While the median sold price shows a sharp 30% YoY drop, this is largely due to a shift in sales volume toward Del Mar Heights and condos, whereas the active inventory remains dominated by $3.5M+ beach-area estates that are staying on the market longer (45-day average).

Brittany is the best real estate agent I could have ever asked for. She answered all of our questions (even questions that didn’t directly pertain to her role). She gave us confidence to make the best decision for our family and helped us feel in control during the negation process and all the signing of the documents etc. we will use her when we buy our second property!! Use her to buy your home! You won’t regret it! She’s also just fun to hang out with.

Andrew helped my wife and I buy our first home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends or family. He worked with us to squeeze in numerous viewings across SD County until we found a home we felt ready to make an offer on. He is knowledgeable about the market and was very helpful in navigating the home buying process, including working with the sellers to secure extensions despite some unexpected lender delays. Overall it was a pleasure working with Andrew and we’ll be calling him if we find ourselves back in the market!

THE FIELD NOTE

The Crown Jewel of the San Diego Coast

A quick summary from Andrew Ice, Broker

Del Mar is more than a neighborhood; it's a global destination. Since the 1930s, when Hollywood stars first flocked here for the racetrack and the sea breeze, it has maintained a reputation for timeless coastal luxury and effortless cool.

It is a city defined by its geography—tucked between the blue of the Pacific and the green of the Torrey Pines State Reserve. For buyers, Del Mar offers a rare combination of small-town intimacy and international prestige. You move here to live a lifestyle where the sounds of the ocean and the rhythm of the tides dictate your daily routine.

It's not just a home—it's a legacy. A piece of the California dream in its purest, most prestigious form.

The real estate market in Del Mar is one of the most exclusive and coveted in the world. From the iconic glass-and-teak oceanfront estates of the Beach Colony to the sprawling "Old Del Mar" hillside homes with 180-degree views, the inventory is a gallery of architectural masterpieces. Because the city is so geographically constrained, inventory is always low and demand is globally driven. Buying in Del Mar isn't just a real estate transaction; it’s an investment in a legacy—a chance to own a piece of the California dream in its purest, most prestigious form.

Thinking about Del Mar? Let's talk inventory, competition, and what it really takes to buy here. We'll make sure you're positioned to move when the right property becomes available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

The questions we hear most.

It's a global destination with small-town charm. Oceanfront living, world-class dining, the historic Del Mar Racetrack, top-rated schools (Del Mar Union), and Torrey Pines State Reserve all in one coveted coastal enclave. It's effortlessly cool and internationally prestigious.

Extremely. Inventory is low because the city is geographically constrained (ocean on one side, reserve on the other). Demand is globally driven—buyers come from across the country and internationally. Expect competition and premium pricing.

Architectural masterpieces: oceanfront estates in the Beach Colony, sprawling hillside homes in "Old Del Mar" with 180-degree views, modern beach cottages, and luxury condos. Most properties are custom or semi-custom with high-end finishes and dramatic ocean or canyon views.

Yes, if you can afford it. Top-rated schools (Del Mar Union), safe streets, walkable village, and a tight-knit community. It's small-town intimate with world-class amenities—beach access, farmers markets, and a lifestyle centered around the ocean.

Coastal, sophisticated, and unhurried. Morning surf or beach walks, lunch at Pacifica Del Mar, afternoons at the Racetrack during season, evenings watching the sunset from your deck. It's the California dream in its purest form.
