Thank you both for chiming in and welcome to the neighborhood. I agree with pretty much everything you said.
Ive always considered the various communities of Encinitas and La Costa as pretty much different shades of the same place as we all eat, drink, shop, send our kids to school, see same doctors etc. I’ve lived in both over the years. But there are definitely a menagerie of folks around here.
Its funny because most of the complaining comes from new arrivals who view this as an upscale, expensive beautiful community while ignoring what is plain to see. This is a funky place and the long timers like it that way. Ive been here almost 30 years but dont consider myself a local and likely never will. Thats my next door neighbor who is 3rd generation Encinitas.
Leucadia is definitely another world than over the hill where I am and I envy you being there. For a variety of reasons (taxes, Ive got one of the bigger lots in LCV and frankly I like it here) Im dug in here. But I would happily reside west of 5 if not for those things. Hope you are enjoying it all!
With all that said, following inventory as closely as I have have for decades it feels like supply is down almost 50% from where it typically is. That is compounded by demand being much higher than ever. I wouldnt read much into any short term fluctuations you see as there are many buyers for every home. I’ll continue tracking my numbers as I have for many years and if there is any wind of change I’ll see it coming
oh and Ithose prime one channel lots probably went to friends and family of the builder. They always do
