In February there were 22 lots that sold in 91001. The average cost per square foot was $57.70 while the median was $61.06. The lowest priced was $420k and most expensive was $885k. But there are MANY variables that will affect cost, and square footage won't necessarily have a direct correlation to price. As always, the location of each specific lot will dictate the sale price. Primarily, costs are driven by how much the area still feels like a "neighborhood." Are there, in fact any neighbors left? Are there trees still standing? How buildable is the lot? Is the particular lot going to require any special assessment such as burying power lines? Is the lot easily accessible for heavy equipment? Depending on the answers to these questions a vacant lot will either command a premium, or be negatively impacted in terms of sale price. The best strategy to purchase something is to talk with an agent that is from the area and truly understands the building process to sort it all out.

Hey Guys, here's something that might be interesting for someone who doesn't want to continue with the stress of rebuilding, but still wants to live in the community. It needs some work but by Altadena standards, this is affordable as heck.

Not all sales are easy. This property had difficult tenants who didn't want to leave. After they left, the property was broken into and vandalized. After having spent a significant amount of money to repair it, the seller didn't accept the first and best offer we received just in case we received a better one. We didn't. When we finally accepted an offer, the appraiser was from out of the area and gave a bogus lowball appraisal. Only after challenging the appraisal did we finally crossed the finish line.

A great agent has the experience to stick with you through the ups AND the downs. He understands negotiation, and has the resources to keep working for you until the end.

Just for perspective:

There are currently 37 "land" listings on the market and 22 "regular" listings. Combined this comes to 59 active listings in the zip code. This number has absolutely dwarfed the typical number of active listings in the Altadena.

Land listings have been hovering just above or below 40. There seems to be enough demand for now that prices are holding and potentially increasing. However, there isn't enough data yet to identify trends.

42 burned out lots have sold since Jan 8th and there are 36 more under contract.

Even though we all wish we could easily rebuild, the reality is, rebuilding will be tough. These guys asked me to help sell their lot so that they could move forward with their lives in a more permanent location, in a contracted timeframe.
Listed for $479,000 and opened escrow 1 week later. There were multiple offers, and the price was well above ask.

In other words, it's mostly in our heads.
