This location is ideal because it’s right at the end of Carlsbad Village Drive and the closest you can get to the village. There have been three houses sell on this street for more than $10,000,000 – shouldn’t a brand-new house sell for close to that? Build three here!
A mini-ranch in Leucadia just sold for a little over the list price. Calling this a four bedroom is a stretch, but it had enough funky-cool to be an eclectic dream home for someone. Another all-cash buy too.
Let’s follow up on some of the featured homes for sale!
Laker Joe listed a 1,271sf house in east Oceanside for $800,000, and he received 25 offers! Four of them went over $900,000, and it closed for $950,000!
Why is it so hot in Oceanside? It’s because the last time a regular house sold for less than a million dollars between La Jolla and Carlsbad was late 2022!
The Encinitas attached home on Vulcan across the street from the train tracks is closing today for $1,870,000 ($71,000 over list).
The decked-out house near Aviara that listed for $3,195,000 had dropped their price to $2,995,000 after three weeks. It sold for full price eight days later!
The La Costa Oaks house that backed to the six-lane RSF Road sold for full price, $2,250,000:
The newer and very nice one-story in Alta Del Mar in CV sold for full price, $4,750,000:
The one-story on 1.3 acres in Del Mar Mesa sold for $5,800,000, just $50,000 under the list price:
Kelly’s listing of a Cardiff attached home with big view closed for $165,000 over list:
The sellers inherited the property in 2011, so they still had plenty of capital-gains taxes to pay if they didn’t live here. Don’t want to pay so much in tax? Sell for less!
The sellers were happy for a fairly quick sale, and having to take less wasn’t an imposition. The same could be said for all long-timers – if they had to take less, they could…..unlike at the last peak when so many were financed 100% or more.
The buyers paid $25,550 in costs on behalf of the sellers – a nice sweetener.
Maybe the original condition was such a turnoff that the sellers knew they needed to budge.
Recent history would suggest that multiple offers might have been in order. But not here, and certainly not everywhere now…..and the fixers are the first to be taking the hit.
I couldn’t be more excited about presenting this spectacular home for sale – mostly just to see if everyone likes it as much as we do. It’s not big enough to have wasted space – but I’d rather have 3,003sf of efficient floor plan than 4,000sf full of extra rooms that nobody uses.
