Pacific Highlands Ranch in CV
If you go to open houses on the weekend, you've probably heard the agent on duty give you the very standard close, "Do you have any questions?" Next time, hit them with this one. "How long does the Mello-Roos last?" (In PHR, the answer is 40 years, and it can go up 2%...
The Latest in Encinitas Ranch
It was so great to start the tour today with Pete's new listing on the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course whose owners succumbed to the problem at hand. They get hit by golf balls, so provide a barrier and live with it. This is way better than the alternative where potential...
CV Overbid
Carmel Valley has had a real shortage of inventory lately, and from what we can tell from the bidding wars on the creampuffs, there are dozens of buyers in the hunt. This closed for $3,100,000 cash, which was $115,000 over list.
Frenzy Cruise 2024
How do buyers decide how much to pay over the list price? These days, the standard seems to be around +$100,000 over the list price, with a few outliers.

Carmel Valley’s Hot Start
Above are the 2024 listings that have already closed escrow in Carmel Valley - it's very competitive. We're heading into a new era where buyer-agents will be appreciated less than ever, if at all. Consider this - in a bidding war where the sellers listing agent will...
Carlsbad is $2,000,000+
Earlier today we saw how $2,000,000 sure doesn't go as far as it used to. Once you think your home's value is above $1,500,000, it's a quick jump to $2,000,000 - and if you go to sell it, then a net of $2,000,000 sounds even better. Buy any decent coastal house you...
