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.
These are fascinating numbers when you figure the tax credit was in effect last spring. I still think prices have slipped a bit since last year but this data doesn’t seem to show that. It seems like a tug of war is going on between the shadow inventory and the lack of new construction. Right now we seem to have achieved some form of balance at least for the coastal areas with top schools.
In the zip codes I track it seems like the free-fall that started last summer has momentarily abated but we definitely need to keep an eye on inventory.
Is there any conclusion that can be drawn from the fact that price is unchanged but there is an increase in days on market?
