At the close of a presentation to a large audience of real estate agents today, I was asked to succinctly compare the Manhattan sales market of 2020 to the potential for 2021. Upon reflection, I said that 2021 had the potential to suck less.

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations.

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Cool video…I always wonder what is so great about Carmel Valley. It’s nice, but I can’t see why people prefer a tiny home on a tiny lot for a lot of money…I would buy something in Encinitas.
Jim, there is a house that is so outrageous that you should check out. It’s at the end of Sheridan in Leucadia, near the Nantucket disaster. It’s on a triple lot and takes up the entire thing…I wonder what the story is behind it? If you could figure it out, that would be great. I live around there and was just blown away at it.
haha….we packed the kids up in the car and headed to the beach at noon on Saturday to do a little tsunami watching. It was raining quite a bit, but we weren’t the only lookieloos. I was surprised at all the people out watching the water for something tsunami related.
Re: Carmel Country Highlands clip – I’m not sure why you always make such a big deal about living near power lines. I’ve been living within 50 yards of power lines since 2004 and I’m perfectly fine! By the way, why does it always seem like I’m seeing your videos with double vision??? Is there something wrong with your camera??? And that Blue Angel fly-over at the end of the clip was awesome!

Nobody wants to sit in traffic on the 5 heading north from downtown every afternoon. It gets bad right after Del Mar Heights Rd.

maybe the condo owners can get the HOA to dress up the cell phone tower:

Am I the only one that finds that hilarious? 🙂 Maybe it’s only funny because I haven’t yet watched the video.
New Mexico has it right when it comes to cell towers…it is why every one wants to live there:

Petra, as Jim said in the video it’s more “fear of the unknown” and not really based on facts or evidence. It’s one of those things where perception can be reality when it comes to pricing I guess.
I was out at Torrey Pines State Reserve, and saw the tide go in and out in about 5 minute increments. Pretty underwhelming, but that was our “tsunami”.
I also saw the Manzanita homes back over the summer. Model 4 with the big middle area was nice, but I would have wanted the ones along open space. And I was not about to get into a bidding war during a housing depression.
