Anyone in the real estate industry for any length of time realizes that the education required and the resources necessary to be a true industry professional have dramatically increased over the last two decades. In today’s volatile 
market, it is necessary to have a true real estate professional if you want to sell your home for the best possible price in the shortest amount of time – and make sure the deal gets to the closing table!
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) explained in a recent Existing Sales Report that 18% of all contracts were cancelled in the previous month. This compares to 16% the prior month and 9% in August of 2010.
The good news is homeowners have realized that attempting to sell their home on their own is an arduous process best left to an industry expert. According to NAR’s 2011 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the percentage of sellers selling on their own, known as For Sale By Owners (FSBOs), has dropped almost in half over the last 20 years:
Bottom Line
If you are selling a home in today’s confusing real estate market, it is best to take on the services of a local real estate expert. He/she will guide you through each step of the transaction thereby increasing the likelihood that there will be fewer inconveniences for you and your family.

Carlsbad Village Luxury Coastal Living Redefined
Finding solace along San Diego’s northern shore – neighboring the Agua Hedionda lagoon near Carlsbad State Beach at Tamarack, the Estates at Crescent Del Sol perfectly capture the milieu of coastal living; affording a classic California lifestyle fully inspired by forever views of the Pacific expanse. A mere two blocks from the sand and surf, the intimate community of eight villas [featuring Mediterranean-style architecture and design] enjoy the privacy of gated entry, along with well appointed amenities and custom features.
Spanning an estimated 3,250-4,308 square feet, each residence hosts three levels of fine living – each unveiling westbound whitewater views and outdoor entertaining. And with a celebrated seaside ambiance, each villa extends a generous floor plan with detailed craftsmanship; from an abundance of natural lighting and the height of 10-12 foot ceilings, to hardwood and travertine flooring, and counters cut from marble and granite.
A second level gourmet kitchen – unfolding to family living and dining, serves custom cabinetry in walnut, oversized stainless steel appliances and a central island for easy prep, display and counter seating; a stone-laden mantel highlights fireside living and an open space for entertaining family and friends. Its western front is clad in La Cantina bi-fold pocket doors, allowing the space to overflow with ease to an outdoor terrace and loggia – a true luxury that affords a more organic approach to indoor-outdoor living; residents enjoy alfresco dining, lounging and grilling while taking in the Southern California sun.
Also of note: an executive office with built-in cabinetry, oversized windows and a small patio for reading; wine cellar with wrought iron entry; vestibule and elevator from garage parking; and a master suite with fireside seating, spa bath treatments and a private patio. Not to mention a rooftop deck on the third level, featuring unrivaled 360-degree panoramic views of Carlsbad’s beach front and Pacific horizon.
What really separates these homes from the rest of new coastal development is the engineering and design of the subterranean area below the project. There is guest parking for 11 vehicles as well as individual private 3 and 4 car garages for each resistance with additional personal 150 square foot storage rooms. The private elevators service private entry vestibules below ground as well.
Named for the popular 19th century Karlsbad Spa in Bohemia [now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic], Carlsbad or “Village by the Sea” – with nearly seven miles of scenic coastline – is characterized by old world charm and a natural coastal appeal with the convenience and pleasures of modern living; the oldest building in the town dates back to 1887, while an ever-present downtown Village has become a hub for boutique shops, local dining, antiques and live music. Not to mention the allure of the great outdoors – offering hiking, biking and a myriad of water sports; Carlsbad State Beach, located at the foot of coastal bluffs, offers swimming, surfing, scuba, fishing and beach combing.
Seven villas at Crescent Del Sol are currently available, starting at $1,750,000.

Pacific Highlands Ranch in North San Diego County Meets Needs of Growing Family; Manzanita Trail by Pardee Homes was the Right Choice for the Glenn Family
“We wanted a bigger house and a yard, so we were first on the waiting list when Manzanita Trail opened for sale two years ago,” said Annie Glenn, who along with her husband, Chris, loves their new, two-story house. “This is our dream home,” she added. “We love the layout of the rooms, the yard size and the fact that we are living in a home that is energy-efficient. We are very happy with all that Pardee has done to make green living an integral part of our new home.”
There are many reasons the Glenn family originally chose Pacific Highlands Ranch, including the schools and community, but the location was important too for these local business owners. With three retail stores at Seaport Village and a new store, a second Urban Girl Accessories set to open soon in downtown Del Mar, they are freeway close. “Pacific Highlands Ranch is so convenient for working downtown, and the community is amazing. The kids can play safely outside and the schools are great,” said Glenn.
Pacific Highlands Ranch is located in one of northern San Diego County’s largest coastal sites, just east of Carmel Valley with easy access to Interstates 5 and 15 and Highway 56. Residents of this premier community may enjoy a number of thoughtfully planned and proposed amenities, including an expanse of preserved habitat and a state-of-the-art private recreation center with an elegant clubhouse, swimming pool, spa, fitness center, barbecues, and children’s water play area. Currently, there is one new home neighborhood now selling in Pacific Highlands Ranch–Manzanita Trail. Another new neighborhood, Hampton Lane, is scheduled to open in May.
Manzanita Trail is priced from the high $600,000s and is designed to appeal to a variety of homebuyers by offering versatile floor plans that easily adapt to families of all sizes. The classic front porch design incorporated into the available Plan 1 and Plan 2 homes means that there’s lots of versatile living space, flexibility and a welcoming facade that creates an inviting entry and provides additional outdoor living space up front. Plan 1 features great room living, with four bedrooms and three baths within approximately 2,357 square feet. There’s also a side courtyard and the option of a workshop in lieu of the third bay garage. Plan 2 has four bedrooms, three baths, formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room and the option of an office, nook or den in approximately 2,596 square feet. In addition to the front porch, there is an interior courtyard that creates even more outdoor living space just outside the family room and kitchen. Both floor plans are two stories and have a full bedroom and bath located on the first floor.
Included standard features such as ceramic tile flooring, fireplaces, dramatic ceilings, high-speed Category 5 wiring and coaxial cable, spacious food storage pantries, gourmet kitchens with convenient food preparation islands and GE or GE Profile Mix appliance packages in stainless steel, can be found in all floor plans at Manzanita Trail.
Manzanita Trail features Pardee’s LivingSmart program of environmentally friendly practices creating the perfect combination of living and lifestyle.
“Our LivingSmart program helps preserve the land and its precious resources while making the home environment more comfortable and efficient,” said Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. ” The LivingSmart package of standard and optional measures boosts energy efficiency, saves water, improves indoor air quality and encourages material conservation and the use of recycled or sustainable resources with features such as energy-efficient appliances and lighting, tightly sealed ducts, Low E spectrally selective glass windows, dimmer switches and occupancy sensors and engineered wood products.”
Manzanita Trail homeowners can also select from additional earth-friendly options such as a SunPower roof-integrated solar electric power system, tankless water heater, high-efficiency air filtration system, whole-house water filtration system and central vacuum system.

San Diego County ” Housing Hot Spots” defy the economic downturn.
North San Diego County Coastal Communities and a few other hot spots in San Diego are enjoying both increases in home prices and in some areas an increase in sales as well. One of these communities is Carmel Valley. When State Highway 56 was developed about 8 years ago giving the inland areas east of Interstate 15 easy access to the coastal areas, the large stretch of land that was previously mostly used for farming was now intersected by the highway and seemed ripe for development.
Carmel Valley was one of the largest underdeveloped areas of the county stuck in between developed coastal areas and the already developed inland areas. With vistas and canyons of views to the ocean in one direction and the mountainous areas of East county in the other, it seemed ideal for housng development.
Carmel Valley is now one of the more sought out areas drawing both high paid tech workers and move-up buyers. The median price for homes here is $950,000 and sales increased in this area over 13% the first six month of this year. Carmel Valley is one the bright ” Hot Spots ” for housing in the entire county of San Diego.
Other Hot Spots are Southwest Carlsbad , Del Mar and another standout is Jamul located well inland where the prices jumped over 15% with sales holding steady to what they were in 2010.
