This Week’s Highlights: Our New Listings, Activity Surges & Local Holiday Events
Published 2 months ago • 4 min read
Heating Up: Our Latest Listings & Top Picks
We are on fire right now with listings, escrows, buyers, and offers. One thing about the San Diego market—it's year-round. We don’t experience the same seasonality that colder markets do. This week, we pulled together a handful of really strong options coming to market that we expect will get a lot of activity.
In particular, we just launched two of our own listings (Teatro & Orchard) that are arguably the best of the bunch. While we may be biased, both are genuinely great opportunities, and the initial response is already reinforcing that. Take a look below at our listings and our other picks, along with our commentary.
We’re also heading into the holidays with a lot of fun San Diego activities kicking off this weekend. A couple of our favorites: the Pacific Beach Santa Run, and a new one we tried last year—cocktails and dinner in the beachside igloos at the Hotel Del. Definitely worth checking out and making reservations. Details below.
Muirlands La Jolla
6424 El Camino del teatro
4 BD | 3 BA | 2,409 SF
$4,299,000
We just listed this amazing view home with panoramic views from the backside of the property. This extremely rare opportunity is a legacy home that hasn’t been on the market in decades. The single-story home sits on a large, elevated 23,000 sq ft lot with unmatched potential compared to anything else currently available. This could be updated as-is, taken down to the studs for a large renovation, or completely rebuilt. It won’t last long, and we can show it very easily—just call or text us and we’ll make it happen.
We’re happy to present this top-quality traditional home right on the crest of the hill in Point Loma. This is a great opportunity for a turnkey family home in a fantastic neighborhood. The property has been impeccably maintained with quality finishes and upgrades throughout. The backyard has everything you could ask for.
Real estate 101: the smallest home on a great lot, surrounded by higher-end homes. This is a great value for any single-family home in La Jolla, but it also sits on a large 41,000 sq ft canyon lot at the end of a cul-de-sac. This is a strong opportunity and value. It could get bid up from this price.
La Jolla Village
7752 Eads
3 BD | 3 BA | 2,460 SF
$2,849,000
It’s hard to find a condo this large in the heart of La Jolla Village, with 3 bedrooms and in great condition at this price. There are only three other listings in the area with 3 bedrooms, and this property is the best value.
La Jolla
7901 Avenida Kirjah
6 BD | 7 BA | 3,861 SF
$3,499,000
This is priced to sell! Under $1,000 a foot in La Jolla—is that even allowed? Great-sized family home at a great price in North La Jolla. Easy access to the freeway and UTC.
La Jolla Shores
8260 Paseo Del Ocaso
3 BD | 2 BA | 1,765 SF
$4,900,000
While we think this is a pretty aggressive list price, this area is one of the most desirable spots in La Jolla and the home sits on a large 7,600 sq ft lot. Buyers who want this neighborhood pay a premium. There’s a lot of upside and potential here based on the lot and location alone. Finding the cottages is difficult at any price. At the right number, this is a strong opportunity.
La Jolla
8901 Nottingham
5 BD | 6 BA | 3,811 SF
$5,000,000
Amazing turnkey family home in North La Jolla that was just rebuilt and will be a hot property. This is a great street close to UCSD, UTC, and the freeway. You can compare this with the Kirjah home and see the price difference—and why each presents value at their respective prices.
La Jolla
1224 Virginia Way
4 BD | 6 BA | 3,856 SF
$5,695,000
This newer home, completed in 2018, is a modern design with great size, light, and volume, all walkable to the Village. The last home we featured on this street was almost identical in size and just sold for $5,865,000 last week.
Mission Bay Boat Parade of Lights
This festive boat parade on beautiful Mission Bay takes place annually each December. Mission Bay Yacht Club has organized and hosted the holiday boat parade of lights for decades, now a beloved event that delights viewers of all ages with creativity and effort that goes into decorating a brilliant floating light display.
Join us for the 13th Annual San Diego Santa Run on Saturday, December 13th! Over 40,000 Santas have participated in the event that was voted Best Fun Run by USA TODAY! Tell your friends, family and neighbors we are filling the streets of Pacific Beach with a Sea of Santas this December!
Gather family and friends for a cozy evening inside a Beach Igloo complete with lounge seating and heater. Outside, relax and roast s'mores around a roaring fire pit with your toes in the sand.

With the warmer weather, the market is behaving more like mid-summer than late winter. There is real momentum right now. In conversations with agents across the coast, most are working with active buyers, but there continues to be limited new inventory coming to market. We’re not seeing prices bid up week after week, but homes are selling and good properties are moving. If interest rates were to come down, this could turn into a much faster-moving market. There is a large group of would-be...
We’ve been BUSY!! We’re incredibly grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the referrals that continue to come our way. This has been a challenging market for some agents, but we’ve been fortunate to work with exceptional clients who value strategy, communication, and results. That connection is what drives us to fight hard for the best possible outcome every time. We have a great success story below that’s a perfect example of that. We also have some great property picks this...
