The entry-level homes have kept, or exceeded their value from the frenzy. Generally speaking, it takes $2,000,000 or more to buy a decent house between La Jolla and Carlsbad today. What about higher up? It was at the peak of the frenzy in early 2022 that three homes...
Hat tip to just some guy!
The 'Villages of La Costa' was the name given to the development of four large areas of south Carlsbad. La Costa Valley (bottom left) was graded and model homes being built when this photo was taken. La Costa Oaks South is the green patch to the right, La Costa Ridge...
Scroll over the second graph to see how far we've come: BTW in March, 2010, the 30-yr fixed rate was 4.95%.
This location is ideal because it's right at the end of Carlsbad Village Drive and the closest you can get to the village. There have been three houses sell on this street for more than $10,000,000 - shouldn't a brand-new house sell for close to that? Build three here!
Zillow has every reason to be the nation's real estate cheerleader since they derive the bulk of their income from realtors. They had been predicting 3% to 6% appreciation locally this year....at least up until two weeks ago. Something has changed: Carlsbad NW - 92008...

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...
City officials hosted a community meeting on Saturday for the public to weigh in on three design concepts for Robertson Ranch Park. “A Walk Through 3 Parks” took place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 10 at the Carlsbad Faraday Administration Center at 1635 Faraday...
Tim Wrisley took over for his mom as the purveyor of Carlsbad, and he has carried the burden quite nicely with his Carlsbad Magazine. No matter who you know, he probably knows them AND somebody else from the old days at Carlsbad High School. In fact, it would have...
