506 Pacific Ave., Solana Beach

Open House 12-3pm Today!

$2,995,000

Solana Beach suffers the same fate as many well-established high-end areas.

There aren’t many comps to begin with, and it’s ripe for off-market sales.

Three of the last four on the street were off-market sales – were they low?

I’m hanging my hat on the cheapest one, 424 Pacific. The story poles are already up, so the $2,555,000 was really just land value – and that corner is much busier than at the subject property.

But let’s also consider that Solana Beach has been remarkably under-valued for years, and we are just now starting to see what buyers are willing to pay.  It wasn’t long ago that the non-oceanfront homes struggled to get more than $4,000,000.

Now look:

Three recent sales over $6,000,000, with one of them back on the market for nearly $10 million!

My $2,995,000 looks like a deal!

Come on by and check it out today, 12-3pm!

    Yes, your readers are smart and educated but I suspect there are more than a few who need to know what a “story pole” means.

    Here is the PIQ (property in question):

    Story poles are the PVC sprinkler pipes the city requires you to erect so neighbors can get a feel for the height of the new building – and whether their view will be impacted.

    A neighbor said that when he applied to build a second story, somebody up on the hill a mile away came to the meeting and complained that their view would be diminished.

    Besides the nice cove you’ve got an excellent surf spot there, “Tabletop’s”.
