 

Starting with October 2008, I will be able to include the Median Sales Price which will help us in tracking the real estate market a bit more effectively.

In the meantime, Altadena is still in a very strong buyer's market.

Condos and townhomes in Altadena are still almost nowhere to be found, but for the persistent few who want to buy an Altadena condo there are a couple available for sale.

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 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, 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!

For a complete list of dusty deals for November - homes for sale in Arcadia, Alhambra, Altadena, Burbank, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, La Canada Flintridge, Monrovia and Monterey Hills, please visit - Dusty Deals for November 2008.   With the inventory of homes being at a record high, you'll need to scroll down to find the city that you're interested in.  It's a very long post.

Over the last few months, Pasadena home buyers have been learning about short sales. A short sale simply means that a bank is willing to accept less money than what the owner owes on his or her home because the property can not sell at a price high enough to cover the mortgage and selling expenses fully. In essence, an owner is "upside down" on their property.

Short sales create an opportunity for Pasadena home buyers to get a potential deal on the home of their dreams. Short sales are not the easiest sales to pull together and it takes a real estate agent with experience, excellent negotiating skills, and perseverance to work with the banks. I say banks, because in most cases, there are several banks involved in the transaction since the home sellers usually have more than one loan on their property.

Short sales also take a lot of patience on the buyer's side. They have a tendency to drag on, sometimes for months. But, having said that, we can not ignore the fact that they present potential opportunities.

Here's a list of short sales in Pasadena and surrounding cities for your review. Feel free to call me at 626-627-7107 or email me at Irina@Irina4RealEstate.com for more information or to set up an appointment for a private showing.

Also, feel free to search the multiple listing service at your convenience.
