Carlsbad Sunday Brunch
Do you enjoy a great Sunday Brunch? It is one of our favorite things to do. We love to sit together, have a mimosa, and just catch up on the week’s happenings. In our busy lives, it seems we rarely get to spend time together and a Carlsbad Sunday Brunch is a favorite.
If you are looking for something to do with your spouse or family in or around your Carlsbad or La Costa home, try Bellefleur in the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. They serve Sunday Brunch from 10-2 for $21.95 per adult. The juice and champagne are free flowing and the food is great. And maybe you can do some shopping while you are there.
If you have any questions about life around our Carlsbad or La Costa homes, or any other coastal communities, please contact us.

If you have never gone to one of the fabulous Friday Night Carlsbad Summer Jazz concerts, this is something you must do this year.

HELP! Why Didn’t My House Sell?
Nearly 15% to 25% of all listings do not sell. The market rejects them.
In other words, the market did not accept the Marketing Effort, the Price, the Condition, the Location, or a combination of these areas—perhaps all four of them. We believe that La Costa Homes – La Costa Oaks, La Costa Greens, La Costa Ridge, or La Costa Valley are some of the most desirable locations in all of San Diego County.
The good thing is that you control two of these areas: Price and Condition. We control one: Marketing Efforts.
Marketing Effort
Staging and Pricing
For Sale Signs, Riders, and Flyer Box
Multiple Listing Service
Professional Photos and Flyers
Open House Program
Track Showings/Collect Feedback
Property Caravans
Weekly Seller Updates
Condition
A hundred dollar bill is a great metaphor: they all look good, but people will always choose the nice, clean, crisp one over a dirty wrinkled one. How does your house look to others? This is the crucial important difference between Showing condition and Living condition.
Price
Being overpriced is usually the reason a home did not sell, but condition will help determine what the market is willing to pay. Remember that YOU control price and condition. The wrong price attracts the wrong buyers. It creates a bad reputation for the house in the market place and makes properly priced homes look even better. Would anyone intentionally put their home on the market to help sell the competition?
Location
Ask your La Costa neighbors – do you love it here? Nobody can do a thing about their location except to accent the positives and minimize the negatives.
