Hi Jeff, Looks like L a Jolla has almost recovered the downturn. Sales were up in March over Feb month 37% and the prediction that we are "moving on up at the West side"  seems to be about right. Things have been busy and deals are closing. Didn't even have any trouble with appraisals. Am I dreaming or is this the real beginning of what we have all been hoping for?

Another stellar report on La Jolla Jeff!  I used you as an example while giving a class on blogging at one of our offices yesterday!  You are an excellent example of what buyers and sellers are looking for in a Realtor online!

Jeff ... I like your La Jolla real estate market update.  54 homes going to pending at La Jolla RE market last month sounds like a positive number, and I wonder how many of those were short sales.

Thanks for all the comment - This is very encouraging, at least in this particular high end market. I was surprised at the shift - it will be interesting to see what next month does.
