- 02/28/13 10:11 AM
Sorry, Too Late

The number of Carlsbad homes for sale (mostly resales) now stands at 281 homes as of today, down 4%, another decline, from January 2013.
Since January 454 homes have gone pending or sold. Of these 30% were gone in 7 days or less, and … (20 comments)

Later it’s “when are my San Diego County property taxes due?” As I tell everyone, I am NOT a tax professional and cannot advise regarding tax questions and that a CPA should be consulted
