StoneBridge Estates
Home buyers who prefer the I-15 corridor are taking a close look at StoneBridge Estates, at the east end of Scripps Ranch. There is a common dilemma - do you buy one of the brand-new houses now, and spend the extra $50,000 to $100,000 on the exterior.......or wait...

La Costa Oaks Wrap-Up
The final build-out of La Costa Oaks in SE Carlsbad is underway. The Copperwood tract, which is up and over the ridge with some ocean views, enjoyed great success in the $800,000 to $1,200,000 range. These two new tracts are on the backside of the same hill, where...
