Pasadena real estate numbers are out for the month of August. I’ve put together a visual graphic for my clients to provide a quick overview of the real estate market conditions:
Here are some of my observations:
1. This summer has truly been an incredible recovery for many property owners that have taken the plunge and put their home on the market in Pasadena.
2. Multiple offers continued through the summer and are still seen on a daily basis.
3. Inventory is still very low. Banks are holding on to their “shadow inventory” and not releasing many foreclosures.
4. Home buyers have increased their purchase power with the historically low interest rates and many are able to lock in these interest rates long term – 10, 15 and 30 years.
5. Many Pasadena home sellers are beautifully presenting their property by having it professionally staged and many are providing inspection reports to potential buyers.
6. Acceleration Clauses are being strategically used by home buyers and their agents.
Quick statistics:
- 89 homes sold in August and 91 homes were listed.
- Average price of single family home sold in North West Pasadena was $630,000 last month vs. $513,000 same period last year – a 22.8% increase.
- Average price of single family home sold in South West Pasadena was $902,000 last month vs. $1,018,000 same period last year – an 11.4% decrease.
- Average price of single family home sold in North East Pasadena was $569,000 last month vs. $469,000 same period last year – a 22.3% increase.
- Average price of single family home sold in South East Pasadena was $885,000 last mont vs. $1,286,000 same period last year – a 31.2% decrease.
Homes in the lower price range are moving much quicker than higher priced homes. We are definitely seeing a lot more first time home buyers which again speaks to the lower interest rates making it more possible for folks to afford a home and in many cases more financially advantageous than renting.

Set in a serene, wooded enclave that was once part of a historic Pasadena estate, this exceptional home designed by Stuart W. Fletcher, blends classic California Ranch and Mid-Century Modern styles. The residence features hallmark elements such as board-and-batten siding, gable roofs, and long, low lines--complemented by modern touches including exposed beams, open-concept living spaces, and expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls that invite the outdoors in. The living room offers a comfortable seating arrangement as well as a section along the glass wall that ties seamlessly into the dining area. The kitchen features a U-shaped workspace, a charming breakfast nook by the window, and a small utility area separated by a low wall. A second masonry wall, open at the top, runs along the kitchen wall, screening the dining area from view and forming a small hallway that leads to two spacious bedrooms. The private primary suite is tucked away at the end of a long wing, accessed from the dining area via a glass-lined corridor overlooking the gardens. On one side: lush views of mature landscaping. On the other: banks of built-in storage. The family room is visible through an opening in the white pine-paneled fireplace wall in the living room, echoing the use of natural materials throughout. The same stone used on the fireplace continues to the hearth, unifying the design. A carport, discreetly screened by louvers, is situated to the left of the motor court, with a semi-circular driveway allowing for extra parking and easy turn around. The generous back terrace is accessible from the primary bedroom, dining room, living room, and family room--offering a true extension of the home's living space and an ideal setting for gracious outdoor entertaining. Located just down the street from Polytechnic School and close to the Langham Hotel, Lake Avenue's shops and restaurants, and the Huntington Library, this is a truly rare offering in one of Pasadena's most prestigious neighborhoods, combining timeless architecture with an unparalleled location on historic Arden Road.
