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.
The median sales price was 10% higher, but the median $$/sf was only up 6%. There were more of the higher-end homes selling.
Did you ever find a place for that poster?
There are bigger houses and then there are those stupid ’90s-’00s with wasted space that look like 4000sf but have no more practical space than more traditional 2500sf layouts. Those two story oval “grand entrances” don’t have room for more than a potted palm.

Not yet, and we lost another this week to a cash buyer who paid full price for a 1980 original that needed a $250,000 remodel minimum.
A remodeled home 100 yards away closed for $125,000 less last month.
