i’ve been saving up for a few years for a house, didnt fall for the subprime 0-down interest loan bull-crap.

your blog is definitely educational and helpful for me to find out what are the key factors to consider whether a property is a bargain or just another WTF u-gotta-be-kidding-me “deal”. thx for the great work!

i’ve noticed that you guys are always commenting about how this house is overpriced or this seller is out of his/her mind… what about featuring some transactions that are actually reasonable or make sense? or perhaps you haven’t done so because they just don’t exist?

Do you have any information for the bank-owned condo at 307 E Duarte Rd? I saw this condo every morning when I drove my son to school.

Thank you for the tips! We will be working hard the next couple of weeks to implement these ideas. It seems like covering more of the SGV cities will be a big plus for everyone.

Great blog. I’d echo cat’s comments. Maybe cover a bit of Temple City and San Marino occasionally? Also, what would be great is an general affordability picture overall for Arcadia every few weeks or so. Just so we can see the trends over time.

I’m glad all of you enjoy this blog. We did not expect so many fellow Arcadians and SGV’ers to find our site!

I grew up in South Arcadia in the fifties and sixties, with a couple of years spent in Alhambra. I still think Arcadia is one of the prettiest areas of the San Gabriel valley, and I have always thought that the San Gabriel valley is head and shoulders above that “other valley”.

I am really pleased to read this blog, as it keeps me informed about real estate in my hometown.

Thanks

This blog is great. I was hoping that someone would start a blog for Arcadia while visiting the more popular irvinehousingblog and then I found this.
I think this should be a place for people who are interested in the Arcadia real estate to get educated, share information and give suggestions. I hope this won’t become a totally bear biased blog.
Great work!

picpoule,

Good idea. Although I’m not sure how this data can be easily or quickly collected, I’ll look into it and see what we come up with.
