Looking at all of the new construction projects in town you would never guess that Pasadena real estate is experiencing a slow down. If you have made the decision to purchase a condominium or townhome then take your seat front and center. The catbird seat. You have many options these days. No matter what you are looking for in terms of amenities or pricing, chances are it is available, and less expensive than it was six months ago. Prices have come down from their listing highs. Based upon the recent rate of sale we may see further reductions.
