Condo in Pasadena South Lake Avenue Neighborhood Just Leased 330 South Mentor Avenue Unit 233 Olive Tree Condominium Complex In an area where there are a number of prestigious institutions of learning, blogging can prompt inquiries from a prospective tenant or two looking for housing near one of the campuses in our area.  That wasn’t the case this time but a call from another agent asked if I could help a student find a condo.  I’m happy to assist with finding a real estate opportunity if I am able.   When it comes to leasing in our area, it is quite competitive and not necessarily inexpensive.   While I represent landlords who I know as buyers when they acquired their property, I don’t make working with prospective tenants in their search an active part of my real estate practice.   Th...

How much are property values rising in your area?  I'm hearing insane increases!! I recently shared a Facebook post about the high level of activity in many parts of Los Angeles, that is causing a rapid increase in property values.  I shared that over the past 12 months, property values on average had went up 12-13% in Los Angeles.  They are projected to rise another 10-12% in the next 12 months also.  Low inventory levels and low interest rates are supporting these gains. One of my fellow ActiveRain members shared that he has seen 13-17% gains PER MONTH for consecutive months in some of his areas!! He had stated his concern for such rapid gains causing a collapse, and/or homeowners possibly mis-appropriating use of their equity and/or lines of credit, but I tend to disagree because len...

South Lake Avenue in Pasadena stretches from Colorado Boulevard at its northernmost end and winds all the way through Shoppers Lane before culminating at California Boulevard.  There's no longer a real lake near this 10 block shopping district packed with hundreds of shops, restaurants and offices.  The lake dried up long ago. South Lake Avenue's rich shopping heritage was born in the late 1940s with a department store built to look and feel like a country club.   Bullocks, now Macy's (currently under construction though December 2008) became the foundation of South Lake Avenue's reputation as a cosmopolitan shopping destination.  More department stores followed, making the area one of Pasadena's finest shopping districts. Today, antique English phone booths complete the district's Euro...
