The week in Pasadena
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Pasadena, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Pasadena file →The largest reduction on the desk was 380 S Orange Grove Boulevard 12 — down $251,000, from $2,150,000 to $1,899,000, listed by Coldwell Banker Realty.
25 listings changed status: 11 active under contract, 7 sold, 6 pending, 1 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
25 homes came to market, asking from $500,000 to $9,680,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
