If you’ve ever wandered into a store on November 1st, you’ve seen the Halloween candy marked down to half price. The candy didn’t change overnight, but the moment did.

Homes have a moment too. A new listing gets the most attention in its first few weeks, and the right price makes the most of it. Across San Diego County in September, about two-thirds of homes sold without a price cut. They went under contract in about two weeks and sold right at asking price. Homes that had to cut their price by 5% or more sat for over two months and sold for about 10% below their original asking price.

Check out this month's Benzian Bulletin for more on this, as well as featured listings AND my latest picks.

One of the most rewarding parts of real estate is building relationships that go well beyond a single transaction. Every client's journey is different, and sometimes finding the right opportunity takes time, patience, creativity, and a little persistence.

I'm incredibly grateful for the trust these clients placed in me throughout their journey. Knowing they felt supported, informed, and confident every step of the way is exactly what I strive for.

Thank you for such thoughtful words and for allowing me to be part of your journey.

Just helped my client purchase a truly special property in the heart of Coronado, just one block from Center Beach and moments from the Hotel del Coronado, shops, and restaurants!

With three homes on one property, more than 100 years of history, and an undetermined historic designation, this was anything but a typical transaction. But what others might have viewed as obstacles, my client recognized as an opportunity.

From navigating extensive inspections and coordinating with existing tenants to revisiting an earlier offer and finding terms that worked for everyone, this purchase required patience, thoughtful negotiation, and strong relationships.

Having longstanding connections with the listing agent and even the tenants helped us navigate the complexities and ultimately create a win-win for everyone involved.

This is why local expertise matters, especially when it comes to Coronado's unique, generational properties. Sometimes the right home takes more than a great offer. It takes trust, relationships, and knowing how to bring everyone together.

As Melissa Penfold notes, "houses and gardens have a way of altering our moods."

Couldn't agree more. 🌳

There’s something truly special about calling Coronado home. From our beautiful beaches and charming neighborhoods to the local businesses, community traditions, and familiar faces that make this island feel like a small town, there’s so much to appreciate.

I feel incredibly fortunate to not only work here, but to be part of a community I love so much. Helping others find their place in Coronado is a privilege, and I never take for granted the wonderful place we get to call home.

The Coronado real estate market had a strong summer for single-family homes, with prices, sales, and new contracts all up from a year ago. Condos and townhomes went the other way, with fewer sales and more homes for sale relative to demand.

This report covers July through September 2026 and compares each figure with the same three months in 2025. We look at single-family homes and condos separately, since they behaved so differently this quarter, and we use San Diego County as a point of comparison.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on your home's value, understanding these market trends can help you make more informed decisions. Reach out for a closer look at what these numbers mean for you and your Coronado real estate goals.
