No Fuss
This Encinitas Ranch home was listed for $3,499,000 on March 29th - which was the week rates started going up - and had no price reductions. After 112 days on the open market, they found a buyer who closed in less than 30 days (Sept.12th) for $3,390,000 cash, which...

NSDCC July Listings

The Barrier to Home Prices Dropping
The biggest barrier to prices going down is that sales are needed to prove it. Back in the old days when we had foreclosures, the banking rules forced lenders to keep selling their REOs, regardless of price. But who or what is going to force regular homeowners to sell...
Frenzy Monitor By Area
The reason for breaking down the active and pending listings by zip code is to give the readers a closer look at their neighborhood stats. In the recent years prior to the pandemic, the actives/pendings in Rancho Santa Fe ran at a 10:1 pace. Nobody is in a hurry...
