–Jim (the husband of the e-mail writer) is a REALTOR, he got his license in 2004.
–JRB the REALTOR bought their 4600 sqft home at the peak in 2005 for 1.08 million.
–6 doors down a same sized home just closed in December for 840k.
JRB and wife should be very happy that the city of Carlsbad helped prop their home value up with this purchase.
and seriously, what kind of a real estate professional pays over a million to live in the shadow of one of the busiest single runway airport in the nation.
