Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We sold a home with Jim and Donna and from beginning to end they were consummate professionals. Their initial walk through the property resulted in a list of items to be repaired or updated. They supplied a list of vendors and job quotes to do the repairs and updates. We originally wanted to sell ‘as is’ and just get it over with. They gave us a selling price for ‘as is’ and options for doing a few updates/repairs to doing it all with the selling price for each option. We agreed to do all they suggested and we sold for the exact price they predicted. For every dollar spent we got back more than $2 back in the selling price. And they got that price in a rising interest rate environment! Donna and Jim are extremely detailed and guide you through ever aspect of the sale. There were no surprises thanks to their guidance. We couldn’t be more pleased with their representation. Thank you Donna and Jim, Jerry and MaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WeI had the pleasure of working with Klinge Realty Group to sell our home in Carmel Valley, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Jim and Donna demonstrated exceptional professionalism, offering expert guidance on market conditions and pricing strategy, which resulted in a quick and successful sale. Communication was prompt and we were well-informed throughout the entire process. For anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate team, look no further! ---Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim Klinge of Klinge Realty Group have our highest possible recommendation. From Donna and Jim’s first visit to our house through closing their advice and counsel was candid and honest in all dealings. They kept us fully informed throughout the process. The house sold less than three days after listing with a two-week closing. My wife and I have sold several houses during our lives. This was by far the best experience. Klinge Reality is a premium service realtor. You can’t make a better choice for someone to sell your home fast and for top dollar.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Donna and Jim provided exceptional support and professionalism throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been happier with their efforts. They made our house shine, and thanks to their expertise, it sold above the listing price in the very first weekend! Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This year has been difficult on our family, mainly due to having to sell our home. Thankfully we knew God had a plan for us and working with the Klinge team was a key part of it. It was an obvious decision to work with them again after such an amazing experience when purchasing the same home we needed to sell. The challenge was, how will we do this in so little time with so much going on? Jim and Donna held our hand every step of the way. Whenever an unexpected issue arose they found and provided a solution. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision and the Klinges were always reassuring after providing the information that the decision was ours to make. Despite the curve balls, they never panicked and exemplified the “can do” attitude, making us feel optimistic and taken care of. Their expertise and professionalism was superb. But of all the reasons to work with the Klinges, the most impactful and valuable is their compassion and genuine care for their clients. We pray that we can one day purchase our forever home and you better believe that Jim and Donna will be representing us - as long as they will have us of course. Thank you again Klinge team! Your execution, experience, and care are unmatched.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim and Donna were fantastic! Jim understanding my needs, recommending potential places, pointing out the pros and cons of each property was invaluable. Then when the offer was accepted Donna’s organized guidance through the inspections, paperwork etc made the whole process seem effortless. So grateful that I had them on my side!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first found Jim through his blog at bubbleinfo.com, which really showcased his knowledge of SoCal real estate. Since then we've done three transactions with Jim and Donna, and they are an incredible full service agency, with Jim's deep market insight and Donna's deft contract and project management. We trust them implicitly in their analysis and strategy, which is based on years of experience. They're always available and on top of things, and we strongly recommend them to anyone.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Good The Klinge Realty Group operates like a finely tuned machine, with a very personal touch. We contacted them on a Sunday and they were talking to us about our family and our needs on our living room couch the following day. They carefully listened to us and worked with us to identify the best and quickest path to listing within 2 weeks to take advantage of the low inventory conditions in our South Carlsbad neighborhood. They knew our tract specifically and had many previous sales there over the years - they came prepared with a thorough analysis of comparative sales and recommended a pricing strategy that they felt confident would yield offers the first weekend on the market. The Great Over the next two weeks Donna coordinated a range of vendors who she knew from experience could get the preparation to list work we needed done on time and with high quality. Our light tune-up involved excellent experiences with their stagers, landscapers, contractors, electricians, and plumbers. Throughout this period Donna's daily communication was clear, concise, and responsive. Any time we had questions Donna picked up the phone or texted immediately - but almost always, she answered our questions before we even knew we had them. The Outstanding We had a tricky situation with a shared fence that could have delayed our escrow. Donna used superb mediation skills to negotiate the terms of replacement and was personally on site with the fence contractor to make sure everything went smoothly. The fence looks great and escrow closed on time. The Truly Exceptional Our house came on the market on a Wednesday and between then and Monday morning Jim was personally at all three open houses. He was in constant communication explaining potential buyer reaction and strength. As he predicted offers began to come in on Saturday and each one was incrementally higher than the last. At the end we had 5 offers, 4 of which were over list, and the final accepted offer was $100,000 over list. In addition to being over list it included rent back terms that met our needs. The Recommendation For all of these reasons we would strongly recommend The Klinge Team to anyone wanting to sell in North County Coastal San Diego. I had been reading Jim's bubbleinfo.com blog for 15 years and knew when the time came to sell that he would be our first call. Jim Klinge is not your standard realtor. He is keenly aware of market conditions and sales strategies. And, works his tail off - though not as hard as Donna . At this point he's gone from realtor to friend and I plan to have him over to grill and chill at our new place to talk real estate, but also just about life and raising kids in San Diego. He's more interested in relationships than his sales numbers - and that's why his sales numbers are so high. We have already recommended the Klinge's to some close friends and another successful sale is on deck right around the corner...Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had the pleasure of working with Jim and Donna from Klinge Realty Group to sell our house, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the initial meeting, they listened attentively to our needs and provided invaluable guidance on specific improvements to get our home market ready. Their responsiveness throughout the entire process was truly impressive. Anytime we had questions or concerns, they were quick to address them, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. What stood out the most was their team and extensive network of tradespeople, which made addressing any necessary repairs or updates seamless and stress-free. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, our house sold quickly and at a great price. We highly recommend Jim and Donna to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are a fantastic team who truly care about their clients and deliver exceptional results.Load more
Wow, that’s scary. Can someone explain to me why prices aren’t lower and people are fighting over the REOs?
Thanks goodness Carlsbad has all the dedicated “Open Space” or it would be completely covered! Someday the Carlsbad Golf Course will have one of these markers over it! It will resell for .25 cents on the $.
Blue skies, green shoots and red letter opportunities for everyone.
JK, I’ll give it a shot:
1. The seemingly-high number is not obvious because the vast majority are not on the open market, and unless you go hunting for a map like this, you’d never know.
2. Many are part of the loan-mod experiment.
3. It may not have a big impact on market(?)
There have been 804 SFRs close this year in those same zips, so the demand has been pretty high. If all of the auction/REOs are dripped out over the next six months, it’ll add 44 per month.
It will be tough on the regular sellers though; the ones who are dreaming about full retail. Hopefully they’ll decide not to sell, and we’ll just battle it out between REOs and short sales.

Good advise!
I meant advice. Duh!
Looks like I just need to listen to what I tell my kids…
Patience, Grasshopper, patience.
The map makes it look worse than it is because the dots are so big.
Add in the condos, and we have 668 defaulted properties (including NODs).
According to city-data for these zips, the population is 101,301 and the number of housing units with a mortgage is 18,485.
668 divided by 18,485 = 3.6% of housing units with a mortgage are in default.
The map makes it look like about half.
Hi Jim , any stats on on how many total are at least 90 days + delinquent in same zip codes?
Deadbeats, the days of free rent are numbered.
I’d like to see a map of the same areas showing 2005 instances, for a visual comparison.
In 2005, basically nobody was ever late on their payment. If they lost their job or otherwise couldn’t pay, they could simply refinance because the value of their property had gone up since they bought it.
Jim, the data you’ve culled from all the various sources to put this map together is great information, if not fantastic! I don’t know any other realtor who has the technical expertise, knowledge, experience, and capability to do this. Thanks a million for providing such a service without parallel!
I’ve noticed that for the highly desirable neighborhoods in the better school districts the foreclosure activity seems to have little effect on prices. There are still too few regular sales of quality product in these areas to make much of a difference. And, the trickle of trustee sales snapped up on the court house steps so far have been flipped quickly at retail prices.
What does all this mean to every working stiff?
Are you sure this map wasn’t taken from a dart board.
Jim,
BAC is starting to drop assets again, received 3 in the last week. Time to get bust again.
Typo– meant busy not bust.
Now if we could just get rid of all that blue stuff on the left…… we would really see some big price drops. Spread a rumor it is contaminated by San Onofre Nuc plant maybe? Swine flu?
What does all this mean to every working stiff?
I was going to delete this post after figuring they only add up to 3.6% of the total housing stock with mortgages, but didn’t.
The sheer numbers are what’s important – with 660+ defaulters, it could be in the near future that we see REOs coming on the MLS every day, then a few per day in the e NSD County Coastal region
I still think if that happens it would energize the buyers because they all want to steal one from the bank. But if there were 3-5 REO per day coming on the market, it would likely freeze up out of dis-belief.
Watch out below the high-end is getting absolutely creamed. Short sale approved at close to the 2000 price if you figure in landscaping.

Though it’s not a popular stance, I actually feel sorry for Ms. Brown. She was trying to do a good deed, and from what I understand, she wasn’t doing it for the money, but rather because she wanted to help people (hearsay — don’t know this for a fact).
My husband has been in that house and said it was really spectacular. Some of the doors were imported and were hundreds (thousands?) of years old. Very interesting stuff, and I understand her desire to take them with her. I think the problem with what she did is that she took them after she was foreclosed on. Poor decision on her part.
Taking a bathroom mirror or a wall fixture is one thing. But A MILLION DOLLARS of fixtures?!? That’s more than the price of most homes in the SD area!
That lady better “find” the stuff pretty fast.
Just another jerk move from another Deadbeat. Would you expect anything less?
CA renter,
Let me ask you a couple of questions…
Why would she build a drug treatment center in a residential neighborhood?
Why not build a drug treatment center in an isolated location where addicts can’t call their friends to “score” more drugs?
Why do drug addicts need massive 100 year old doors?
To me this just seems like another pipe dream cooked up by someone given access to more $$$ than they should have ever had. These are the kind of stupid ideas banks pass up on a daily basis when people apply for business loans.
Question? Do some people purposely go into default in order to qualify for the loan modification?
—-
BTW, love your blog. It’s a shame ya know. I saved my money, ran my business, ran my life, etc. without knowing that such things as “short sales”, non-recourse loans, government bailouts, and loan modifications could possibly even exist on the scale they are now. I mean really, who’d of thought? Who’d of thought that you could borrow money from a bank then if your house value goes down you can dump the house and not be responsible for the loan. Sure, your credit rating may suffer but nobody is coming after you. Who’d of thought that you can twist the arm of the bank to lower your payment/interest/principal. Who’d of thought that the BORROWERS are the ones feeling swindled by unscrupulous mortgage brokers?
I’m left thinking that all this suffering is well-deserved. Sorry to be so mean but that’s the way I see it. Deadbeats suck.
@ lady brown house: 15 Bedrooms wow! not bad for 2,3m. The price offers quite a discount compared to the 13m in BUILDING COST. Should be a nice buy for someone with a clever businessidea, imho (do I miss something here?) …
regards, KBX
I gotta think the Carmel Valley map looks similar.
Gee. Can you make the bubbles any bigger on the map to distort and skew the results anymore?
Question? Do some people purposely go into default in order to qualify for the loan modification?
I have a coworker who makes >$100k and did just that. He stopped making payments in January. He can easily afford his mortgage and has had no adverse change to his income since he bought in 2004. He doesn’t intend on making any payments until they lower the principle and interest rate…
It’s criminal that this is socially acceptable.

Not any more, apparently. The government is **encouraging** the deadbeats to do this!
Those who tried to do the right thing are the suckers now. 🙁
————–
BTW, I’m not condoning theft, and think everyone who destroys forclosed/foreclosing houses should be punished. But again, moral hazard… If the govt isn’t prosecuting the scum who are taking their pergraniteel kitchens, then Suzy Brown would naturally feel entitled to take the very rare artifacts she used in building the house. It’s entirely possible she actually bought these things with her own money, as opposed to the deadbeats who got 100% loans and HELOC’ed the rest for their kitchens.
Again, not condoning it, but with what the govt is doing, where does one draw the line between right and wrong? That is the problem that will haunt us for many years to come, IMHO.
Chris G–Well put I can understand your feelings. What I can’t understand is that some who feel the same was as you think that they have somehow been vicitimzed.
Funny most of them are still unaffordable. I randomly picked a few and looked at est values at the foreclosure tab. Some are running as high as 290/sqft!!! It’s even higher than retail.
Jim what do u think?
LocalBoy,
They may feel victimized because they are going to be the ones who share the taxes in the end. Or maybe they feel regret for not leveraging up and buying a McMansion like everyone else. Or maybe they are motivated by a perverse sense of justice and are offended that it’s not being carried out.
Do I, myself, feel victimized? I’m numb.
I am sure I can find a way to be a victim too–but I don’t, I choose just to move forward with the information that I have today, not dwelling on the past. The problem is this- victimization leads to unhappiness and anger which in-turn leads to violence–Too many vicitms today–people should get over it and move-on.
Housing prices always have been and always will be set at the margins. The small percentages of homes that sell every year create the market value for all similar homes in an area regardless of whether those homes are on the market, so dismissing this distress data b/c it’s only 3.6% of the number of homes in the zip code is a mistake, IMO.
Distressed properties as a percentage of recent sales or homes on the market is a much better indicator.
Local Boy – I have been victimized. If they were actually foreclosing on all the deadbeats in my area who haven’t paid a dime in 6 months, home prices would be $100,000 lower.
The banks’ policies of modifications and debt forgiveness mean that I will be paying more for a home than I should. I’ve already spent the last decade working extra jobs, paying off all my debts, living cheap in a crappy apartment while accumulating a down payment. Now I will have to pay a much higher price specifically because of banks coddling irresponsible people. If someone was directly costing you such a huge amount of money, you wouldn’t want to “get over it” either.
Very true, Hibryd.
The responsible people who tried to live within their means and didn’t take on debt they couldn’t pay back are the only victims in this whole quagmire.
Us victims can only write our congressmen, vote, etc. That’s all one can do. I agree that feeling victimized for doing the right things in life is doubly painful. Moving on.
