Selling a Home in Arcadia


Arcadia sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, home to Santa Anita Park, the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Westfield Santa Anita, with a Metro A Line station downtown. For more than 25 years, homeowners have trusted Jay Romero to get them the most for their property, and he brings that same focus to every Arcadia sale.

The Selling Process With Jay

  1. Price: A list price built from nearby sales, condition and current buyer demand, not guesswork.
  2. Prep and staging: Jay gives you a short, practical list of fixes and staging ideas that pay off.
  3. Marketing: Professional photos, a strong online listing and outreach to active buyers and agents.
  4. Offers: You see the full picture of each offer, and Jay pushes for the best terms.
  5. Wrap up: Jay follows through until the keys change hands and the sale is final.

Know Your Arcadia Market

The city mixes postwar ranch homes, large estate lots in the Highlands and Santa Anita Oaks, newer custom homes and condos south of Huntington Drive. Buyers here often focus on lot size, newer construction or rebuild potential and the location north or south of Foothill Boulevard.

Local Prep and Pricing Advice

Large lots in Arcadia can be worth more for the land than the existing home, so know your zoning and lot dimensions. Jay prices both the home as it stands and the land value buyers may see.

Common Questions About Selling in Arcadia

Should I renovate or sell my older Arcadia home as it is?
It depends on the lot. On large lots, many buyers plan to rebuild, so heavy upgrades may not pay off. Jay compares both paths so you can decide before spending money.

How do you decide on my list price?
Jay reviews recent comparable sales, active competition and your home features, then explains the reasoning so you can decide.

Can I sell my Arcadia home and buy another?
Many sellers do both. Jay helps coordinate both sides so your sale and purchase line up.
