This is a new video of the remodeled 1,946sf single-story house on Manzanita in Carlsbad that just hit the MLS today for $799,000. Kayla and I will be there from noon to 3pm on Saturday for open house, and Richard will be there on Sunday during the same time period – stop by!

With all the merger hubbub, let’s keep an eye on the Zillow stats.
No MLS input yet of this house – just a Zillow ad plus open house signs were used to publicize my listing in South Carlsbad today.
I inputted the Zillow data and photos on Friday at 6:30pm.
Here are their counts of the number of views on Zillow:
Fri 11:10pm – 40 views
Sat 6:45am – 63 views
Sun 7:30am – 222 views
Sun 7:00pm – 335 views
There probably aren’t many agents in that count either.
We had over 50 people attend the open house, and four mentioned that they saw it on Zillow – and there were probably more. Zillow could be a deterrent in this case, because it shows that the house was just purchased in March for less. But they still came.
There are plenty of lessons to be learned from open house!

This area – near CSU San Marcos – isn’t pure residential. Not only does the Sprinter go through, but it also has several commercial and industrial businesses along Barham. So there isn’t a bunch of organic residential traffic to help boost the open-house attendance.
The goal with this video was to help document how many people attended our open house yesterday – another 70! They aren’t just looking, they are making offers too:

This is the house tour that was going to come before the drone view over the RobRanch, but together they were about 10 minutes long. So call this Part 1:

This Klinge Realty listing hit the MLS this morning, and the phone started ringing immediately. It has a great combination of a very habitable house on a full lot on a quieter street not far from the ocean for less than a million!

Price reductions should be done in smaller increments until offers start coming in – or if you do a big dump, the agent should be suited up and ready to conduct an effective bidding process. P.S. The agent has since raised the price on this one to $649,000:
