Positives Or Negatives?

Ok, I’m breathing again now that 150+ people came to my first open house on Moorhen Place.

The market/buyers have seemed cautious and conservative so far in 2025, and it’s incredible how they insist on looking for any reason NOT to buy. The only problem is that the perfect homes start at $10 million, so just about everyone is going to have to live with something. P.S. Buyers need to come to grips with the fact that the entry level for decent homes in Carlsbad is now $2,000,000.

Encinitas Single Story

by | Oct 23, 2024 | 1-story, Encinitas

In February, these sellers bought our listing in Aviara Point for $3,365,000. They moved, then just sold this beach-close newer one-story with killer garage. They made out good too:

Bought 10/17/22 for $2,900,000

Sold 10/22/24 for $3,500,000

Big Ocean View

We saw a similar opportunity with big ocean view in Solana Beach sell for just over list at $5,000,000, so this 3 br/2 ba, 1,845sf house built in 1976 on a 10,100sf lot still looks attractive even with paying $3,025,000, a premium of $230,000 over the list price of $2,795,000.

I have finally given up my trusty Google Pixel phone and this is my first full video with the iphone15. This might take a while to get the editing down!

Leucadia Casual

A mini-ranch in Leucadia just sold for a little over the list price. Calling this a four bedroom is a stretch, but it had enough funky-cool to be an eclectic dream home for someone. Another all-cash buy too.
