Just Listed in rural Rancho Santa Fe - Older home on 2.4 rural acres for just $2,299,000.

A rare and valuable find, this property represents a blend of historical charm and modern potential, making it a diamond in the rough for the right buyer. The two-bedroom home was built in the 1940s and includes a detached 3 car garage with a studio apartment including full bath and kitchenette currently rented month to month.

Fix the house up or or start from scratch and build your dream home. No HOA or Art Jury is a significant advantage for many buyers, as it allows for more freedom in terms of property use and modifications, without the additional fees and restrictions that can come with HOA governance.

This site would be a prime candidate for re-development into your dream home and private resort just 10-15 minutes to the freeway, shopping, and beaches. Location, location, location!
• No HOA Restrictions or Fees: Freedom to use the property as you see fit, from architectural designs to landscaping, without needing to conform to stringent community rules or paying monthly fees.
• Potential for Customization: With the only requirement being obtaining permits from the County of San Diego, the process of building or modifying the property may be more straightforward, allowing the owners to bring their visions to life more easily.
• Historical Value: Being part of an original homestead from the 1850s adds a unique historical and aesthetic value that can’t be found in newer developments.
• Natural Beauty and Privacy: The 2.4-acre lot filled with mature trees offers a serene and private environment, ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life without being too far removed.
• Versatile Use: The possibility for horses, tennis courts and other recreational facilities can make this property a personal retreat tailored to the owner’s hobbies and interests. • Desirable School District: Highly sought after Rancho Santa Fe School district is a significant advantage for families.

How's The Market?

1628 Bahia Vista Way in La Jolla Palisades single level ranch style fixer listed and sold in 4 days with multiple offers and over asking price. The new pwners have exciting plans for it so I'll look forward to driving by this time next year and see how it's looking.

If you're considering buying get in the game now as inventory is brutally tight and as more buyers come online with lower rates the competition will begin to heat up.

Thinking of selling? Let's talk. If you're in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside or San Diego County you're within range of my team. That said, whether you're in Milan or Miami I'd be happy to connect you with a Sotheby's International Realtor in your market place suited to your personality and desires.

Fasten your seat belts.

Rates have been dropping. Based on the data I'm hearing and reading we are entering a deflation mode which is potentially worse than inflation.

Why? Stock markets take a nose dive during deflation. If deflation hits the Fed will likely start cutting rates and when (if) that happens bond markets will rally which will cause mortgage interest rates to drop even further.

Deflation means the cost of goods and services drops and the dollar strengthens. People can buy more with the same amount of money. Sweeeet! That said, home prices usually fall if deflation is strong. This is where the investors start turning out and snapping up homes - homes they can sit on as rentals while they wait for rising prices.

Rents MAY drop somewhat in some regions which could buffer the demand for real estate ...to a degree, depending on your market. San Diego is considered quite strong so good likelihood we won't see much change from the high demand and low inventory hamster wheel we've been running on.

Thinking of selling or buying? Let's chat. No matter where you are in the country there's a good chance I can connect you with a Sotheby's International colleague suited just to your personality.
