New in the Ranch

Brand new single story in the heart of the village – this property used to be part of the Inn. This sold for $4,250,000 after 450 days on the market (with no price reductions). The listing agent ‘refreshed’ the listing after 421 days and then it sold right away.

$15,000,000 Extravaganza

One of my favorite Compass agents went all out today to promote her new $15,000,000 listing – the MLS remarks:

If these walls could talk, they would speak of the fact that this estate was built by a US ambassador to Italy as a summer home for he and his family with many materials imported from Italy. They’d mention the famous houseguests, upscale fundraisers and political gatherings that have taken place here. Upon driving down the private road to the estate’s gate, you’ll be transported to Tuscany from the moment you pull in. Unlike anything else in the upscale town of Rancho Santa Fe, this home’s historic architecture is met with modern features from a head-to-toe renovation over the last two years.

Zillow Local Forecasts

The Zillow 1-Year Forecasted Values are down 1-2 points from their previous guesses last month, but still very strong. This is their third consecutive month with similar forecasts:

For those who are steeped in real estate history, it’s hard to comprehend how prices could increase 25% to 30% this year – to think pricing could go up ANOTHER 20% next year is straining the brain!

I think it will happen, and be accomplished by mid-summer.
