From Pasadena Now:

Holy Price Tag, Batman
Pasadena's Stately Wayne Manor on the market for $32 million

By ANDRÉ COLEMAN, MANAGING EDITOR
Published on Thursday, July 16, 2026 | 6:27 am



A historic Pasadena mansion made famous as Bruce Wayne’s Wayne Manor in the 1960s “Batman” television series has returned to the market with a $32 million asking price — roughly 56% higher than the record-setting $20.5 million it sold for just one year ago.

The Tudor Revival estate at 380 S. San Rafael Ave., built in 1928, was listed this week, marking its first public offering since the 1990s. The property’s previous off-market sale in July set a record as the highest price ever paid for a home in Pasadena.

If the estate sells near its asking price, it would shatter its own city record.

[...]

The house was used in other film/TV productions, too:

The main house is roughly 21,000 sq ft and the carriage house adds roughly another 8,000 sq ft. Set on 3.2 acres right in the heart of Buffalo, NY.

Holy 🞵🞵🞵🞵, what a steal! Conversely, who needs a house like that?

Finding a comparable mansion in Toronto it would be worth around $25 Million CAD or around $18M USD, possibly even more.

Probably, though I'm not sure there exists a house that grand in Toronto. Prices of SFHs have declined 24% during the ongoing slump, but are still too high.

Mad scientists and 19th century oil barons are probably the primary market for this.

I love this house, and the neighborhood it's in.

Parts of it totally look like it could be in a film noir.

On the other hand, São Paulo's AA and AAA corporate office vacancy rate dropped to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2026, marking the lowest level recorded in 17 years. On Paulista Avenue is at 3%; Faria Lima Avenue (São Paulo financial center) is at 9%. Here I see some potential.

Is Sao Paulo a buyers market right now, or sellers?
