One of My Favorite Times of Year – San Diego Restaurant Week – NOW!
Yesterday – Sunday, January 17th, San Diego Restaurant Week returned to fabulous restaurants around San Diego County. The event will run from Sunday, January 17th through Friday, January 22nd.
Whether you are looking to dine in Coronado at Peohe’s, 1500 Ocean at the Hotel Del, or Coronado Boathouse 1887, George’s at the Cove or the Marine Room in La Jolla, or maybe Jake’s or Pacifica in Del Mar, the Chart House in Solana Beach, or Blue Fire Grill in La Costa, there are options for everyone!
Now, in its fifth year, San Diego Restaurant Week is an absolute hit. This was started in 2004 to bring patrons to restaurants for a week after the summer boom, when kids are back in school, and business is typically down. Popular, exclusive restaurants started offering three course prix fixe menus consisting of an appetizer, a main course, and dessert for either $20, $30, or $40.
If you look at many of the restaurants’ menus, you will find that many of them are offering the entire three course meal for less than just the main course on a typical night. For those of you who know me and Mike, you know, we love to do nice things on a budget. I guess it is that financial advisor in me! So, we look forward to San Diego Restaurant Week each year. We always use it as an opportunity to visit some old favorites – or take a new culinary adventure!
This year, due to the lagging economy, the restaurants added a second San Diego Restaurant Week. According the San Diego Restaurant Week published reports, the January 2009 week was the most successful ever – with over 180 participating restaurants and a 22% increase in diners over the 2008 event!
At the San Diego Restaurant Week’s website, you will find a comprehensive list of participating restaurants that can be sorted by price, type of cuisine, or location. Have fun and happy dining!
If you have anything you would like to see covered in our blog, please let us know. We are always here to answer questions and meet your San Diego real estate needs.

San Elijo Market Trends – 92078
June was a great month for San Elijo Hills (92078) real estate. The average price of homes sold in San Elijo went from around $481,000 to over $533,000. In addition to the the increase in San Elijo average home price, you will also see that the average market time for real estate sold in San Elijo was down from 76 days to 36 days. That is a HUGE decrease.
I think one of the things that agents are seeing is that San Elijo sellers are being more realistic in pricing their homes. They are actually using the recent solds to determine an appropriate price for THEIR San Elijo real estate. Using this strategy, they are seeing better sales – more quickly and closer to (and sometimes above) asking price due to generating a lot of interest on their first days on the market!
If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in San Elijo, La Costa, Carlsbad, or any other local areas, please contact us. We would love to answer any of your real estate questions.
