The pull holds 236 folios in all. The ones not counted as homes are 1 reference folio for the common elements. They are real property with their own assessments, but they are not residences, so every figure on this page leaves them out.
Home sizes run from 930 to 4,995 square feet, with a median of 1,875. The roll records 5 one-bedroom, 178 two-bedroom, 50 three-bedroom, 1 four-bedroom and 1 five-bedroom. The median 2026 assessed value is $1,319,544; an assessment is set for tax purposes and is not a market price.
What have homes sold for since 2023?
Qualified arm’s-length sales only. Transfers the county flags as disqualified are excluded, a deed that covers several homes is not counted as one sale, and 2026 is a part year.
| Year | Qualified sales | Median price | Median $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 10 | $1,587,500 | $917 |
| 2024 | 5 | $1,900,000 | $1,013 |
| 2025 | 10 | $1,635,000 | $1,013 |
| 2026 | 2 | $2,180,000 | $1,163 |
Pooled across all 27 qualified sales since January 2023, the median is $1,825,000, or $1,000 per square foot. With 235 homes, that is about one home in 32 changing hands per year. Median price moves with the mix of floorplans that sold in a given year, so the per-foot column is the better like-for-like guide.
How owners did when they resold
A resale pair is the same home recorded as a qualified sale twice. The county record holds 435 such pairs at Casa del Mar. In 26 of them (6.0%) the later price was lower than the earlier one. Across all pairs the median change was +66.7%, over a median hold of 8.3 years. These are recorded prices only: they leave out closing costs, improvements, assessments and carrying costs, so a small recorded gain can still be a loss in cash.
The highest recorded sale
The highest qualified sale on the record is $3,500,000, on 10 June 2024, for a 3,120 square-foot home, or $1,122 per square foot.

What to check before you sign
- Confirm the folio, not just the unit number. Ask for the folio and read its own sale history and assessment on the Property Appraiser’s site.
- Ask the association for its milestone inspection status and its reserve study. Both can change what an owner pays after closing.
- Check any comparable you are shown against the county record. A deed that covered more than one unit, or a combined residence, can make a price per foot look far higher or lower than the building really trades.
- Ask what the monthly maintenance covers and whether any special assessment is approved or proposed. Get it in writing from the association.
