I have been saying all along that the entry level houses in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Cardiff under 800K are the ones to go for, especially with 4% interest, just cannot beat the “replacement value of land cost/structure on that deal in that area. I think you need to adjust your chart to 1 million as the minimum or at least 900K. Folks, its just a matter of time before nothing and I mean nothing is gonna be under 1 million in that area, I give it less than 5 years. One reason, the cost of new homes and building, gov fee’s and the slowdown that will occur in new home building which will further reduce supply, demand for the NCC will always be there, especially with the great schools. Anything under 1 million, not backing on a freeway, SFR, with some kind of a yard and 2 car garage at 4% with a min 5year hold is the best buy you can get out there, especially Encinitas/Cardiff

The coming regulations on urban interface housing is going to make new houses rarer and more expensive.

Jim, what’s the issue with 3594 Granite Ct in Carlsbad around the corner from me? Down to $875k from $950k several months back.

Merry Christmas to all!
