Altadena – May Trends in Real Estate

Altadena Real Estate Market: When the housing market peaked back in 2006, no one really thought about a long housing bust lasting up to 5 years.  However, we are seeing indications that it’s a great time to buy. Why?  For starters, the mortgage interest rate has been around 4.5% the first week of June 2011.  And, the lower home prices make it affordable for buyers who have been carefully waiting on the side lines.

Data for Altadena in the month of May: (data from I-Tech MLS)

105 properties were available for sale.

36 properties were sold, and 31 homes went into contract (escrow).

Compare to the month of April,  for sale units went up 9.4%.  Sold units increased by 38.5%.

Months of inventory fell from 3.7 months in April to 2.9 months in May, a change of 21.6%.

    There is just something special about a character home. Possibly the storied history or the attention to detail or the one-of-a-kind fixtures or simply the beauty of its architecture. Regardless, owning a home of this nature is always worthwhile. Thankfully, 2304 Santa Anita Avenue is one of those homes. Built in 1925, this Tudor style property certainly lives up to this standard.The floor plan of three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,628 square feet was thoughtfully designed with a spacious living room, formal dining room, large kitchen, and all three bedrooms off the central hallway. One of the many highlights is the quaint front courtyard set behind an arched hedge and wooden gate. Through the front porch is the living room. The space offers a fireplace, multiple French windows, and recessed lighting. The dining room includes wall sconces, an ornate chandelier, and French doors to the courtyard. The kitchen features tiled floors, wood cabinetry, and a Wolf range and hood flanked by wall sconces, tiled backsplash, and butcher block counters. Each of the three bedrooms are nicely sized with the main bedroom having its own 3/4 bathroom.The front yard is landscaped with decomposed granite, drought resistant plants, and mature trees. The rear yard includes a stone patio, green grass, and tall privacy hedges. Additional features of note are a newer roof, central heating and air conditioning, copper plumbing, and ABS drain lines to the property line.
