More from the 1979 series on Channel 8. I love this quote in the article:
“House hunting, today it’s a frustrating, time consuming and often times depressing process,” said Janet. “True, San Diego is the most expensive place to buy a home in all of the Continental United States, but that doesn’t mean only the affluent can buy here.”
There are 22 homes on my favorite stretch of oceanfront – it enjoys ample sand and is relatively private for a public beach. The last sale on this street was the 9,320sf home that sold for $16,000,000 cash in August, and it’s the only other sale ever that closed above $11,000,000 here.
This just closed for $24,700,000 cash! Take a look around:
We’re only three days into October so there will still be more reporting in the coming days….but September sales are pouring in! We had 52% more sales than we had last year in the La Jolla-to-Carlsbad market!

Until recently, you could expect that $10 million would buy you an oceanfront home in La Jolla.
But just in the last 30 days there were oceanfront sales of $14,000,000, $16,000,000, and this one in Bird Rock just north of Pacific Beach that sold for $19,250,000:
Check out our new listing in La Jolla – the best detached-home deal in the 92037! Nearly 2,200sf in gated community built in 1990 that’s conveniently located within 5 minutes of UCSD and the I-5 freeway! Wow!
A real-estate video company sent me this YouTube as an example of their work. They filmed during a wedding and they had night shots too which is deluxe:
Maxine had it listed last year for $8,980,000 but it didn’t sell. It’s now for rent at $50,000/mo.
They are talking to the wrong experts: Some experts predict home prices will rise less this year than last year, because values can only get so high. Home prices, sales jump 13% in January https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-02-22/southern-california-january-home-prices-jump
The north San Diego County coastal region has never been this hot - more houses in escrow than for sale! https://www.bubbleinfo.com/2021/02/23/nsdcc-pendings-overtake-actives/

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).
I consider myself a rather savvy buyer/seller. I've bought/sold 7 times in more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "
