Interesting that you have inventory, at least in the 3-bedroom market. If I was looking for a house, I'd snap up one with the view in your top photo! What would be a typical price range for that view?

Hi Lottie Kendall 

Well for that ocean view, you might find something small for $2M or so, (or less for a condo). There is a 4 BR onceanfront home for $5.4M. Or go whole hog for  an ocean front estate at $29,950,000 (10,000 SF and 5 BRs). The true ocean front homes are kinda rare.

Enjoy your Sunday - hope you weather is a beautiful as ours is today!

I'm getting to a point that I am thinking that a 3 or 4 bedroom home sounds like the perfect size.  

Thanks for sharing this market report.  It gives me an idea of what Carlsbad area homes are selling for.
