California E&S Insurance

How Will the Eaton Fire Impact Pasadena’s Surviving Houses Real Estate Market? With the recent Eaton Fire, I’m wondering how this might impact real estate values in Pasadena surviving homes. Even before the fire, we were planning to sell our house within 3 to 4 years and move abroad to spend time with parents. But with everything that’s happened, we’re reassessing our options. We’re located about a mile away from the fire zone. I know that insurance challenges could make it harder for potential buyers to secure a mortgage, but at the same time, the fire has reduced housing supply, which could drive demand for existing homes, where Pasadena was already in demand. I'm guessing a good portion of affected homeowners might take the insurance payout and choose not to rebuild. We’re open to selling sooner—possibly as early as this summer—if the market conditions look right. Renting it out is also an option since there’s demand, but I know being a landlord in California comes with its own set of challenges. Would love to hear thoughts from others—how do you think this fire will impact home values in Pasadena? Do you see prices rising due to lower supply, or will insurance difficulties outweigh demand plus the fear of future wildfires? When is the best time to sell — 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years from now?
