I think Sandalwood location and view is superior to 1 Channel and Enc Ranch by a good margin.They have the best lots and location which is worth far more than a nicer house around here. I live very close by and remember when they were built. For my eye it is the premier tract built home community in Encinitas. Over the last 20 years sales up there have always seemed to come in bunches. While 3 came on the last few months I dont view it as anything unusual. They do seem to be pushing prices a bit though up there.
1 Channel is now about 5-6 years old. Thats a timeframe where you always see some turnover. There have been 4 listings in the last 6 months. They are going for 50%+ original prices and when someone gets a big number neighbors take note. The area also had some recent drama. Rich people move to Encinitas/Leucadia and dont always look around much. Its funky in a lot of ways that just doesnt always suit the fancy pants crowd over time.
Coral Cove had 2 listings the last 6 months. Hardly a flood and it too is at the 5-6 year mark. There should be turnover. A good portion were bought as vacation homes and those that didnt use them as much as they thought or want to upgrade will be among those moving on. Nothing unusual or suprising here either
Maravu/Bay Laurel already had their their big turnover years ago. Most of the folks there now are more settled in for the long run. No surprise there is less turnover in them. BTW sandalwood new was 600ish new IIRC
