The La Jolla real estate market is one of the most expensive in San Diego County. A visit to La Jolla on-line, or better yet in real life, will quickly give you a good sense of why this is so.
La Jolla, "The Jewel," is an extraordinarily beautiful coastal community with many homes offering fabulous views of the ocean from the hills, and a trendy, very up-scale village offering the finest in shopping and dining. La Jolla has often been compared to the French and Italian Rivieras with wonderful ocean and coastline vistas from the hills, amazing homes, beautiful architecture, and a terrific year-round climate, attracting visitors from around the world.

24 La Jolla homes (6% of the total) had a contingent status at the end of December (these homes are still considered active, but have offers that are being considered by either the short sale or REO lenders).
There were 403 homes in the La Jolla real estate market for sale at the end of December, about 6% below the October inventory, the 3rd month of decline, but a pattern we have seen in other communities; 53% of these are detached single family homes.
