April felt busy though we had no new listings (the La Costa Valley listing hit on March 31st). Thankfully, there are more to come:

Carlsbad Modern Sold Again!
This closed for $1,300,000 in April, 2019, and then sold again this week for $2,270,000 - almost a million more in just four years! https://www.compass.com/app/listing/3312-james-drive-carlsbad-ca-92008/1267594068434581625
More Behind the Scenes
I like to promote my listings at the local broker meetings, just in case someone might have a buyer. It would be really beneficial if the big agents attended these meetings and participate like they do in La Jolla - the camaraderie alone is worth it. Then the open...
Del Mar Mid-Century Modern
For those who want their own personal pickleball court, this would have been ideal:
Encinitas Modern

Demand is Different Everywhere

More Creampuff
I had to input my new listing onto the MLS before noon yesterday to get on the broker-preview tour today, which was a day before the professional photos were completed. We had done a few preliminary photos for marketing purposes so I used those to get started, but...
Auberge 55+
If you don't want to leave San Diego, and you'd like to downsize into a newer one-story that isn't too big that's centrally-located in a gated senior community where the residents are younger and have plenty of activities - including a vibrant pickleball community -...
