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...
Carlsbad
Estate on the ‘front
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...

Carlsbad Going Upscale
As much as people want to fight it, big money is taking over this town:
Carlsbad Calavera
Here's is a good example of how fuzzy the pricing can get in any one era. This house was on the market for a couple of months before it sold, and the week it went pending, there was a second house nearby that had tried to sell for all on 2019 with no luck. They...
Big Yard in Bressi
Let's give Ben's new listing some publicity - it's not often that you'll find a newer house with extra-large yard for sale under $1,000,000 any more!
