Tracy’s Micro Market Report for Friday

Pasadena, CA:

Constant readers know I am the King of Eagle Rock, but my real estate license is good in the state of California, and I have sold a lot of real estate all over Northeast Los Angeles and the western end of the San Gabriel Valley including Altadena and Pasadena in my 18 years as a Realtor.

Last week, I co-listed a terrific property at 3150 San Pasqual Street, Pasadena, for $1,875,000. We priced this to sell, not to market. We had 121 Realtors attend the Broker’s Caravan last Thursday and 112 people attended the public open house last Sunday. We were given an excellent offer and after a bit of negotiation came to a mutually acceptable agreement by the end of the open house.

Wow, this sounds like the activity of the good old days, doesn’t it? Here’s the deal: we had sellers who wanted to sell, buyers who wanted to buy, and everyone eventually was satisfied with the price. A number of people whined about how quickly it sold although they admitted that they knew it was a good deal. They had been lulled by the current expectation that all houses take a while to sell and didn’t act quickly enough.
