November 2010 Statistics

When we are looking at Pasadena’s real estate statistics for November 2010, the number of sales reported will reflect home purchases that took place early fall in September and October months. The escrow period, the time that it takes from home seller’s acceptance of your offer to the actual property title change into your name usually takes 30 to 45 days. With the tightened lending requirements and appraisal issues, it might take a little longer.

In the month of November, 79 single family homes had signed contracts and 38 condos and tonwhomes went under contract. Let’s take a look at how Pasadena real estate performed a little deeper:

Pasadena Real Estate November 2010 Volume

	Single FamilyHomes	Condos & Townhomes
New On the Market	69	43
Contracts Signed	79	38
Total # of Listings	318	247
# of Closed Sales	27	15

Not too many distressed sales during the month of November – only 6 out of 27 (1 in 5 or 22%) of homes and 2 short sales (13%) of condos and townhomes.

Pasadena Real Estate November 2010 Pricing

	Single FamilyHomes	Condos & Townhomes
Average List Price	$654,210	$506,700
Average Sold Price	$615,072	$496,300
Average Price/Sq. Ft.	$336	$341
# of Days to Sell	96	89

Interestingly enough, the average sold price per square foot for Pasadena homes, condos and townhomes is pretty much the same. It also takes about the same amount of time to sell – 3 months. Drilling down a little more the signed contracts in November actually moved the price per square foot higher for single family homes. They are tracking at $380 per square foot, while condos and townhomes are tracking at $331.

South Pasadena Housing Review 2003 to 2011

Irina — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:09:26 +0000

South Pasadena Housing Report Card

Home Sales (Single Family Homes) – 2003 through 2011

Average Home Pricing:

Let’s take a look at South Pasadena’s real estate market performance for the last 9 years. Looking at the average prices of homes sold, it’s interesting to note that even though the prices fell down from the height of 2008, they have certainly recovered and ended 2011 almost 16% higher than 2010.

For those fortunate to have bought their home in 2003, the equity gain is quite significant – a whopping 51%!!!

The driving force behind South Pasadena’s home prices is continuing demand for good schools and family oriented neighborhood that provides trendy restaurants, parks and easy access to Metro Rail’s Gold Line.

Housing Inventory:

Supply and demand are definitely at play here. Take a look at the number of available homes in 2003 (255) compared to the average sales price ($646,771). In 2008, there were only 79 available homes for sale in South Pasadena demanding the highest average sales price close to $1.1 million. The last three years, we’ve seen a consistent number of property listings – around 10 a month.

We are not seeing many distressed properties like Real Estate Owned (REO) or short sales in South Pas. The shadow inventory doesn’t really apply here as well, with only 31 distressed homes in the funnel based on the latest Foreclosure Radar reports unlike Pasadena’s foreclosure statistics.

Well priced homes are still generating multiple offers at times given the lower inventory.

Average Price per Square Foot:

We are seeing a similar curve on the price per square foot as the sales price. It’s interesting to note that almost every year the sold to list percentage is pretty close indicating that the homes are usually priced well and are in demand:

South Pasadena	2009	2010	2011
List Price per Sq. Ft.	$489	$461	$455
Sold Price per Sq. Ft.	$478	$460	$450
Sold to List %	96.6%	99.5%	98.5%

Price per sq. ft. is holding steady in mid $400s. Still a bargain compared to the neighboring and school dueling San Marino which averaged $571 in 2011!

All of the statistics gathered from Pasadena Foothill Association.

Are you geeky? Like stats, follow us each month at South Pasadena monthly statistics report.

Pasadena Foreclosure Update: Auction Sales to Investors are Up

Irina — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:30:35 +0000

ForeclosureRadar reports that Real Estate investors started off 2012 with a bang. Sales to Third Parties, typically investors rose significantly in January throughout our coverage area, with the exception of Washington. California saw the most activity, with investors purchasing 3,964 properties for $766.2 million. Note that trustee sale investors must pay in cash, in full, with no title insurance or inspections prior to purchase. This means that investors are buying the properties with potential liens and additional loans against them. This is the fourth largest month on record in California, and the busiest since March of 2011.

Nevada saw the largest month-over-month increase in Foreclosure Sales, with investors there purchasing 973 properties for $99.1 million. This increase, coupled with the dramatic decline in new foreclosures that began in October 2011, is quickly depleting the foreclosure inventory that remains scheduled for sale in Nevada. Year-over-year the number of Nevada properties scheduled for sale has dropped 57.6 percent.

Despite what appears to be significant percentage increases in Foreclosure Starts in California, Nevada and Washington, these increases barely offset the declines seen over the holidays. Compared to January one year ago, Foreclosure Starts are significantly lower now – despite the fact that many banks were still under self-imposed moratoriums due to robo-signing last year.

Let’s take a look at Pasadena foreclosures statistics:

Pasadena Notice of Default Filings:

Notice of Default filings are the first step in the foreclosure process. Notice of Trustee Sale filings set the date and time of an auction, and serve as the homeowner’s final notice before sale.

Pasadena Foreclosure Outcomes:

After the filing of a Notice of Trustee Sale, there are only three possible outcomes. First, the sale can be Cancelled for reasons that include a successful loan modification or short sale, a filing error, or a legal requirement to re-file the notice after extended postponements. Alternatively, if the property is taken to sale, the bank will place the opening bid. If a 3rd party, typically an investor, bids more than the bank’s opening bid, the property will be Sold to 3rd Party; if not, it will go back to the Bank and become part of that bank’s REO inventory.

Note that cancellations have consistently been very high. As seen in the chart above, it takes a very long time for banks to foreclose especially given the robo-signing fiasco.

Pasadena Foreclosure Bids:

The Published Bid is the amount listed in the Notice of Trustee Sale and is typically the balance due at the original date of sale. The Opening Bid is the bank’s starting bid at auction, and is often discounted from the Published Bid. The Winning Bid is the highest bid received at auction and reflects the amount at which the bank or 3rd party purchased the foreclosure.

San Marino Housing Review 2003 to 2011

Irina — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:07:25 +0000

San Marino Housing Report Card

Home Sales – 2003 through 2011

I’ve been providing monthly San Marino Statistics for awhile now. But, at the beginning of each year, time permitting, I try to take a look at historical real estate data to see where the real estate market was and to try to identify some trends to see where it’s heading.

Below, is home sales data for 2003 through 2011 as captured by the Pasadena Foothill Association of Realtors. Every time a house in San Marino is sold, the selling real estate agent is responsible for updating the home sales price, date of sale, type of financing and more to allow for appropriate pricing and trending by realtors and appraisers alike.

San Marino Home Sales Volume:

As you can see the volume of available homes for sale has dropped significantly from 2003. There’s less available inventory, but home buyers, both local and international, are drawn to San Marino due to its prestigious reputation amongst the Chinese buyers and the #1 rated school district that attracts local move-up families.

San Marino Average Sold Prices:

As you can see the prices of homes sold have been on the rise since 2003. We have seen a dip from 2010 to 2011 of almost 8%, but given the surrounding real estate market activity in neighboring cities, San Marino is certainly continues to stay strong and provide a good investment for home owners.

Interestingly enough, San Marino home buyers are feeling so confident that last year 38% of all sales – that is 49 out of 128 homes sold – were purchased for all cash!

We are also not seeing distressed sales partly because the homes in San Marino are holding value and due to the large down payments and all cash purchases of the affluent home buyers who end up holding quite a bit of equity.

San Marino Price Per Square Foot:

The home owners that purchased their homes in 2003 or prior have ended up gaining quite a bit of equity since price per square foot increased from $375 to $571 in 2011. That’s an increase of almost 35%! 2007 saw a high of $611 per square foot and then moved down to $582 in 2008, saw a bit of a bump again to over $600 in 2010 and then settled back down to the high $500s last year.

San Marino homes are selling close to list price on average 2011 saw a 97% ratio. However, there have been quite a few properties that sold significantly over asking with multiple offers.

San Marino is your ultimate micro-market that doesn’t seem to be subjected to the nuances of economy and surrounding real estate market activity.
