Last month (November 2016) the most expensive luxury home sale in Pasadena was 1315 S. Oakland Ave. This stunning Craftsman closed escrow for $4,199,000. It was listed previously with the same agent for about five months for $4,580,000. The sellers purchased the home in 1972 for $57,500. Who says real estate is not a good investment?
