01 Rising Home Prices: San Diego’s housing market continues to experience price increases, with home prices rising more than the national rate. As of November 2024, the median home price in San Diego was approximately $930,000, reflecting a 3.1% increase compared to the previous year. Despite these rising prices, local real estate agents note market stability and anticipate more opportunities for buyers in 2025.
03 Affordable Housing Task Force: The City of Encinitas is accepting applications for its Affordable Housing Task Force, aiming to address housing affordability challenges in the community.
04 Billionaire Darwin Deason has listed his opulent estate, “The Sandcastle,” perched above La Jolla Bay, for $108 million. Inspired by the grandeur of Versailles and the elegance of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the approximately 13,000-square-foot mansion features Old World European design elements, including marble floors and gold accents. If sold at this price, it would set a new real estate record in San Diego County.
