Just 35 miles north of San Diego, an area just recently plagued with wild fires, is Carlsbad, California.
This wonderful coastal city offers plenty of inventory to choose from -- and the honor of being ranked one of the "five best beach cities" in the United States.
It is a true buyers market at this time, with home sales down 110 percent from last year. Detached homes are priced starting in the high $400,000's, with an average price reported at $879,000.
Market time is still healthy at 67 days on average -- though a home incorrectly priced could sit much longer.
