Jim Klinge is a Carlsbad, California real estate broker with his finger on the pulse of housing trends. His website, BubbleInfo.com earned the national news spotlight on ABC’s Nightline during the housing crisis for his frank, direct and helpful video assessments of the impact of the crash on Southern California.
Jim and his wife Donna have sold over 1,000 homes around the San Diego metro since the mid-1990s. He still posts real estate commentary almost every day.
Now Jim is hearing from many clients that they are ready to cash out of the dizzying San Diego market and take their proceeds elsewhere before the market cycle tops. Many of those clients have lived in San Diego County for decades and are in the midst of retirement and relocation. Their goal is to find a similar warm climate while simultaneously freeing up cash for lifestyle purposes.
