blogadmin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:12:55 +0000

Again proving the point that all real estate is local; If you read UT Business section for 1/20/2010 you will see that, according to DataQuick, San Diego County home-price were up 10% in year ’09 over ‘08. However, doing quick search of North County zips we are seeing that prices are still slightly declining. In Rancho Santa Fe we see that numbers of sales are down by 10% as well as the average price is down by 10%. There are still opportunities to purchase, but you should hurry. Take another look at the beautiful Rancho Ojala estate, (google “rancho ojala event’ for fun). the price for that one of a kind home is unbelievable. For a list of the buying opportunities available in our area. If you are looking for a home with Tennis, walking distance to the village, close to the trails, call us for informtion on Lago Lindo. It is a steal.

Exploring Solana Beach Neighborhoods

blogadmin — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:48:21 +0000

Solana Beach prices have remained consistant over the past 5 years. Comparing ‘08 to ‘09 there was a drop of only 11% in 92075. However, when looking at the sales statistics year over year you must be aware of the “neighborhood factor”. It is a fact that every zip code has several neighborhoods each with its own price and levels of desirability. For Solana Beach I counted 17 per the MLS input. If you want to live at the beach you are going to look at entirely different pricing then in “Olde Solana”, “Lomas” or San Elijo Hills. So you need to pay careful attention when you hear people talking about in San Diego County as well as the individual zip. The Cedros area even likes to call itself “Cedros Seaside”. This can’t be undersold. This area has so much to offer. The lovely shops and restaurants on Cedros, Fletcher Cove, the Coaster and our 4 properties on North Rios, “urbana in solana”. These homes, newly build in ‘09, are brilliantly designed, superbly constructed and available at the ‘06 prices. Also, Solana Beach schools are ranked in the top % amoung San Diego County Schools.
