One of the common phrases you hear in real estate is that this is a "rare opportunity" for whatever a real estate agent is trying to sell.  One of the condo buildings where this actually may be the case is a small little condo building called Bonair Vista.  It's located at 760 Bonair Place in La Jolla, California with condos that rarely come on the market for sale.  We did a little research on this building was back in 2015 when a four bedroom townhouse with an approximate 2,466 square feet of living space sold for $1,350,000 after being on the market for only 1 day.  This was almost 7 years ago and real estate prices have changed since then with no other homes coming up in this complex of townhomes.  In fact, before then we were only able to find one

One of the more upscale areas to find a rental property is the Country Club area of La Jolla.  Over the last several years we have seen limited number of available rentals while there is still a huge demand for those looking for suitable rentals.  Often time these luxury properties are rented as furnished rentals for short periods of times which makes it tough for those looking for more longer term rentals.  A new Country Club rental home came on the market last month and is currently listed at $12,000 a month.  The property features a total of 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths with an approximate 4,643 square feet of living space.  It's being rented and the private remarks on this listing indicate that the owner is looking to rent it from May 1st to October 31st,

There is a lot of advertising in real estate that conveys the message that the piece of property they are selling is a unique opportunity to buyers in the marketplace.  Often times, this is just used to sell the property even though the property may or may not have unique characteristics about it.  Foxhill Estate is a probably a true exception to this with a property that is boasting being the largest contiguous residential property in La Jolla with the main house boasting over 20,000 square feet of living space.  On top of all of that living space is the grounds that the property sits on which is being advertised as being a 32 acre lot that includes three additional lots that can be developed. That asking price for the house is $55,000 and it was listed

One of the more popular places to look for a rental in the La Jolla area is the Southpointe community.  These are considered townhomes located on multiple levels with the large majority of rentals that come on the market here being 3 bedrooms floor plans.  Rental prices in 2021 have ranged from $3,350 up to $4,000 for a 3 bedroom townhouse with the price difference being a factor of limited supply and the condition of the property.  For the most part, these are 12 month leases that can either renew after this time frame or go on to a month-to-month rental.  The landlords at Southpointe typically take care of the association dues while the tenants would be responsible for all utilities.  Some of the amenities that are included in the monthly dues include 3

The Chiara building in the heart of La Jolla is one of the most unique places to find a rental property as they rarely come on the market for lease.  On average we see about one listing every year come on the market which are typically long term leases of 12 months to start.  The last time we saw a condo available was back on July of 2020 went a two bedroom, two bath condo leased for $3,450 a month.  Prior to that we saw two listings in 2019 where each of the two bedroom units leased for $3,300 and $3,100 a month.  Rents have been pretty consistent throughout the years with many condos being leased out in the low to mid $3,000 a month range.

One of the more affordable places to buy a property in the La Jolla area is the St. Tropez condo complex.  The location is right off Torrey Pines Road which leads down to the beach and is on the ocean side of the 5 freeway.  The large majority of these condos were built right around 1995 and offer a surprisingly large square footages that often average either 2,083 to 2,272 square feet.  What I love about these condos is that once you are inside it has the look and feel of a traditional home with high vaulted ceilings and lots of windows to let in the natural light.  Select floor plans in this community include a separate dining room that is open to the kitchen area with a large living room that opens to a bonus loft area on the second level.  The

One of the historic condo buildings located in the heart of the La Jolla area is the Park Prospect building.  Many come here for it's prime location that can offer some amazing panoramic views that rival any nearby condo buildings.   The location is also just a very short distance to the beach which is a huge selling point for many condo buyers.  They also love the historic aspect of the building which is actually designated by the City of San Diego as a Historical Landmark.  Because fo this it has a designation under the Mills Act which can offer huge savings when paying property taxes.  The biggest downfall of this building is condos rarely come on the market for sale here.
