After the Eaton fire tore through Altadena last month, residents of the historically Black Los Angeles neighborhood – many of whom had purchased their homes decades earlier – began putting up signs declaring: “Altadena is not for sale.”
However, it appears that the first burned-down property put up for sale is in escrow, just more than a week after the fire reached containment. The sale is expected to close Friday, says Brock Harris, a real estate agent, who adds that he’s received “lots of calls from people also looking to sell”.
