A Pasadena real estate report comparing the San Gabriel Valley markets for April 2012 and April 2013 shows an increase in homes sold.
A Pasadena real estate report comparing April 2013 to April 2012 is now available.

That’s lower than March’s jump of 37.9 percent over the previous year but still a healthy gain.
Pasadena real estate: By the numbers
In San Gabriel Valley, home sales prices increased 14.4 percent for the month of April between 2012 and 2013. That’s a spike even from March’s numbers, which indicated a 13.3 percent jump.San Marino saw the biggest increases, with prices going up an average of 37.9 percent over April 2012. In March 2013, San Marino had 50 percent fewer sales than the previous year, but in April we saw 50 percent more sales, breaking the city out of that trend. Although the number of listings are down, the trends are looking positive for San Marino.
South Pasadena saw a jump of 35 percent in prices, and it’s the only area in San Gabriel Valley real estate to show no change in the number of listings between April 2012 and April 2013. Its sales are down 4.5 percent, however.
Northwest Pasadena, however, saw a decline of 21.4 percent in prices. While this area saw its number of home sales double, it also had significantly fewer home listings than in April 2012, so the statistics are a mixed bag.
It’s important to bear in mind that these numbers reflect only a one-month period, as compared to the same one-month period of the previous year, a limited picture of our markets. We’ll know more once we can compare the entire spring season this year against spring 2012.
