Pasadena CA Real Estate - Irina Netchaev

Today, was one of sunny Pasadena mornings that is really difficult to fathom for anyone living on the East Coast given that we hit the highs of mid 80s on January 2nd. But, this is what makes Pasadena so special and the Rose Parade, one of the most beautiful parades to attend.

Here are just a few photos to highlight today's 123rd Tournament of Roses Parade. If you'd like to see more, please visit - PasadenaViews for more.

Don't forget that you can view the floats after the parade at Victory Park. You can see all the floats immediately after the Parade from 1 pm until 5 pm and then again on January 3rd from 7 am until 5 pm. Please note that 7 am to 9 am is for special viewing needs admissions only. All regular admissions are from 9 am until 5 pm. Price is $10 per person. Please refer to parking instructions and directions to Victory Park at the official Tournament of Roses site here. READ MORE: Pasadena Rose Parade Float Viewing

September market statistics are out and it looks like Pasadena's inventory is slowly ticking up from the lows of August where we saw a drop to only 251 active properties compared to 321 in July.

We are still seeing many cash buyers and definitely some micro-markets in certain neighborhoods and architectural styles.

Spectacular! What an absolutely spectacular estate perched at the top of Shenandoah in the hills of San Marino! Built in 1926 and designed by one of the great architects of the 20th century, Roland Coate, this San Marino gem is something to behold. Reminiscent of the stately manors and country houses found in Nantucket Connecticut or New York, this is one grand dames that will retain its charm for many years to come.

It's really one of the loveliest homes I've seen in awhile and it can be yours for $7,530,000.
