This guy is a former Compass agent who now makes a living from doing video tours of homes for sale. It kind of sounds like what I do, but he has 3.5 million subscribers and this video has over 4.6 million views!
The sale did close for $22,500,000 in April, and the buyer was the owner of the Super Star Car Washes which you see all around town:
Wondering how the local market can survive higher mortgage rates? It starts with the cash buyers laying the foundation of comparable sales, and financed buyers deciding if they can keep up.

Here’s the 7,509sf home on La Jolla Farms that just sold for $18,450,000 cash, which was a whopping 6% below the list price. The market time was 12 days.
You can tell in this photo that the backyard was tired, but the rest of the one-story house looked fine. Even though there had not been any similar sales on this street since Alicia Keys paid $20,800,000 for an architectural gem back in 2019, it shows that when the affluent sees a house they like, they pay the man:
The Beach-Barber Tract is probably my favorite neighborhood in La Jolla, and is an eclectic mix of new and old that are close to both the beach AND village. A block down from our sale is this teardown that just sold for $6,000,000. The seller also owned the house next door to it, and he was the one who bought Mitt’s home – and just moved across the street!
It is a true honor to have listed for sale my favorite home of all-time!
365 Marine St., La Jolla
3 br/3.5 ba, 2,894sf
YB: 2018
LP = $6,950,000
This custom contemporary was designed and carefully-crafted for over three years to be the ultimate beach house just 100 yards from the sand! The main living area has floor-to-ceiling glass panels that open dramatically to create the perfect indoor-outdoor experience with breath-taking 180-degree ocean views over Marine Street beach! The interior is loaded with so many custom features that they make this home downright sexy! Ample off-street parking and an easy walk to the village too. Architect Mark Morris said in his 20+ years of designing super-custom modern-contemporary homes in the area, this is his favorite project of all-time. The ultimate in modern contemporary design – it’s a trophy property!
