Many years ago, we purchased a home in Carlsbad, using a realtor that was recommended to us - Jim Klinge. Fast forward to 2025, we recently had the privilege of selling 2 homes in Carlsbad, CA and didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim and Donna Klinge of Klinge Realty Group to guide us through the sales. The transactions were very different, each with its own unique situation, opportunities and challenges. From start to finish, Donna and Jim helped navigate the pre-sale preparation, the listing, showing of the house, buyer negotiations, the final close and all of the paperwork and decisions in between. What stands out with both transactions is the professionalism of Jim and Donna (and their team), wonderful communication (timely, relevant, concise), their deep understanding of market dynamics (setting realistic expectations), their access to top-notch contractors, and last, their ability to guide us across the finish line successfully. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jim and Donna in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North San Diego County.
The national, 30-year fixed-mortgage rate (FRM) slightly decreased from a week earlier, setting a new record low average of 4.26%, according to the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace weekly update. This is down 0.03% from last week and 0.02% below the previous record low.
Regionally, 30-year rates vary, but the majority of states witnessed a deflation. Most large states saw a decline in rates: California’s current rate of 4.28% is down from 4.3% last week; Texas’ at 4.23% is down from 4.28%, and Massachusetts’ at 4.26% is down from 4.27%.
How is it that the price per square foot number for Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe are almost the same? Is this just a one month deal?
If you don’t mind the ad in the beginning, and how more videos keep playing at the end, here’s a look at the mansion Tiger is building.

The RSF statistics have been coming down all year, but it is a small sample group. But sales are few, only the best values are going to move.
Here is a comparison of active detached listings:
92067 – 279 listings avg. $690/sf
92024 – 178 listings avg. $521/sf
Nine sales last month when there are 279 choices?
I’m also noticing more cancellations – as you predicted, Jim.
I wonder what others think is causing the drop in PPSF in RSF, especially in relationship to the rise in PPSF in Del Mar.
any oceanside data?
Do you have the data for 92037 (La Jolla)?
I’ll come back to both of those.
The MLS deleted 92037 yesterday, for some reason. It is back in play today.
I’d like to see Oceanside too, if you find the time.
