A big community gathering is exciting for our sleepy little beach town, and the protests planned for this weekend are likely to draw a crowd. Here’s how merchants are preparing:

Another spin around the rapidly developing downtown Carlsbad area……where everything is $900,000 and up now! Two or three more years of this and long-time locals won’t recognize it!

The first flip we’ve seen since the ‘rona hit. This listed for $899,000 on March 25th, and sold for $950,000:

Once things cool down, this is what it’s like (above).
But the open-house extravaganza starts tomorrow at noon, and I like my chances!
It’s been shown four times by agents already, and a fifth couple rolled up when I was there today. Though they have an agent, I spent 30 minutes with them in hopes it might be the right fit.
We have everything going in our favor, and so far no one has complained about the price. For those paying attention, this extra height makes a big difference:
I know what you might be thinking.
“Jim, your condo listing looks like a quality buy……but I need a big joint!”
“How much would it cost me to get a large contemporary where I can walk out my backdoor and stick my toes in the sand? And maybe pick up an inflatable raft for cheap?”
$9,200,000 – take a look:
Homes on Carlsbad Blvd. north of Tamarack are at street level and those residents are looking through car windows to see the ocean – and it’s a sliver, relatively, compared the view from our listing. Our building is 25 feet above the street, and set back another 20 feet so any road noise is manageable. You barely see the cars passing by, and out of sight is out of mind.
Check out our new listing at 111 Sequoia in Carlsbad! Enjoy spectacular ocean views from this highly-upgraded single-level home with no stairs! New kitchen, new baths, new flooring, new paint – just bring your toothbrush and enjoy the sunsets. Lie-down ocean view from master bedroom. This has south-facing windows for plenty of natural light too – a fantastic opportunity to live at the beach!
111 Sequoia Ave., Unit C, Carlsbad
2 br/2 ba, 1,478sf
LP = $1,295,000
Open house 12-3pm Saturday & Sunday, March 7th and 8th.
