There are many reasons why Del Mar homes are so popular, which is easy to see after one visit to the coastal city. Del Mar real estate is conveniently situated less than 30 minutes north of downtown San Diego, where the California Southern Railroad originally ran starting in the 19th century. The first patch of real estate in Del Mat was purchased the same year that the railroad was put in, 1882, by a man named Jacob Taylor. Ever since Taylor purchased those 338 acres, the land in this impressive locale has been a hot commodity. Mr. Taylor bought his Del Mar real estate for only $1,000, which was a deal even when inflation is factored in. In today's market, Del Mar homes regularly sell for millions of dollars.
On the coastal areas, it is not uncommon for homes to sell for more than $7 million. Inland real estate in Del Mar costs much less, but those homes still sell for around $1 million. The most beautiful parts of Del Mar are on the beach, though, which explains the price disparity. Del Mar real estate has continued to be in demand ever since that fateful year of 1882, but it has been kept as a quant city with a population of approximately 4,500. People have wanted to keep this city small, and have also wanted to keep their Del Mar homes on fairly large properties. The inhabitants are willing to share their city with visitors, though, with accommodations such as the Clarion Carriage House Del Mar Inn, the Hilton Del Mar North and the L'auberge Del Mar Resort & Spa. The real estate in Del Mar is so popular, though, because of its small town atmosphere.
