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.
New construction home supply is almost triple that of existing home supply as those who own a home stay married to their lower rates. (or more accurately they are priced in)
The overall US home inventory has risen notably in the past few months while still less than half that of what was for sale in 2008 when the US had a population of around 304 million….today the population has jumped to almost 342 million (+12.5%).
I was curious about move-ins/move-outs between SD metro and cities in other states where I have family. Seattle and Chicago were virtually a wash with approximately the same number of people moving both to and from the SD area. We just exchanged bodies.
Phoenix (as proxy for AZ in general) surprised me with 908 coming to SD from there, but 1518 moved from SD to Phoenix! I can’t imagine doing that unless it all happened between October and April. Moving to Phoenix at this time of year doesn’t seem desirable – unless you’re an HVAC specialist!
Yes, in the fine print it said the data was from April, 2024.
Anyone who moves there during summer just tunrs around and comes right back!
The better comparison is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventura_County,_California versus just the City of San Buena Ventura (that you link above). SD Metro population 3.2m. Ventura County 0.83m.
Regardless. There’s a lot of shuffling in the biotech industry. I suspect that explains a good portion of the SF/SD/VenCo/Bos exchanges.
I honestly don’t understand moving out of SD to Riverside/Los Angeles/Orange counties.
The lack of SD to VenCo probably has more to do with the severe lack of supply in Ventura County.
