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.

There’s a reason markets are pricing in worst-case scenarios, and it has to do with the Federal Reserve’s messaging as well as monetary policy, PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian said Tuesday.
“The longer they stay unconventional, the deeper they venture with these experimental policies, the more the costs and the risks start to become large relative to the benefits,” he said. “There’s a second really interesting issue, which is, are they giving us too much guidance?”
“When you give so much guidance to the market, you risk over-determining,” he said. “So what happens, people jump to the terminal values. They don’t even wait for the journey. They go immediately to the destination, and the re-price, and then the bad technicals kick in.”
El-Erian also said that he still saw value in bonds, depending on the viewpoint.
