The Altadena row covers homes listed with a Pasadena address in Altadena, an unincorporated community just north of the city.A neighborhood appears when it had at least 8 closings of a property type from August through October 2026. The charts and the full table further down show every neighborhood row.Rows follow the city on each listing, so a few homes with a Pasadena mailing address just outside city limits may be included.

Coverage: Closed sales of single-family homes, condos, and townhouses with a Pasadena, CA address. Latest window August through October 2026, compared with May through July 2026.

Source: Closed residential MLS sales. TurboHome analysis.

Rows retained: Neighborhood and ZIP rows need at least 8 closings in the latest window. An asterisk marks a $/sqft row with fewer than 8 closings in the earlier window. ZIP rows combine all property types.

List-price measure: The average percentage each sale closed above or below its final list price. Sales that closed at less than half or more than double their list price are left out as likely data errors. This measures negotiation, not appreciation.

$/sqft: Median closed price per square foot of living area in each window. Values below $50 or above $5,000 per square foot are left out.

Days on market: Days on market as reported on each listing, grouped into under 14, 14 to 30, and more than 30 days. Sales without a days-on-market value are left out of those shares.

Data timing: Data pulled November 2, 2026. Sales that closed near the end of the window may still be posting, so the latest counts can rise slightly.

Important: Data is informational, has not been independently verified, and may differ from other reports because of cutoff dates, cleaning rules, or neighborhood definitions.
