The Appraisal Blog

Keeping in the same Luxury Home theme this week ... there is a new listing on Calle del Oro in La Jolla.  I've driven by the house several times and, to be honest, it is somewhat unassuming from the curb!  By the way, it is not the most expensive house on the market.  A listing on The Point in the Coronado Cay is listed at $43M.  It comes with 2 boat docks and two pools (one on the roof) and there is a 15,000 sf horse ranch with a 15 acre bass lake situated on 77 acres in Rancho Santa Fe.  You can get that one for only $98,000,000!

The most expensive house ever sold in San Diego county closed escrow in October 2023.  The house is located in the Beach Colony community of Del Mar which is located just south of the San Dieguito Lagoon near Dog Beach.  The ocean front property situated on Sandy Lane was not listed in MLS but was reported to have 8 bedrooms, 7.5 baths with a guest house, tennis court, pool, and 100 foot of beach front footage.

It sold for $44.1 million!

A San Diego icon!  And the second largest wooden structure in the United States!  The largest being an airplane hanger ... which really isn't much of a comparison!  The property underwent a $400 million expansion in 2019...

Thinking of doing a remodel?  Personally I still like some of these design elements, but things always change and you may want to take them into consideration moving forward...

I've looked at at this house in MLS and from Google Maps for a while... amazed at its location and unique design.  And now it has a new owner... a rather famous one.  Check it out...

I see a lot of homes.  Some are ... well ... not so nice.  And others ... absolutely amazing!!  Sometimes I even get to see them on the same day!  Really interesting to see the spectrum of wealth in the community.  The high end homes are always a bit more interesting!

This one is located in La Jolla Farms above Blacks Beach ... and can be your for the low low price of $12,800,000!

Enjoy!
