Leave a comment » Wallace Neff Classic in Pasadena California - Luxury Estate for SaleSee a Wallace Neff renovated estate near CalTech. Luxury real estate homes for sale in Pasadena California.Last week, I had the opportunity to tour 1649 Lombardy Road in Pasadena California. This gracious home resides among the Pasadena estates that are minutes from the Huntington Library in San Marino and CalTech in Pasadena. Wallace Neff, the architect known for developing the "California" style of homes excelled himself when he designed this estate in 1924. Since then, this luxury home has been tastefully renovated and is now waiting for a new owner.

2 comments » Pasadena Foreclosures: What Can We Expect in 2010?Pasadena's foreclosureThere's a lot of talk about the "shadow foreclosure inventory" across the country - homes that are in the pipeline for a foreclosure or have been foreclosed by the bank, but not released or listed on the real estate market and are not part of the existing inventory. On December 17, 2009, Bloomberg reported:
The number of homes that may be in the pipeline for a sale because of foreclosure and delinquency climbed about 55 percent to 1.7 million at the end of September, according to estimates by First American CoreLogic.
We are constantly getting calls from home buyers asking about available foreclosures in Pasadena California. Unfortunately, the volume has been pretty darn low. Almost nothing to choose from. If a nice REO home comes up on the market, it is sold (usually with multiple offers) immediately. Let's take a look at the actual REO (foreclosure) inventory in Pasadena:Single Family Homes available for sale - 9 Condos available for sale - 4 Townhomes available for sale - 3
As you can see the foreclosure count above is pretty miserable compared to the overall inventory of Pasadena homes available for sale:Single Family Homes available for sale - 203 Condos available for sale - 152 Townhomes available for sale - 50
But, are we sitting on a ton of "shadow" foreclosure inventory? When will these REOs be released? How will that inventory affect the current Pasadena home prices? Let's look at some hard data as of January 10, 2010 Bank Owned Homes in Pasadena: 88 totalSince we know that only 16 REO homes are actually listed for sale, the other 72 are MIA. That's 82% of foreclosures that are sitting on lender books waiting to hit our real estate market. That's also approximately 16% of additional inventory to the existing listing inventory. Here's the break down: Single Family - 53 homes Condos and Townhomes - 35 Read More: See Pasadena Foreclosure List of Properties Number of Pasadena home owners who received Notices of Default (NODs): 206To receive a Notice of Default, otherwise known as NOD, a home owner has to be behind on their payments. They usually would have missed at least 3 payments and the Notice of Default is the beginning of a foreclosure process. Here's the break down: Single Family - 143 Condos and Townhomes - 63 Number of Pasadena home owners with Auction Dates already scheduled: 298Most of these homes will be auctioned off in January or early February unless the home owners are able to either get current on their mortgage, negotiate a short sale with the bank, or get the bank to postpone the auction date. Single Family -232 Condos and Townhomes - 66 Read More: It's all about forgiveness! Understand the short sale process It's interesting to note that only a few of these home owners are trying to negotiate a short sale with their lender. Only 9 condo/townhomes are listed for sale as short sale and 30 single family homes. As you can see, we will definitely be seeing quite a few foreclosures on the Pasadena real estate horizon. When will they hit? I don't know. We've seen continuous efforts by the government to help home owners hold on to their homes including lender moratoriums delaying the foreclosure process. Unfortunately, that is not helping the majority of Pasadena property owners who are in trouble. If you are a Pasadena home buyer, 2010 will be a year of opportunity. If you are a home owner who is in trouble and is in jeopardy of losing your home, don't wait for the bank to foreclose. A short sale is a much better option. Give us a call for a free consultation and we'll try to help. To see how your neighborhood is affected by foreclosure, take a look at our FREE foreclosure neighborhood data and analysis tool here.

Leave a comment » 2009 Real Estate Sales Recap and Pasadena Home Sales Forecast for 2010Real estate home sales analysis in Pasadena and surrounding neighborhoods. See real estate statistics for 2003 through 2009.As 2009 wrapped up, it's interesting to see how Pasadena and surrounding cities real estate market performed. So instead of writing our monthly report, I wanted to take a look at the last few years of home sales. Last year was difficult for many families, short sales and foreclosures were showing up in both low end and high price spectrum of the real estate market. However, 2009 presented many opportunities for both investors, first time home buyers, as well as long term renters waiting for prices to come down to a point of affordability. The prices have not moved down as much as expected in Pasadena California and surrounding neighborhoods, but the interest rate remained historically low and coupled with tax incentives, home buyers were out in force. Let's take a look at the home sales statistics below. Pasadena Home Sales 2003 through 2009:Throughout this year, I've been saying that Pasadena was very low on inventory. The moment a home came up on the market, if it was priced correctly, it was gone immediately. We were expecting to be hit with a wave of foreclosures, but that never realized. We've seen some bank owned properties hit the real estate market, but moratorium after moratorium kept the majority of the foreclosures from hitting the streets. There's been a lot of talk of "shadow" foreclosure inventory. The inventory of foreclosure homes that are still sitting on bank books. 2010 might be the year for the shadow inventory to be released especially in the higher priced end of the market. As you can see, 2009 had a higher number of home units sold at 841 an increase of 28% over 2008, but still far short of the 1,300 to 1,400 units in 2003 and 2004. Take a look at the average listing price per square foot vs average sold price per square foot. This pretty much tells you the story of the Pasadena real estate market in 2009 - multiple offers! Prices were bid up by the buyers and on average the price per sq. ft. was almost 22% higher than the original listed sq. ft. price - pretty darn amazing! The actual average closing Pasadena home sales price was at $900,582, way higher than 2008's $851,702. Don't let anyone tell you that there are no home buyers out there. The home buyers are there and ready to buy. The prices are right and the financial conditions - interest rates, government tax incentives are making this a perfect storm for many.

Read More: See all Pasadena homes for sale Pasadena Condo and Townhouse Sales - 7 year analysis (2003 - 2009)A similar situation with condos and townhomes, the volume of home sales is down, but not as signifcantly as we see in Pasadena's single family homes. Pasadena condo and townhome buyers are seeing prices at the 2004 level. Think of rolling the home prices back 5 years - not bad! It is taking longer to sell these condos and townhomes, but still less than 3 months. Remember the post about whether or not we are in the buyer's vs seller's market? We are still in a pretty strong seller's market - these properties are selling if priced correctly.

The volume went up drastically from 2008, but buyer were much more finicky. South Pasadena is known for older, character homes. The homes that were staged and updated sold immediately with multiple offers. Homes that had deferred maintenance or were not presented as well as they should took a bit of time to sell. South Pasadena Home Sales - 7 year analysis (2003 - 2009)
Read More: See all South Pasadena homes for sale South Pasadena Condo and Townhouse Sales - 7 year analysis (2003 - 2009)There were really some amazing deals to be found in South Pasadena's condo and townhome market. First of all, families were able to buy homes within one of the top school districts in the area for as little as $349 per sq. ft. On average, a So Pas home buyer would need a bit over $500,000, but that's still half the price of a single family home. One of my lucky home buyer clients, were able to buy a 3 bedroom townhome for only $420,000. That would have been truly unheard of a few years ago. The best advice for families that are waiting to get into the South Pasadena real estate market is to be prepared - work with a real estate agent that cares about your needs, get pre-approved and be available to view properties as they come up on the market.

Prices held quite well and homes were selling higher than they did in 2007! San Marino is known for its huge lawns, amazing school district and a very close-knit community. With Huntington Library, Lacy Park and luxury estates, it's truly an amazing place to live. A home buyer still needs a bit over $1.7 million to get an average priced home. There are homes available in the low 1 million dollar range and sometimes one can find a home under a million, but for the most part these homes need quite a bit of attention. San Marino was not immune to foreclosures. We did see two foreclosure homes - both homes sold over a million still. If you are interested in tracking potential foreclosures in San Marino, bookmark this San Marino foreclosure post. It will update, real time as new foreclosures come up on the market. It's also interesting to note that there are no condos or townhomes in San Marino. However, there's a complex of townhomes on the border of Pasadena and San Marino that is assigned to San Marino schools. There are also certain homes in San Gabriel and Pasadena that fall under the San Marino schools boundaries.

It's taking longer to sell a home as well as the price sold has rolled back to 2004 levels. This is great for home buyers. Inventory of homes has increased and there's quite a bit of choice. Even though, we are seeing multiple offers on some of the homes, overall buyers are able to find a home to fit their needs and check book. Homes are being priced fairly and are selling close to aslking price - just a percentage or so below. San Gabriel Homes for Sales data for 2003 through 2009
Read More: See all San Gabriel Homes for Sale San Gabriel Condos and Townhomes for salePrice per square foot has decreased to $271 for San Gabriel condos and townhomes, but the average sales price is actually a bit higher than in 2008. Home buyers are getting more square footage for their money. The selection of condos and townhomes is quite nice. Inventory has doubled from last year and is higher than the year prior. Home buyers are nicely surprised with the choice of homes. This can also be seen in a longer marketing period of 105 days compared to previous years of only a month or less on the market.
Read More: Search San Gabriel Condos and Townomes Monterey Hills Condo and Townhome Sales 2003 through 2009:I was actually quite surprised to see the inventory increase towards the end of 2009. Monterey Hills condo and townhome owners have been holding on to their homes and not putting them on the market. However, we did see quite a bit of distressed sales in the area which helped increase the inventory. The price per square foot fell under $300 to $277 and is rolling prices back to the 2003 level. Folks working in downtown LA or have kids attending USC love Monterey Hills for its geographic convenience. A lot of investors are itching to buy units because they are so easy to rent and are conveniently located minutes from South Pasadena and Pasadena. Overall, I think that we'll see more foreclosures and opportunities in 2010 in Monterey Hills. There's definitely "shadow" inventory to be found next year. We will be watching closely.

It is also interesting to take a look at the five year trend of what Pasadena home sellers are pricing their property at and what it is actually selling for. Based on the graph below it seems like the home sellers are a bit unrealistic in recent months and the gap between reality and fantasy pricing has grown.
