Many years ago, we purchased a home in Carlsbad, using a realtor that was recommended to us - Jim Klinge. Fast forward to 2025, we recently had the privilege of selling 2 homes in Carlsbad, CA and didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim and Donna Klinge of Klinge Realty Group to guide us through the sales. The transactions were very different, each with its own unique situation, opportunities and challenges. From start to finish, Donna and Jim helped navigate the pre-sale preparation, the listing, showing of the house, buyer negotiations, the final close and all of the paperwork and decisions in between. What stands out with both transactions is the professionalism of Jim and Donna (and their team), wonderful communication (timely, relevant, concise), their deep understanding of market dynamics (setting realistic expectations), their access to top-notch contractors, and last, their ability to guide us across the finish line successfully. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jim and Donna in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North San Diego County.
It’s no fun to be a buyer now. Everywhere you look there are tons of short sales with multiple lenders that have slim to no chance of agreeing on anything. Even if you do happen to land a deal, you still have to worry about the other shoe waiting to drop with all of the shadow inventory just sitting out there.
Shouldn’t it take a couple of months for the moratorium effect to wear off?
I see NODs conitnuing to trickle in and I see foreclosure dates being scheduled on the NODs from January. Haven’t seen any foreclosure dates from February yet.
I hate banks! Leeches on society.
I think the big flood will be this fall.
