We have known Jim & Donna Klinge for over a dozen years, having met them in Carlsbad where our children went to the same school. As long time North County residents, it was a no- brainer for us to have the Klinges be our eyes and ears for San Diego real estate in general and North County in particular. As my military career caused our family to move all over the country and overseas to Asia, Europe and the Pacific, we trusted Jim and Donna to help keep our house in Carlsbad rented with reliable and respectful tenants for over 10 years.
Naturally, when the time came to sell our beloved Carlsbad home to pursue a rural lifestyle in retirement out of California, we could think of no better team to represent us than Jim and Donna. They immediately went to work to update our house built in 2004 to current-day standards and trends — in 2 short months they transformed it into a literal modern-day masterpiece. We trusted their judgement implicitly and followed 100% of their recommended changes. When our house finally came on the market, there was a blizzard of serious interest, we had multiple offers by the third day and it sold in just 5 days after a frenzied bidding war for 20% above our asking price! The investment we made in upgrades recommended by Jim and Donna yielded a 4-fold return, in the process setting a new high water mark for a house sold in our community.
In our view, there are no better real estate professionals in all of San Diego than Jim and Donna Klinge. Buying or selling, you must run and beg Jim and Donna Klinge to represent you! Our family will never forget Jim, Donna, and their whole team at Compass — we are forever grateful to them.
Excellent data. Thank you
What on earth happened in zip 92009 during April 2009 that caused the inventory of properties listed for sale to suddenly drop so dramatically?
What is the Market Action index? I don’t like drawing conclusions from things that I don’t even know what they are.
What’s up with Oceanside having a way longer DOM for the lowest quintile? That seems odd.

Could it be that’s when Sandicor added the “contingent” status?
I didn’t know Encinitas was so expensive?
Jim,
good format and data. Thanks for sharing.
Jordan T – you are correct in your response to househippie’s question.
It’s when the MLS created the contingent category and all the short sales with buyers awaiting lender approval got taken out of the active listing bin.
Jim–I question their figures–It looked fishy to me that the Average DOM for 92009 was 133. As of today, the MLS shows 122 active detached listings in 92009 for an Average DOM of 74 days–I know that info was for the week of 9/14, but it seems impossible to decrease that much!
I love the granular data – awesome!
LOL, I’m in the Encinitas bottom 4th quartile, flatlined at approx $334/sq ft at 11% loss from the peak. Coming this winter we are going to tank as expected; however, I’m not confident SP will bounce back up in Spring given the number of REO around the corner. But, if the lower end market in Oceanside is still strong, then Encinitas can enjoy a 2 – 2.5X premium – generally speaking.
Is there one available for Vista? 92081
92014 feels left out in the cold.
Nice data though!
Does Encinitas data include Leucadia or Cardiff as well?
cara and local boy – agreed that the DOM is fishy, even with condos added in. I’ll check more.
I’m paying for the stats by zip code, so I went with the larger areas. Del Mar, Solana, etc. are too small to have solid, non-noisy data.
I also noticed the DOM for oceanside was weird. seems like the lower quintile should have less and the higher quintile should have more, but the graph shows the opposite. Maybe the real dumps in the worst areas are actually sitting there longer? I wouldn’t think so based on Jim’s coverage of the flippers in oside.
