Looking for the top " THINGS TO DO IN ENCINITAS"? Well, if you are not a local and are not " in tune with Living in Encinitas", then making a stop at Swamis Surfing Beach Park and The Self-Realization Fellowship Temple, is a total must. Swamis is by far the most renowned and popular surf spot in North County San DIego, possible, all of San Diego County, even.For starters, I'm a hard core Swamis local. I don't like promoting kooks learning to surf at this spot, or promoting long boarding, etc, but it's all good. Swamis is a different type of surf spot, compared to the rest of Encinitas, like Pipes, Cardiff Reef, Seaside Reef, Cardiff by The Sea Campgrounds, D- Street, Grandview etc. It's pretty much free for all at Swamis, and it is by far one of the only spots that can hold any size swe... 05/12/2023

Quantity of Leads Way Down. Quality of Clients Way Up! Placing my Broker’s hat upon my head please allow me to share my humble insights. About mid 2022 I was beginning to feel a bit anxious. It was in the air. As interest rates, inflation and the threat of recession began to increase along with the  residue of the COVID COP OUT (Sorry but after almost 3 years I’m over it) still looming over our heads we were beginning to see folks starting to ease off the throttle be they buyers or sellers.  Thankfully, it hasn’t been an abrupt ‘08ish type of nose dive; At least not yet. There are still many full price offers, even some multiple bidding activity going on in certain areas while price-points seem to be holding their own. San Diego, albeit it has slowed somewhat, is still considered one of... 12/22/2022

 Your Thoughts About Shared Equity Investments?I'm curious to know what lenders, investors and RE industry stakeholders think about Shared Equity investing?We've been in the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) aka BACKYARD HOME business in san Diego for almost 40 years.
