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.
Nov ’05. the coffee bet! No bet this time.
Pricing will probably change by 10% in the next year…..just not sure if it’s up or down!
Mid-range coastal markets like San Diego and Ventura should see their lower-end pricing go up 10% easily in the next year.
The NSDCC Over-$3,000,000 market today has 287 for sale and 67 pendings, which is great, historically. But by January it will likely be back to 10:1.
Could we have the high-end pricing drop 10%, while the low-end goes up 10%? Absolutely.
All it would take is the fear factor to kick in. Rioting in Kenosha won’t be enough, but if the killing comes to the streets of San Diego and a few homeowners who paid $2,000,000 a few years ago who are listed for $5,000,000 now have to take $4,500,000 to get out, they could do it.
North County Coastal’s gotta be like 30% – 40% above prior peak, right?
The base price for any truly exurban property will continue to rise. Not just demand but they aren’t profitable to build and so aren’t. As you say, north county SD, Moorpark Thousand Oaks Camarillo will see price compression up in the under $800s.
