Jim’s buyers are looking forward to every big storm, and more climate change. They will be oceanfront before you know it! Purchase price was $2,250,000.
Spectacular rebuild of this classic ranch that is right on the golf course! Awesome wide-open great room with full glass across the back to enjoy the golf views. Exotic bamboo floors, granite generously applied throughout, custom lighting, all on a quiet culdesac in Lomas Santa Fe Estates.
Jim generated this off-market sale while driving around with his buyers looking at others. The house was under construction, and Jim approached the owner, made the deal, and then followed through to the end to make sure the final product was delivered as promised.
In March, 2015, Jim sold this for $1,550,000 – which was $51,000 over list price – to the third buyer after the first two cancelled. Not an easy feat!
The City of Solana Beach has made some incredible demands of their oceanfront homeowners, and our great friend and client Larry Salzman is fighting back!
The City of Solana Beach enacted regulations to prohibit beachfront owners from building retention walls or other protective structures to safeguard their homes from erosion unless they agreed to grant public access to their property.
The regulations also require homeowners to grant public access as a condition for a permit to repair damaged staircases that provide beach access from their homes.
A coalition of homeowners challenged the regulations as violating the California Coastal Act and the constitutional prohibition on takings without just compensation. The San Diego County Superior Court invalidated the regulations to the extent they required public access as a condition for protecting existing homes or repairing existing staircases, but refused to invalidate the regulations as applied to future development.

“Coastal homeowners have a right under California law to protect their homes from erosion with a seawall, with some qualifications written into the California Coastal Act. The City of Solana Beach’s land use policies take that right away, undermining both property rights and public safety.”
Here I describe some of the details of how the sale went down on Glenmont in Solana Beach, which listed for $1,499,000 on January 8th. Not every agent operates this way – many will just grab a cash offer and go for the easy close. But I prefer to go all out:

Doesn’t that price seem a little low, Jim? Well, this is one of the rare times that I have previous experience with this house in virtual the same condition many years later, and all I know is that the price was wrong previously.
