What’s Moving in La Jolla Right Now
Published 9 days ago • 6 min read
We have six great properties to feature this week.
Last week, we highlighted our new listing at 1385 Park Row in La Jolla. We had strong attendance at the open houses and broker caravan, received several highly competitive offers, and went into escrow in less than a week.
It’s a good reminder that certain submarkets still have significantly more demand than inventory. Move-in-ready single-family homes in the Village are one of them.
We also have a great rental available on Dowling in the Beach-Barber Tract. It’s newer construction in an excellent location near the Bird Rock Bike Path.
If you know anyone looking for a La Jolla rental, let us know. We’d be happy to arrange a showing.
THIS WEEK'S PROPERTY PICKS
1715–1717 Coast Blvd. | Del Mar Beach Colony
$6,695,000
A unique two-unit property with the ability to combine the spaces. This could make an excellent second home with strong income potential. Prime Beach Colony location just steps from some of Del Mar’s best oceanfront restaurants.
2217 Via Pedrera | La Jolla Alta
$1,649,000
We haven’t seen many listings in the El Dorado community lately. This one offers great value for the size — three bedrooms in La Jolla at this price point, with an HOA of $827 per month.
5421 Linda Rosa Ave. | Bird Rock
$2,595,000
One of the better values for a single-family home in La Jolla right now. Located on a 6,000-square-foot lot in a highly desirable neighborhood. It’s near the Linda Rosa/La Jolla Mesa intersection but set back from the traffic.
5673 Linda Rosa Ave. | Bird Rock
$4,248,000
Higher up the hill on Linda Rosa, this newer-construction home offers views and a quieter setting. Built in 2020 by Tourmaline Properties, it has a great floor plan and is move-in ready.
6911 Neptune Place | Windansea
$8,195,000
In our view, this is one of the more compelling oceanfront opportunities currently available in La Jolla. The home is set back from the bluff, has a generous footprint, a garage, and additional off-street parking.
1576–1578 Diamond St. | Pacific Beach
$3,000,000
A unique historic property featuring a three-bedroom home, large four-car garage, and an additional 525-square-foot recreation room. It could be a strong fit for buyers with space or property requirements that are difficult to find elsewhere.
6255 Dowling Dr
Beach Barber Tract
3 BED | 3.5 BATH | 1,863 SF
$9,500/month
Views of the hills behind and direct access to the bike path from the oversized yard, this luxury newer construction twin home in Beach Barber Tract offers it all. This is a beautifully designed 2 story property that has had no expense spared.
Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood setting within La Jolla Village, this luminous contemporary Mediterranean residence offers a rare blend of tranquil privacy and vibrant downtown accessibility.

Buyer Representation
The off-market success story mentioned earlier in our newsletter. We are so happy for our clients and thrilled they were able to secure such a special home in La Jolla through a competitive off-market opportunity. Congratulations on an amazing new place!
We would love to welcome our newest team member, Alexandra Tulleners. Some of you might have met Alex already.
Kaylee is having great success as a full-time agent in Vegas, so she has left our team.
Alex slid right into the marketing role with grace and ambition. Licensed as a salesperson, Alex will eventually sell in addition to helping us with marketing and administration.
For now, she is trying to learn the chaos that we throw at her and she is managing the Ryan/Tracie team dynamic...she can't read our minds yet, but she will get there.
We 150% could not achieve the success we do without these two amazing, talented ladies by our sides.
Thank you Kaylee...you are priceless to us and we wish you the best as our team member and most importantly our friend.
Welcome Alex! Hang on because it's a fun wild ride in real estate.
We're honored to have you on our team.

Lakeside
3 BED | 4 BATH | 2,598 SF
Price Improvement: $1,300,000
Welcome to an 800-acre vineyard-inspired sanctuary featuring 12 single-level estates. This never lived in home is tucked away and offers a lifestyle of quiet sophistication.
Located in the desirable Bernardo Villas community, this inviting upper-level condo combines some modern updates with spectacular panoramic golf course views.
In a more competitive market, presentation can make a meaningful difference. Thoughtful staging helps buyers better understand a home’s layout, creates a stronger first impression online and in person, and can help a property stand out from competing listings.
We’ve had the opportunity to work with Everything Creative Designs on several of our listings, and they consistently do an incredible job. Their staging has helped create spaces that resonate with buyers, and we regularly hear positive feedback and compliments during showings.
According to recent staging data cited by Everything Creative Designs, 63% of staged homes sold without a price reduction, and buyer agents report that staging helps buyers more easily visualize a property as their future home.
Thinking about selling? We can help you determine which updates, staging choices and pre-market preparations are worth making before your home goes live.

We’ll just say it. Our new listing this week is incredible. This is a true legacy property not to be missed. This home has EVERYTHING. Views, space, land, privacy, parking, guest house and more. Check out the photos and video below and call us to arrange a private showing. We picked just a handful of new listings to feature below. But we want to highlight a unique opportunity and deal structure: an assumable 2.25% mortgage on a great home. As a matter of coincidence, we sold this home to the...
MARKET UPDATEWe are on a roll right now and loving it. We really enjoy helping clients navigate this market and have been working equally with both buyers and sellers. Interest rates ticked up this week. Since markets had already priced in an interest rate raise from the Fed, today’s announcement was handled in stride by the markets. In addition to our own listings, we are featuring five new listings hitting the market this week. We have three great view homes under $3 million. Our top pick...
This week with Ryan & Tracie If summer is technically over after Labor Day, this weather has definitely overstayed its welcome. If you’re in Florida and used to this kind of weather, it might be time to move to San Diego, where this is the anomaly and not the norm. For the weekend, we escaped to Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho to celebrate a friend’s 30th anniversary. It was an active few days of boating, rain, dancing and karaoke. Back home, things have been busy on all fronts. You can see some...
