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.

Great chart Jim. If Case-Shiller had international data I bet we would see something similar as well, indicating a global phenomenon. I doubt it’s all Bay Area expats fanning out around the globe and driving prices up, which is the explanation I have heard so much of regarding San Diego. There is something much bigger going on.
How many more superlatives can we use to describe the meteoric increase in sales prices and bidding wars of 2021? We could see more of this in 2022. Given this it would seem to be a great time to sell. Sell into a bidding war environment where all contingencies are being waived? How does it get any better than that as a seller? Of course you have to have somewhere to go and therein lies the rub….
250?!? Start charging early/premium admission fees. 😉
