Does this house seem kind of expensive to you?

13. Looks like the house my uncle bought in that same area for $35K in 1995.

Probably the same developer, but in Temple City instead of So. Pasadena.
Nice remodel job. Hope it was also properly renovated and retro-fitted; those WWII/post-war developments are pretty much at the end of their "lifespan", and there's a lot of expensive work that needs to be done to the foundations, plumbing, and electrical to keep them going another 50+ years.
One of our old neighbor passed last year and the houses around here were from a 1952 development; the "flipper" did a real nice job making the house look great (rather like the one in the ad) for sale eight months ago, but the new owners are already complaining about cracks in the brand new tile and drywall, a couple of the old outlets need to be replaced, the bathtub plumbing "just rotted out and sprung a leak" (sure, sure...liquid weld can only hold so long on those galvanized pipes) and he now needs to decide if he wants to replace the old galvanized plumbing for newer copper...
Oh, and the foundation isn't straight (the land around here is old fill), it seems to be sinking on one side - where the old carpeting was replaced by the new tile throughout...
Heck, we watched them flip it. The only major renovation they did was replace the roof, because they added a skylight and blew out the wall between the front room and the kitchen/kitchenette, add a slab patio in the back, and improve the sucky porch that was there before...everything else was cosmetic.
No foundation work, no electricians, no plumbers under the house; the only plumber they had in was to "update the bathrooms and kitchen".
