Here’s the one thing 99% of agents won’t say out loud:
Zillow has ZERO clue what your Pasadena home is actually worth.
That Zestimate? It’s blind.
It can’t see your brand-new roof, your private boat lift, your finished basement with the wet bar, or the fact your neighbor just sold for **$75K over asking** and reset comps for the entire street.
And in Pasadena – especially in water-privileged communities like Lake Shore, Magothy Manor, Venice on the Bay, Riviera Beach, Green Haven, Chesterfield, and Bayside Beach – home values can swing **$50K–$150K (or more) from one block to the next.
Adam Chubbuck – retired Navy veteran, current military spouse, and the #1 agent for Pasadena home sales – isn’t guessing. He’s tracking every sale, every pending, and every off-market deal in real time.
🚨 Why Zillow’s Zestimate Is Costing Pasadena Homeowners Thousands
Zillow doesn’t know:
– Your pier just got rebuilt with Trex decking
– Your bulkhead is brand-new (most aren’t)
– You have a 10,000 lb boat lift (huge value add)
– Your home has water views the comps don’t
– Your neighbor’s house (that Zillow used as a comp) had mold in the crawl space
– Your street just got fiber internet just installed
These aren’t small details.
In Pasadena’s water-access and waterfront neighborhoods, they’re worth **tens of thousands**.
📊 Real 2025 Pasadena Home Value Trends (Block-by-Block Truth)
Here’s what Adam is seeing right now (December 2025):
– **Lake Shore water-privileged homes** with piers: routinely selling **$100K–$200K above Zestimate**
– **Green Haven updated ranchers** (no HOA): crushing tax assessments by **$80K+**
– **Riviera Beach renovated colon1als**: flying **$75K–$125K over asking**
– **Chesterfield townhomes** with garages: inventory under 48 hours, **$40K–$60K over list**
– **Venice on the Bay / Long Point waterfront**: new street records monthly
One block has a community beach → add $75K–$150K
One street over has no water access → values drop fast
That’s Pasadena. That’s why a robot in California can’t price your house.
