This home was designated as a historical property in 2019 and there is a recorded document that says any exterior or landscape modifications must be approved by the City of San Diego. The torrey pine tree in the front yard was planted shortly after construction in 1971, and is part of the historical designation.
The buyer thought enough of it that they paid over list!
Here’s the description by the city: Recuerdo historical findings

We suggest a variety of home improvements to help our sellers achieve a top-dollar sale. When it comes time to select the right slabs for kitchen counters, you only get one shot….and it better work!
It’s amazing how resilient the local market has been, and how willing buyers are to paying over the list price.
I don’t have any evidence to suggest that the transparency has improved (most listing agents refuse to say anything about existing offers, if any) and usually there aren’t any recent sales to indicate that today’s listings are underpriced.
Yet in late-2023, buyers were still willing to pay substantially above list! Here are a few examples:
This is the tenth sale in the last month that closed $100,000+ over their list price!
It’s going to be a wild spring selling season!
I produced 166 YouTube videos on my main channel this year, and these were the best, as decided by me. All had to have 200+ views to qualify:
This is just another grandma house blowing out at $125,000 over list, which isn’t remarkable. But this is the only video ever in which I slipped and fell down:
Some of my best thoughts about the market, long-term:
The Frenzy Cruise was hot all year and a good indicator that buyers will keep paying over list price for a home they really want. It’s just a matter of how much over:
Daughter Natalie had the time of her life touring football stadiums in America with Karol G this summer:
She will be dancing in the Grand Finale with Jordin Sparks but will also be featutred with other performers during the parade, starting at 8am Monday!
This is one of the best values we’ve seen all year if you don’t mind having more than two acres. See the whole Bubbleinfo TV collection here:
This is what a surge in listings looks like.
We won’t see a hundred new listings hit the market in one day….it will be two here, three there, four over here, etc. and pretty soon the buyers will think about stepping back to see where it might go.
This may be the only time we ever tour a house at this price point!
The highest-priced La Jolla residential sale ever was $24,700,000 (8466 El Paseo Grande) in 2020.
Now there are three for sale in the $30,000,000s!
I wonder how many realtors can say they have been producing 1-2 real estate YouTube videos per week since 2006? Mine don’t go viral because I try to keep them educational in nature.
It reminds me of the time when two Hollywood big-shots called me to discuss a TV show. They wanted to send writers down to fabricate some entertaining story lines. But when I told them I was only interested in keeping it educational, they said they would get back to me.
I’m still waiting for their call!
Thanks for watching – I appreciate you being here!
