Lake San Marcos Improvements

As you may or may not know, the Citizens Development Corporation (CDC) is in charge of the facilities and lake at Lake San Marcos.  We have all seen it go downhill over the last few years, but if you are paying attention you can now see very positive things happening.   From time to time I will publish some of the changes in this blog.

Citizens Development Corporation (CDC) has filed a proposed Plan of Reorganization with the Federal Bankruptcy Court.  That plan, if approved, would control how CDC will repay its creditors and eventually exit from bankruptcy.  The next Court hearing on the Plan has been rescheduled for Aug 21. Conditions look favorable for the proposed plan to be approved.

Although approval of CDC’s proposed Plan of Reorganization has been delayed, CDC continues to make needed improvements in the facilities. Attached are photos of the Children’s pool resurfacing which has occurred over the last two weeks. This project, designed to make the pool usable this summer, has been completed, the pool has been refilled, and is again open for use.

Significant capital improvements cannot be started until CDC’s Plan of Reorganization is approved by the Courts and the creditors.  Once that is accomplished both of the pools are expected to see a major remodeling going far beyond the short term fixes required to keep them operational.

Both prices and inventory levels are relatively unchanged in recent weeks.  See current listings of Oceanside homes.

Carlsbad Homes:  The median list price in CARLSBAD, CA this week is $739,000. With inventory trending up but days-on-market trending down conditions do not seem to have strong up or down pull.  Inventory levels have been relatively consistent relative to sales.  Despite the fact that there is a relatively high amount of available inventory, this Buyer’s market is still seeing prices move higher. If the market cools off further, the price trend is likely to reverse.  See current listings of South Carlsbad homes.

Encinitas Homes:  The median list price in ENCINITAS, CA this week is $984,000. With inventory trending up but days-on-market trending down conditions do not seem to have strong up or down pull.

Vista Homes: The median list price in VISTA, CA this week is $339,000. The 378 properties have been on the market for an average of 127 days.  Vista home sales have been exceeding new inventory for several weeks. Since this is a Buyer’s market prices are not yet moving higher as excess inventory is consumed. However, as the supply and demand trends continue, the market moves into the Seller’s zone, and we are likely to see upward pressure on pricing.  See current listings of Vista homes.

San Marcos Homes: The median list price in SAN MARCOS, CA this week is $412,500. The 334 properties have been on the market for an average of 124 days.  San Marcos home sales have been exceeding new San Marcosinventory for several weeks.  Since this is a Buyer’s market, prices are not yet moving higher as excess inventory is consumed. However, as the supply and demand trends continue we are likely to see upward pressure on pricing.

Escondido Homes: The median list price in ESCONDIDO, CA this week is $356,500. The Escondido home market has settled in at a relative stasis in inventory and sales conditions. It’s a Buyer’s market that has seen prices trend lower. Expect that consistent up trends in demand will be required before price trends change significantly.  See current listings of Southwest Escondido homes.
