Let’s dive into the Pasadena real estate market for October 2026. Last month, buyers closed on fifty-six homes in Pasadena. Of those, twenty-nine sold above the asking price, four at asking price, and twenty-three sold below the list price. A five-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 966 Worcester Ave. sold for $549.59 per square foot. Meanwhile, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 780 Laguna Road sold for $1771.22 per square foot.
The least expensive home sold in Pasadena was a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,107-square-foot house at 1911 N. Summit, which sold for the listing price of $700,000 and took nearly 3 months. The most expensive home sold was a three-bedroom, five-bathroom, 3,556-square-foot home located at 1001 Stoneridge Drive. This property was listed for $4,995,000 and sold before going on the MLS for $5,490,000.
October brought a noticeable increase in Pasadena home sales. Buyers closed escrow on 56 properties, up from 45 in September. As a result, sales activity improved as the year wound down. Additionally, homes sold faster. Average days on market dropped from 54 days in September to just 38 days in October. This represents the lowest days-on-market figure since May.
More importantly, sellers continued to receive competitive offers. Pasadena homes sold for an average of 103% of their asking price. This indicates that well-priced and desirable properties continue to attract serious buyers.
For sellers, October’s numbers show that buyers remain active. However, pricing remains critical. Homes that are properly priced, well-presented, and marketed effectively have a better opportunity to attract strong offers. For buyers, competition remains a factor. Nevertheless, opportunities exist depending on the property’s condition, location, and asking price.
