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.
You got to live somewhere.
Back to the peak. Yet owners are not selling.
How about that? How much of the graph is an effect of median price and a changing mix in the quality of properties sold?
In 2005-2006, anything that vaguely resembled a house would sell. Right now, the high quality stuff sells well and quickly. But the low quality stuff doesn’t sell so well or at all. Hard to compare?
By the by, talking of selling, the property that shall not be mentioned was updated today.
