The global situation in 2026 is too large to tackle, so let's discuss what's happening on our peninsula, in our towns, and in our backyards. The real estate market experienced a few rumbles of its own, with buyers pushing the pause button and sellers facing more days on market than expected. It was a year of changing market conditions. There are currently 84 single-family homes for sale on the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula. 33 single-family homes are in escrow with accepted offers, and 551 single-family homes were sold on the Palos Verdes Peninsula during 2025.  Those numbers reflect PV real estate conditions that still favor sellers, but buyers have more negotiating power than in recent years. Homes are still selling, but not as quickly, and prices remain strong. The most expensive 2025 sale on "The Hill" was a residence in Palos Verdes Estates that sold for over $12,000,000. Only five [...]

What Should I Expect From My Real Estate Agent?

A complete marketing plan involves much more than a sign in the front yard.   Those last century real estate marketing expectations of sticking a sign in the ground, posting a few photos on the Multiple Listing Service, and holding an open house or two, do not suffice in the digital marketing age.  A savvy agent will still make those old school marketing moves for her clients. Also, her marketing repertoire must include a social media blitz, and videos featuring the best assets of a seller's property. The agent should have a website page dedicated to the property, and last but not least, a visible presence on the multitude of real estate sites such as Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and other sites buyers visit when they start their home hunting quest. Likewise, today's smart sellers are inclined to consult real estate sites when they are ready to sell and [...]

875 S Madison Ave, Pasadena, CA–House History and Listing Info

By |2021-07-20T16:59:06-07:00June 27th, 2015|875 S Madison Ave, Listings, Luxury Homes, Pasadena CA, Pasadena Luxury Homes|

Let's delve into the genealogy of this gracious Madison Heights residence located at 875 S Madison Ave., Pasadena, CA.  The residence provided shelter for some prominent Pasadena families. This grand dame (I don't want to appear biased but I always think of homes in the feminine gender) celebrated her 100th birthday in 2014 with most of her original architectural design still in tact. The kitchen and bathrooms have undergone some updates and a terrace was enclosed during the past 100 years, but the rest of the home received minimal changes to the original plan other than some cosmetic improvements. This amazing feat can be attributed to the timeless design and classic beauty that is still appreciated by today's home buying clientele. Built in 1914 for the Merryman family, the property remained in the family until 1947 when it was purchased by Joanna Huntington.  The residence was purchased by the current owner [...]
