Five examples of what’s cooking in Carmel Valley – the one I sold on Abalone closed in July, 2007, and the 3,622sf house for $1.23 backs to Del Mar Heights Rd, but is well-appointed:
When parts of the video get a little choppy, you know that editing was required to stay under the 10-minute maximum – I squeezed almost two minutes out of this one! Thank you listing agents for allowing me to demonstrate the market activity.

Baby poop yellow
A friend of the family once referred to that color as “baby shit brindle”. Still cracks me up.
Please, Jim…10 and 2 when driving in front of a high school.
(love the videos, especially the interior tours!)
The first house had two freeways, a train track somewhere, and probably the jets flying above as well. Geez. The second house had carpet in the bathroom-lovely.
Maybe it’s not how much noise you hear that matters, but how much noise you see. The house with the Detroit River was still far enough from it that it might not bother prospective buyers. But the other house with the four lane street was right against it, with no buffer zone whatsoever aside from the really ugly pool.
More like WTF Valley.

Do they sell new carpet smell in a can similar to the new car smell?
I call it POWER LINE VALLEY
I bought a house in RSF for around the same price. About the same sqft, and 2 acres to boot. Why would anyone wanna live tract for $1.2M?
Group think my friend group think.
Whats the monthly payment on a million + HOA etc (assuming 10% dp)? 6-7K?
I second the ‘WTF? valley’ comment.
Jeeman, 3 years ago people were paying 2M+ to live in a tract home. BTW, congrats on scoring what sounds like a great deal in RSF.
Thank you, pemeliza. We found some sellers who were extremely motivated. Thanks to Piggington, we waited from 2004 until 2009, and were able to get a house in the covenant, when we were looking in Carmel Valley just a year ago. I just can’t understand throwing down 7 figures to live in arm’s reach of someone else.
If those homes in CV were $600k, we’d have moved there instead of RSF, but not for $1.2M.
Jeeman – Do you recall what the RSF golf club transfer fee is these days when you buy in the Covenant? Considering buying out there later this year. it was raised to $35k if I recall but that was pre-bubble.
I got some info in the mail, but I didn’t read it. I’ll look later tonight. But if I remember what the realtor told me, it was $49k for lifetime golfing, or $900/year for 12 tee-offs for 2 people in one year.
Jeeman – On further thought your number of about $50k seems spot on. Thanks.
Enjoy hearing people get into the ranch at realistic prices as it is very nice living out there for the right person.
clearfund,
I am curious about why this property is not selling. Take a look (using your favorite RE listing website) at 4836 La Granada. I would think that @ $1.29M, this would fly off the MLS.
