Rancho Santa Fe Homes For Sale & Real Estate

The statewide API (Academic Performance Index) was just released for the 2008-2009 school year and once again the Coastal North San Diego County schools outperformed all other areas and excelled amongst all California schools. A school's academic performance is often an important part of a family's decision on where to live in San Diego. For buyers looking at homes for sale in Carmel Valley, Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, they can take comfort in knowing that their children will be attending the best schools in the county and the state.

For last year the Del Mar school district was at the top of the list for San Diego elementary and middle schools, and for high schools it was the San Dieguito Unified schools that featured prominently. Specifically the top elementary and middle schools were Sage Canyon, Ocean Air, Torrey Hills, Carmel Valley Middle School, Sycamore Ridge and Ashley Falls. Rancho Santa schools did exceptionally well with R. Roger Rowe, Earl Warren and Solana Santa Fe achieving high marks. The top high schools were again Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest in Carmel Valley.

San Diego's diverse economy and employment base continues to attract families moving into the area and the strong "report card" for the local schools plays a big part of why Carmel Valley, Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe real estate is popular with buyers.

So what has happened over the past week with Rancho Santa Fe Homes for Sale?

Rancho Santa Fe MLS Listings on the Market:

The Bottom Line - Another slow week for Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale as the market goes through its summer-fall transition.  There was just one new escrow this week but it is interesting that the Rancho Santa Fe home that sold was a high end luxury estate listed at $6,595,000 and it sold after just 4 months on the market.  This Covenant home for sale still represented an excellent value and the buyer was attracted to its location close to Rancho Santa Fe schools and golf courses.

While the lack of activity is disconcerting the fact that high end San Diego luxury homes for sale are being bought is encouraging as the Rancho Santa Fe market works its way through a slow period.  The Covenant Rancho Santa Fe has continued to attract the most attention along with Fairbanks Ranch homes and the newer construction areas of Cielo and The Crosby.  News reports from the Fed Chairman stating that the US recession is coming to an end is good news for consumer confidence but there are still "red flags" with high unemployment and the existence of Rancho Santa Fe foreclosure and short sale properties.  These are not widespread enough to be dragging down the market but nonetheless are to be closely monitored.
