South Pasadena Real Estate Analysis and Inventory of Homes, Condos and Townhomes for Month Ending May 2009

South Pasadena real estate is moving very quickly to a seller's market

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.

South Pasadena real estate statistics for February 2009 through May 2009:

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!

South Pasadena Real Estate - What's Up with the Housing Inventory?

South Pasadena real estate statistics

 

Do you remember the commercial?  Where is the beef?  Inventory in South Pasadena is sort of like that especially when it comes to South Pasadena condos and townhomes.

The pendulum is swinging very quickly to a buyer's market in South Pasadena and most of the neighborhoods in and around Pasadena.  Every offer that I have written in the last several weeks encountered a multiple offer situation.  And, when I say multiple offers, I mean multiple offers!  Unfortunately, we're seeing buyers out in force and the minimum number of other home buyers that my clients had to compete against was four, maximum so far this month was 28!  Although, I am happy to say that my buyers did beat out the other 27 and secured the home for themselves - yeah!

South Pasadena for the month of April did have 18 new homes listed, but the inventory is still holding at only 41 available housing units.  Condos and townhomes in South Pasadena are only at 12 available - not much selection. 

We are anxiously waiting for the foreclosure inventory which hopefully will be released by banks shortly.  Keep checking back... real estate market is changing daily.

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:
