Home sales in Sierra Madre were pretty consistent over the last two months and of course, a little on the slow side in April. Remember when looking at closed home sales, we’re looking at properties that went under contract and in escrow a month to two months prior.
Absorption rate went down drastically from 37.9 weeks of inventory in April for single family homes to only 16.4 weeks. Homes in June sold on average of 95.54% of asking price.
Since there are not too many condos and townhomes, there were no surprises in statistics. Sierra Madre condos and townhomes sales stayed pretty consistent.

Built in 2007, this lovely home has an open and versatile floor plan. The downstairs sitting room has French doors which open to the outdoor kitchen, patio and large terraced back yard. If needed, the sitting room can function as a bedroom with a closet and attached three quarter bathroom. The present sellers used it for extended family in the past. The three sided fireplace opens to the living room, generous chef's kitchen and the dining area. The upstairs accommodates a practical computer station on the roomy landing, two bedrooms which share a bathroom and a spacious master suite with sitting area, balcony with views and a fabulous bathroom. Don't be fooled by the lot's square footage. The sellers built this house towards the front of the lot and the rear yard is very large. Besides the patio and outdoor kitchen, there's a gazebo with a firepit and two large grassy terraced areas, even room for a pool. Beautifully decorated, your buyers will love the light filled rooms and openness.
