La Jolla is the Most Desirable Real Estate in the United States
A recent survey of a major Fine Homes Realty company, listed the Top Ten most desirable luxury home markets, of over 350 different markets surveyed in the United States. In all the markets the average price was over $1,000,000 and in the most desirable, La Jolla California the average sale price for the last four quarters was reported to be over $2,000,000.

Home prices according to the same report, says that luxury home prices are down about 8% from last year. It is no surprise that homes are generally more affordable. Prices are down as much as 50% in some markets since the high point of the market of 4 to 5 years ago, and homes are down generally about 15% in the last year. Individual community markets are up during the last year, and individual markets are down, but comparing real estate prices in different cities is like comparing the weather in Boston Mass, to the weather in La Jolla, CA - this week there are 30 inches of snow in Boston, this week in La Jolla it was sunny and a high day time of 68 degrees. Prices in different communities within the same city can vary greatly, but from one area to another across the country all but defies comparison.
