What These Numbers Mean for Altadena Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a median sale price of $1,576,457 and a median of 41 days on market, and reading those figures together with the competitive indicators tells a more complete story than either does alone. With 46.1% of homes selling above asking and an average sale-to-list ratio of 102.80%, sellers in Altadena still command meaningful pricing power, and the 14.1% share of listings leaving the market within two weeks confirms that well-positioned homes move quickly. At the same time, 18.1% of active listings have recorded a price reduction, a signal that overreaching list prices are being corrected rather than rewarded.
The balance point sits with 2.3 months of supply against 58 active listings, 75 new listings, and 71 pending sales in the latest month. That is tight enough to keep negotiating leverage on the seller side for accurately priced, move-in-ready homes, yet loose enough that buyers can find room on properties that have lingered past the 41-day median. For a buyer, the practical takeaway is to compete firmly on the freshest inventory in 91001 and 91003 but to lean on the price-drop data when a listing ages. For a seller, the 18.1% reduction rate is the caution: price to the comparables from day one rather than testing a premium and chasing the market down.
With 756 licensed agents operating locally, outcomes vary widely by representation, which is where verified performance data matters.

What to Look for in a Altadena Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually moves a transaction: measured negotiation results and depth of local experience. EffectiveAgents ranks 67 agents in Altadena out of 756 licensed locally, using verified transaction and review data rather than advertising spend. The top-ranked agent, Ken Parsons at Keller Williams Pasadena, has closed 1,075 transactions and $978.3M in all-time sales volume, a track record that matters in a market where 46.1% of homes sell above list. That kind of negotiation history is directly relevant when representing a buyer competing for the freshest inventory in 91001 or advising a seller in 91003 on how to price against the 18.1% share of listings that have already cut. Experience across both zip codes helps an agent read which submarkets support a firm ask and which reward patience. When comparing candidates, look past a single glowing testimonial and study review patterns over time: consistency across dozens of closings, like the 148 reviews behind the top-ranked agent, signals repeatable performance rather than a favorable one-off.
How We Rank Altadena Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Altadena market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Altadena Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Altadena, CA?
The top-ranked agent in Altadena, CA on EffectiveAgents is Ken Parsons at Keller Williams Pasadena, with 1,075 career transactions, 148 reviews, and $978.3M in all-time sales volume. Rather than relying on advertising, EffectiveAgents analyzes verified transaction records, closing outcomes, and review history across the 756 licensed agents in the area to identify 67 ranked performers. The best agent for you depends on your price range and target zip codes, so compare several ranked candidates against your specific goals before deciding.
How were these Altadena real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Altadena?
Our data covers 756 real estate agents serving the Altadena area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Altadena market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Altadena mean for sellers?
Altadena's median sale price is $1,576,457 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Altadena?
The median home in Altadena sells in about 41 days, though that figure reflects the middle of a wide range. Year over year, time on market registered a -1 day change, so timelines are running differently than they did last season. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes still sell fast, with 14.1% of listings going off the market within two weeks. Pricing accuracy, condition, and the 18.1% share of listings taking reductions all influence how quickly a specific property attracts an offer.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Altadena realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Altadena agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Altadena neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Altadena realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Altadena in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
