Dramatic Drop in Local Housing Inventory

From KPCC’s morning radio show “Take Two”… “It was a buyer’s market: low prices, low interest rates, desperate sellers. But talk with just about anyone wandering around open houses each Sunday and you’ll hear a different refrain: What happened?! Prices here jumped more than 23 percent last month… and foreclosure filings dropped a stunning 77 percent… All of a sudden finding a house to buy isn’t so easy. Chris Thornberg, an economist and founding partner of Beacon Economics, is here to explain.” (Click link for story and 7 minute radio clip).

FYI Quick Read…

A tight real estate market means the return of bidding wars in certain neighborhoods. Today on MSN, Donna Fuscaldo offers some tips: “To compete in a bidding war, buyers need to prepare financially for the home purchase. They have to be familiar with property values in their target neighborhoods. And they must know what they want.” Solid advice, for sure. But first, find yourself a good realtor. Working at no charge to buyers, a licensed agent will guide you step-by-step and connect you to the home you want. For more info, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.

Mid Century Ranch Home in Prime San Gabriel

List Price $549,000

3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

1,515 sf • 6,264 sf lot

We see a bit of a bargain here, a 1956 Ranch-style home on a nice street in one of our favorite under-the-radar neighborhoods: North San Gabriel. Pasadena and San Marino are only blocks away.

There are wood floors, a handsome fireplace, and sliding glass doors to a flat and spacious back yard. The lines on these Ranch homes are wonderful, providing excellent flow and a good use of space.

The house needs work, but at this price it’s well worth it. “Finished” homes of similar size in the area sell for considerably more — and quickly. Get this one while it lasts by contacting Tracy Do Real Estate.
