carlsbad homes: Carlsbad Home Sellers: What You Should Know About Market Statistics - 04/09/09 03:16 PM

Unfortunately in this market the #1 seller question is not always easy to answer, and in more cases than not, the correct answer is not the news you want or hope to hear. 
Real estate is NOT just about statistics and numbers, although they are a key component - loan amount, interest rate, personal financials, and closing … (6 comments)

The Bluffs are one of the very few new condo developments in Carlsbad in recent years. (there are more in the works, though - Bluwater Crossing Live-Work Lofts for one).
