Where is this long, lonely stretch of pavement?
Four tickets to Friday night’s Padres’ game to the first person to identify this location!
Hint: I’ll be there today from 1-4pm.
You’ve seen those wimpy solar lights hanging on for-sale signs lately? They’re not for me – my signs are done with reflective paint, they glow in the dark!
Here’s a link to the youtube video tour:

There are power lines, but no Ice Cream Truck – that narrows it down.
Hmm, you only have 2 listings that aren’t pending or sold. So I’m guessing San Diego condo.
Trick question, because it’s a new listing not on my website yet. It might take a local who recognizes the street/trees.
Hint: It has nice ocean views, and LP is $1,699,000.
550 Hygeia

Encinitas, Ca 92024
“It might take a local who recognizes the street/trees.”
Sigh, I’m only semi-loco (local), lol.
2nd wild guess…
608 Chinquapin Ave Carlsbad CA 92008
It has to be in Solana or DM, as that would be the Caravan open house times.
669 Glenmont, Solana Beach, CA 92075
Previously sold for $636,500 in July, 1998
I think Todd’s the winner. This looks like Leucadia West of 5.
Alvin is the winner!
Remodeled 327 Glenmont is the same size with less view, and it just went pending, listed for $1,778,000. But there have only been six close over $1,500,000 in Solana Beach this year (four of those in May).
The speed limit sign next to the mailbox and Cacti in the front, all under powerlines were the keys to victory!
Alvin – how can I get you the tickets? Are you around Solana Beach this afternoon 🙂
I think I can be… Should I stop by your open house between 1 and 4, or is that just for brokers?
Wow… 61 minutes… Either this one was really easy or this board has some impressive members.
Jim,
I think you should do a video of the house(s) on Glenmont or the one up the street in the Beachaus community. Solana Beach is a hidden gem.
Alvin,
Come on by, mine are always open to the public.
“reflective paint, they glow in the dark”!…CLASSIC!
Am I late with my $636,500 bid?
I will give you 425k for it.
Jim had to pay more to get the extra-reflective eye balls, really get the attention of oncoming traffic. =)
Hi Jim,
I tihnk the better question is “Who is that SEXY MAN on the SIGN?!!!”
🙂
Hey, guess what…on a personal note, I just leased a house in Solana Beach. I’m finally moving down there July 1! Hasn’t it been like a year since I was in your office?!
Also, I’m TOTALLY overbidding Rob Dawg. I’ll go $636,501. Just to account for inflation since 1998. 😉

Welcome to SoCal Erica Douglass, Solana Beach is really a nice area. And something about the vision of JtR having “extra-reflective eye balls” is a tad disturbing. Just my opinion.
Solana Beach is great. I had an office near the beach for a few years.
A little OT here, but are there height, angle (presentation), placement requirements for a Realtor sign? There is a sign near me that is under 5′ high, because it is tilted towards the ground. The Realtor name, his picture and number are being hidden from view because of the bushes are blocking that part of the sign. This house is a short sale – something just looks fishy.
At that price, you do know you’re competing with no-view condos across the street from a strip mall, right?
Any guesses which sells first?
W.C.,
Clint Eastwood’s son rents next door to that one, so I’ll call it even odds on who sells first.
Clint Eastwood’s son? That’s gotta be worth $300K on the appraisal. But can you get your tax assessment lowered if he moves out?
You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya punk?”
Neighbor at 452 Canyon is coming up on his 1 year anniversary in a couple weeks. You should send him a bottle of champagne to commemorate it… especially if you’re pending by then.
Here’s the house on video tour:

That is a very, very nice house. And if all that needs to be fixed up is the upstairs bathroom, then all the better.
Jim, don’t hesitate to show us more of those beauties! A lot of us do like to dream a bit of what we could have some day.
Come on Jim, listing quotes “Panoramic Ocean View” Your starting to sound like all the other realtors.
Nice, but the 1998 price was more than I’d pay.
TJ, you’re harsh.
I thought I was the ultimate permabear, and I’d jump on that 1998 price.
I’m not seeing much decline in pricing in either Encinitas or Solana Beach. So if you’re beach city bargain hunting, right now, you need to focus on the “bubble development areas” like 92009 in Carlsbad or “less desirable” addresses like Oceanside. As for Del Mar, Solana Beach, La Jolla–forget about it!
But I think it may hit Encinitas soon; some pretty interesting high-end homes going on the courthouse steps lately. (I personally don’t watch the sales in Solana Beach, Del Mar or La Jolla, so I can’t comment as to any possible changes there.)
Nice house, nice yard, good location. Good Luck, Jim! But with this kind of home, you probably won’t need it. I bet it’ll be sold before the end of summer.
