It’s not really oceanfront with a 4-lane road in front, but it’s close. You have the traffic-controlled crosswalk at the corner for easy access to the staircase down to the sand (that the City of Carlsbad is spending $14 million to repair and replace). It’s close enough!
3820-B Carlsbad Blvd., Carlsbad
2 br/2 ba, 861sf
YB: 1970
LP = $1,199,000. Now pending!
I took over this listing from another agent who is an old friend. He had taken the listing at $1,299,000, and he had an ideal oceanview photo displayed prominently. I first thought – is this one of the units in front with big ocean/sunset view? What is a deal!
But it turns out that it is the apartment in back, down under the staircases:
Oh great…but it’s nothing that price won’t fix! If we just go a little lower we will be the cheapest beach property for sale…..and if one of those desert buyers comes to town determined to get out of the heat, then we’re golden. It’s the perfect time of year to be on the market!
Get Good Help!
And yes, the minute the file got turned in, the new process began. Do you have all the forms? Do you have the right forms? Did you get the right forms from the other side? Did the buyer-agent have a buyer-broker agreement to show the home?
The August 17th NAR Settlement Jubilee is underway, and it’s all about paperwork compliance for the administrators. It was the same during Covid. We just needed paperwork signed that said people didn’t think they had Covid. Nobody ever verified an actual covid test – it was just a paperwork shuffle.
Those of us on the front lines will keep doing the selling, and we’ll get the proper signatures, don’t worry.
Padres be charging.
Don’t put yourself out depersonalizing that condo. 😉
I can just hear the young couple that buys this reminiscing 30 years from now. “Remember our first home? Small, near the beach and can you believe… only $1.2m.”
