Del Mar Heights has always been a sexy option – the access to beach/freeway/UCSD is excellent, and two of the best elementary schools in the county are a short walk. Like in other areas, the inventory has dried up, so when this one hit the market, it created a tsunami of interest.  Look at the number of views & saves:

They ended up with 42 offers!

Talk about perfect timing!  The day after the bidding concluded on the home above, this estate sale hit the market, and about half of the disappointed group ran over here to make an offer:

They received at least 19 offers!

We can expect both to be in the March double-digit-over-list group at 15% to 20% above.

If three-quarters of those unsuccessful buyers throw their hands up and decide to sit this out for a while, there will still be several competitors frothing at the mouth for the next one – even at $1,500,000+.
