Coming Soon – No Show

Jim Klinge — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:33:03 +0000

SDAR used to allow showings during the coming-soon phase, but the north county association did not. At least now we’re all playing by the same rules! It’s another rule that is ripe for shenanigans. Realtors who play by the rules will be advertising the Big Tease for a month as a “new listing but you […]

1H vs 2H

Jim Klinge — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 17:50:56 +0000

When buying and/or selling a home, what are the differences between the first half of the year, and the second half? First-Half Movers These are the planners. Home sellers who very deliberate about hitting the open market just right will designate springtime as the best time to sell. Even though San Diego enjoys a 12-month […]

Dying in Escrow

Jim Klinge — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:20:46 +0000

Years ago, I had a seller pass away while in the senior home. It was expected, and he had already signed everything needed to close the sale of his house. His family agreed to go ahead with closing. Typically, there is a fair period of time between the signing of a real estate sales contract […]

? At Bacchanal’s in Kearny Mesa! It was here that I saw Country Dick walk on top of each table all the way back to the bar – without falling! They are playing the Belly Up on Saturday!

Hyper Bidding

Jim Klinge — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 15:26:24 +0000

You know it’s a full-blown frenzy when buyers are ‘throwing caution to the wind.’ When 2512 Union St. sold in May for nearly double its $8 million asking price, San Francisco cringed at its close-up look at the “mansion shortage”. Now that drip of eye-popping anecdotal evidence is being backed up with hard data. In the first […]

Train Bluff Video

Jim Klinge — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:02:50 +0000

I think this is my most-watched video of all time at 118,000+ views. It keeps popping up because people feel the need to comment about the audacity. There are 43 trains that pass by this cliff every day!

Over List, June

Jim Klinge — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:40:15 +0000

There were 34% of the June sales that closed higher than their list price! Last month was considerably hotter than last June (when the tariffs had a their biggest impact). Sales in the second half of 2025 recovered somewhat and hopefully were just the baseline of what we can expect for the rest of this […]

Second Half of 2026

Jim Klinge — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:54:38 +0000

We just wrapped up the first half of 2026 with nearly 4% more home sales than the first half of last year. Mortgage rates have been hovering in the mid 6s for months, still slightly below where they were a year ago. Not boom times, but slow, consistent growth. Home prices don’t show that growth. […]

Here we go – the first ADU sale! The cost of processing a condo map should be $100,000 to $200,000. Here are the basic requirements published by the County of San Diego: Guidance for Separate Sale of ADUs under AB1033 _ 2026.04.03 Oh wait….there’s always something with them!

Inventory Watch

Jim Klinge — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 15:37:31 +0000

We’re into the second half of 2026, and it’s stunning how the number of active listings has dropped significantly from the last two years. It sure seemed like we were on the path of having MORE listings in 2026. The first-half count bottomed in 2023, and the inventory grew nicely in 2024 and 2025: NSDCC […]
