2023
NSDCC Pricing Comeback
Anyone who thought the long slide last year was just the beginning has to be sorely disappointed now. This is the greatest comeback of all-time!
Net Migration
It looks like we had 18% more net migration in the previous period. We need more people leaving, not less. We need to get into the Top 5 here. We can do it - let's go San Diego!...
Fixer Deluxe Gets 18 Offers
I'm going to guess that half of the total NSDCC transactions are estate sales - only because nobody else wants to sell. We're going to see a lot more like this one - no real improvements except for a few windows: LP = $1,300,000 and SP = $1,480,000!

Last April was peak frenzy, and a main contributor was the lack of inventory....and there were 48.2% fewer listings last month? Holy Cow! This is primetime selling season and if there aren't homes for sale now, how much worse will it be the rest of the year? Here's...
Subdued Frenzy
We closed escrow yesterday in La Costa Valley! The seller is a bubbleinfo reader so obviously we have analyzed our results carefully over the last month. We felt that we did everything right in preparing what we thought was a superior home in the tract and utilized an...
