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 709 E Walnut Street 214 — down $120,000, from $1,099,000 to $979,000, listed by Pinnacle Real Estate Group.
25 listings changed status: 10 sold, 9 active under contract, 4 pending, 2 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
25 homes came to market, asking from $499,000 to $3,400,000.
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.
