Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate Bargains?

January 12th, 2008 Categories: Luxury Homes, Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego

by Roberta Murphy

It may be hard to consider any Rancho Santa Fe (92067) real estate a bargain, when single family Rancho Santa Fe homes start at $1.15 million and currently peak at $29.9 million.

Moreover, only 16 of the current 167 active listings in RSF are priced under $2 million.

Hardly the bargain bin of real estate.

Still, we have bumped into a few notable buys:

A 3220 square foot Del Rayo Downs home in Rancho Santa Fe was purchased for $1.74 million on 3/14/2006. It is vacant, in lovely condition and has been reduced to $1.395. The owner will even consider a trade.
A gated, private and single story Mediterranean estate with over 5000 square feet on one acre just closed escrow at $2.1 million. It needed TLC, but the lots and bones were probably worth the total price. Located just outside Fairbanks Ranch.
A 19.4-acre gated Covenant estate was listed at $29.5 million last August and closed escrow at a paltry $21 million last month. It was reportedly a cash sale.
A Notice of Default has been filed against a lovely and very spacious 3-bedroom Rancho Santa Fe condo that has recently been reduced to around $1.2 million. I am already calling clients on this one.
Another Rancho Santa Fe townhome was reportedly purchased for $1.675 million in the summer of 2005. It is now on the market at a value range of $1.3 to $1.4 million, has assumable financing, and guaranteed golf membership in the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club .

Do we expect Rancho Santa Fe real estate pricing to fall off a cliff?

Not hardly.

But it is certainly worth ones time to scour the market to find sound values such as these.

Moreover, many who are home shopping now instead of buying two years ago can thank their lucky stars.
