The best opportunities in real estate often show up quietly — in between market headlines, seasonal shifts, and before everyone else catches on. And right now, La Jolla may be entering one of those moments. After several years of intense competition, we’re finally seeing signs of softening in certain corners of the market. Sellers are sitting longer. Price reductions are increasing. Inventory is climbing in select price ranges. And off-market inventory — the kind that never hits Zillow — is more available than it has been in years.
While the top-tier homes with ocean views and perfect staging are still commanding strong offers, the middle and upper-middle tiers are creating real opportunity for smart buyers, especially those looking to:
-
Expand a long-term real estate portfolio
-
Pick up a vacation home before peak summer demand hits
-
Acquire rental properties or long-term holds in high-appreciation zones
-
Trade up while prices are more negotiable
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, this shift opens a window that hasn’t been available in a while — especially in a market as competitive and desirable as La Jolla.
We’re currently helping clients access private listings and Compass exclusives that are quietly being marketed off-market. These are homes you won’t find online — but you’ll want to see them before they’re gone. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to move, grow, or diversify — this could be your window.
