KW Pasadena January 2026 Market Performance: Leading Growth in a Shifting Market

As the Southern California real estate market adjusted at the start of 2026, Keller Williams Pasadena demonstrated measurable growth across key performance indicators, outperforming both local competitors and broader MLS trends.

Using January 2026 data compared against December 2025 and year-over-year benchmarks, the results show a clear pattern: agents supported by strong systems, leadership, and culture continue to win market share—even in changing conditions.

Listings Taken: Strong Momentum at the Start of the Year

Listings taken are one of the clearest indicators of future market strength. In January 2026:

  • KW Pasadena listings taken volume increased 344.79% month-over-month, significantly outperforming:

    • CRMLS overall (+75.18%)

    • Local cities (+89.89%)

  • Listings taken units increased 166.67% month-over-month, again exceeding:

    • CRMLS (+63.50%)

    • Local cities (+84.17%)

While year-over-year comparisons showed declines across the broader market, KW Pasadena posted a +23.94% year-over-year increase in listings taken volume, signaling sustained growth where others contracted.

Contracts Written: Outperforming the Market on the List Side

January also showed notable gains in contracts written on the list side:

  • KW Pasadena list-side contract volume increased 98.59% month-over-month

  • List-side contract units increased 33.33%

In contrast:

  • Local cities showed slight declines

  • CRMLS growth remained far more modest

This gap highlights the advantage of proactive listing strategies, pricing guidance, and agent support during periods of market recalibration.

Closed Production: Growth Where It Matters Most

Closed production reflects execution, not just activity. Over the most recent 12-month period:

  • KW Pasadena sell-side closed volume increased 17.75%

  • Local cities grew 8.09%

  • CRMLS overall grew only 1.85%

Even more telling, when comparing December 2025 to January 2026:

  • CRMLS total closed volume declined 27.78%

  • Local cities declined 31.14%

  • KW Pasadena increased total closed volume by 34.50%

This divergence underscores the importance of operational consistency, accountability, and agent readiness.

What This Means for Pasadena Buyers, Sellers, and Agents

For clients, these results indicate a brokerage actively winning listings, navigating negotiations effectively, and closing transactions despite market headwinds.

For agents, the data reinforces a core truth of real estate performance: market conditions matter—but systems, training, and culture matter more.

KW Pasadena’s January performance reflects:

  • Disciplined listing strategies

  • Strong agent collaboration

  • Local market expertise

  • Leadership focused on long-term growth, not short-term noise

Looking Ahead

January 2026 set the tone for the year ahead. While market conditions will continue to evolve, KW Pasadena enters the year with momentum, clarity, and measurable results.

In real estate, consistency wins—and the data shows where that consistency lives.
