What These Numbers Mean for Pasadena Buyers and Sellers
Pasadena's housing market currently reads as competitive on the buyer-versus-seller balance, and the numbers in the Housing Market Trends module above tell a nuanced story. With a median sale price of $1,250,000 and an average sale-to-list ratio of 103.93%, sellers are still commanding pricing power: 54.2% of homes closed above their asking price, and 33.0% went off the market within two weeks. Those indicators point to sustained demand for well-positioned listings. At the same time, 3.6 months of supply and 298 active listings sit closer to a balanced range than to an outright seller's market, and 19.5% of listings have recorded a price cut.
For a buyer, that split matters. Turnkey homes priced correctly are moving fast and drawing offers over list, so competitive terms are needed there. But the meaningful share of price reductions signals room to negotiate on listings that have lingered past the 34-day median, where a data-supported offer below asking is realistic. For a seller, the message is precision: overpricing invites the price-drop cycle that 19.5% of sellers are now navigating, while accurate initial pricing captures the above-list momentum.
Month-to-month figures show 83 homes sold against 123 new listings and 100 pending sales, a throughput that rewards agents who understand micro-market timing. With 1,141 licensed agents operating in Pasadena, outcomes vary widely by who represents you, which is exactly why a verified, performance-ranked shortlist changes the equation for both buyers and sellers reading these same conditions differently.

What to Look for in a Pasadena Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition or a familiar sign in the yard often overlooks what actually determines your result: measured transaction history and negotiation outcomes. EffectiveAgents ranks 90 agents in Pasadena based on verified performance across 1,016 analyzed transactions. At the top of that analysis is Ken Parsons at Keller Williams Pasadena, with 1,074 career transactions, 148 client reviews, and $977.0M in all-time sales volume. In a market where 54.2% of homes close above list, negotiation skill translates directly into dollars, whether that means structuring a winning offer in fast-moving areas like North Arroyo and South Arroyo or securing concessions on a lingering listing in West Central. An agent who knows how pricing behaves block by block across these neighborhoods positions clients for the sale-to-list outcomes the data reflects. When reviewing candidates, look past a single glowing testimonial and study review patterns over time: consistency across dozens of transactions is a far more reliable signal than volume alone.
How We Rank Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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.

Pasadena Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Pasadena, CA?
The top-ranked real estate agent in Pasadena, CA, based on EffectiveAgents analysis is Ken Parsons at Keller Williams Pasadena, with 1,074 career transactions, 148 client reviews, and $977.0M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using verified transaction data rather than advertising or self-reported claims, evaluating 1,016 analyzed transactions across 1,141 licensed local agents. The best fit depends on your property type and neighborhood, so we recommend comparing several verified, performance-ranked agents before selecting representation.
How were these Pasadena 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 Pasadena?
Our data covers 1,141 real estate agents serving the Pasadena area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Pasadena market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Pasadena mean for sellers?
Pasadena's median sale price is $1,250,000 as of May 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 Pasadena?
Homes in Pasadena currently take a median of 34 days to sell, though that timeline has seen a -3 days change year over year. Actual time to sale depends heavily on pricing accuracy, condition, and location: turnkey listings priced to market often move within two weeks (33.0% of homes do), while properties needing work or priced above comparable sales tend to sit longer and account for much of the 19.5% of listings that record a price reduction. Correct initial pricing remains the single largest factor in a faster close.
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 Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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 Pasadena realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Pasadena 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.
