Whether you look at individual sales or market data, we are back to the highest prices ever seen in the hottest areas of town.  I couldn’t get these all on one, but looking at two graphs might be easier anyway.

Carmel Valley, Encinitas, and Carlsbad are approaching new peaks:

San Diego Median Sale Price / sq. ft.
