A SHOWCASE OF SAN DIEGO’S FINEST PROPERTIES

Willis Allen Helps Clients Navigate a Challenging 

(OR EVER-CHANGING) Real Estate Market 

Once again we find ourselves in the middle of a real estate market that is burdened by a 

number of forces that are out of our control. The recent quick rise in interest rates changed the 

landscape for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have seen rates double in the past year. While a 

year ago many buyers were able to qualify for an owner-occupied loan of approximately three 

percent, that rate is now hovering around six percent! We have lost many buyers because of this, 

and for those who are still ready to make a move, there is simply no inventory available to them. 

That’s because sellers are experiencing a real dilemma. For owners who have lived in 

their homes for five to 10 years, they are sitting on an investment that has greatly appreciated. 

However, the current tax laws have devastated these owners’ potential profit. For example, if an 

owner has $1 million of equity in their home (not unreasonable in San Diego County, especially 

for those who have lived in their home for many years), they would be confronted with an 

astonishing capital gains tax of approximately $400,000 if they sold their home. Seasoned sellers 

will not bear this burden; instead, many simply choose to make changes to their existing homes 

and remain in place. Elevators, handicap access and other amenities are installed to make homes 

livable for this season of life, and no sale takes place. 

Even though we have buyers in desperate need of housing, there is no inventory on the 

market available for them to purchase. Within the past year, San Diego County had approximately 

6,000 available properties for sale, but last month our firm was only able to identify 1,700 

purchase possibilities. High demand and low inventory – it’s an economic quandary that keeps 

prices up, and it is a problem that will be with us until inventory levels rise. Our key to a better 

tomorrow in the real estate realm is for people to start believing in a growing economy and 

favorable mortgage rates. 

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that capital gains taxes will decrease since government officials 

don’t seem to recognize this as a viable solution for the real estate market. This is despite the 

fact that historically (during the Reagan administration, for instance) lower capital gains taxes led 

to more real estate transactions. In turn, this policy of lower capital gains taxes generated more 

net tax revenue to the government. I would argue that this is what we need now, but we simply 

cannot count on it. Instead, we must look beyond this and count on history repeating itself so 

that we will see a growing market in the next 10-20 months. The 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s all 

experienced this. Many astute buyers purchased property in those down turns and now are 

enjoying substantially increased equity values. 

So the lesson is: don’t wait to buy. Prices are not going to get any cheaper. Don’t let 

mortgage rates scare you away. Instead, trust that your real estate investment will continue to do 

what it’s always done in the long-run – put sweet equity in your pocket. Many older properties 

can become modern perfection with a little imagination and investment, which increases your 

equity, profit and net worth. I believe we will again see appreciation rates exceed the cost of the 

interest charged for your mortgage, and property owners will enjoy the benefit of tax savings 

that homeownership affords along the way, as well. 

At Willis Allen Real Estate, we are spending countless hours looking for ways to help our 

buyers and sellers. When we see a need for physical or cosmetic improvements on a potential 

new listing, for example, we have contractors available to assist in capturing higher values for 

our sellers. We’ve even worked out a deal with some of these contractors to delay payment on 

these improvements until after we close the transaction with the new buyer. At all times, we 

counsel our buyers and sellers to establish a plan that satisfies their needs and desires. We not 

only listen, but we are also determined to protect the financial health of our clientele and create 

a comfortable and seamless transaction. 

As mentioned above, we encourage buyers to not be afraid 

to purchase real estate..it will grow in value in the next many 

years and to help make our community worth more to enhance 

the value of your properties, we have actively involved ourselves 

in each of San Diego’s various cities and communities. We want 

San Diego to look as pristine and beautiful as ever, and we want 

people to continue to truly desire to live here. 

As examples, we have done much in North County to 

accomplish this over many years. Also, we are now actively 

involved in the “Enhance La Jolla” Maintenance Assessment 

District that aims to transform Girard and Prospect Streets 

by creating pocket parks, beautiful sitting benches, abundant 

lighting, and more. This “streetscape” effort is supported by 

funding that is overseen by the La Jolla Community Foundation, a 

501(c)3 non profit fundraising allowable tax benefit to the donor. 

The first phase will be an investment of over $6 million dollars. 

One half has already been pledged and we, along with many 

community members, are committed to make this happen. We 

have a strong and involved oversight board, so please continue 

to watch as this successful venture unfolds in the near future. 

This is but one of many commitments that will truly help 

elevate San Diego to one of the greatest cities in the world. 

Willis Allen Real Estate has been a leading force in San Diego 

County communities since 1914. With seven offices throughout 

the county and a select group of 200 full-time professionals and 

staff, we can certainly say we are fortunate to be here. We will 

continue to work hard to make sure you can say the same thing.

the scoop on encinitas’ 

best ice cream shop 

jojo’s creamery 

Run by a mother-daughter duo, JoJo’s creamery is a beloved stop for visitors and locals 

alike in The Lumberyard. The parlor is full of delightful flavors and a charming aesthetic, 

where the air is infused with the sweetness of freshly baked cookies and churned 

ice cream. 

Each of their delectable offerings is a result of artisanal craftsmanship and dedication; the 

ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, waffle cones, and sauces are all made from scratch- a 

testament to the dedication of the team. They are also committed to sourcing the finest 

ingredients when making their traditional ice cream, carefully fashioned with organic 

dairy sourced exclusively from the esteemed Straus Family Creamery. For those with 

dietary preferences that lean toward the plant-based, they have four vegan flavors that 

are made with organic coconut milk, organic coconut cream, and their own store-made 

oat and cashew milk. 

Our favorite flavor is Mud Pie- made with Wipeout Coffee, brownies, and hot fudge. 

It’s the perfect blend of velvety texture and big flavor, while also delicately balancing 

between being rich and refreshing. The icing on the cake, as it were, is that every order 

comes with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie!

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 

RECORD-BREAKING SALE 

“Where do I begin… as one of five trustees on a recent transaction with Deb Neff, 

I can share with confidence how thrilled we were to have her on our side! This was 

probably a particularly difficult sale, as it was a family residential income property 

which was concurrently part of a commercial property and 1031 exchange. 

Deb proved she was calm under fire, as there was a flood the day that we opened 

escrow. Deb was able to calmly, with confidence, and was a transparent, skilled 

negotiator, with attention to detail in a timely manner. 

Due to her efforts, knowledge of the market, going above and beyond critical need, 

we closed with multiple offers over asking price. Thank You Deb!”

queenstown village 

Now open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the heart of La Jolla Village, this eatery derives 

inspiration from its Kiwi origins to present an imaginative and varied menu. Celebrating 

iconic dishes such as the revered duo of fish and chips, savory meat pies, and succulent rack 

of lamb, the restaurant goes beyond convention with elevated innovations like the exquisite 

New Zealand king salmon and a lamb burger that has earned well-deserved accolades.

@queenstownvillage 

With a profound reverence for New Zealand’s culinary traditions, the proprietors have made 

it their foremost priority to pay homage to the authentic dishes and cultural encounters 

that define the nation. Their unwavering commitment lies in crafting a dining venture that 

artfully encapsulates the spirit of “The Land of the Long White Cloud,” all the while infusing 

each plate with their own earnest passion and distinctive flair. It’s a lunchtime favorite of 

our staff and agents in the La Jolla office (and their beautiful bar makes it a great place for 

happy hour, too). 

The setting effortlessly combines elegance and coziness, showcasing a blend of refined and 

contemporary aesthetics. Infused with a playful and whimsical charm, the design narrative 

of the restaurant is a testament to its distinctive brand and vision, setting it apart in a class 

all its own.

terri 

pontzious 

In 1991 I embarked on a new career path and had no 

idea it would grow into the thriving business it has 

become. I wanted a career that would blend my love 

of family, home and friends with my experience in the 

development, building and real estate industries. I never 

imagined then that I would help hundreds of families 

realize the American Dream through homeownership. 

For some, it was their first home. For others, the birth of 

a new child meant they moved to a larger home. Some 

have moved up to their Dream Home. I have helped 

clients through life-changing events like marriage, job 

change or loss, divorce, illness, and even the death of 

a loved one. I have helped them with their parent’s and 

grandparent’s homes as they transitioned to live with 

family or assisted care. We have experienced life’s ups 

and downs together. I have grown to know and love 

their families and it is a joy when I am introduced to their 

extended family and friends, helping them also navigate 

the world of real estate. I care about my clients and work 

hard to make sure their interests are always my priority 

and that I represent them well.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS 

“Terri Pontzious was recommended by a mutual friend to contact in the sale of my aunt’s home 

in Alpine. I live on the East Coast and needed a full service knowledgeable agent who could assist 

me in a difficult transaction. I am a retired real estate broker and real estate company trainer but 

the distance was an extremely difficult factor. Terri was extremely knowledgeable in every aspect 

of the process. Her communication skills are outstanding, follow up was impeccable and positivity 

ruled the entire process. In my 32 years of real estate in a high powered resort marketplace, Terri is 

possibly the best agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Thank you Terri for everything. 

Your professionalism and patience made a difficult transaction a wonderful experience!” 

-Michael Deckard 

“We have used Terri Pontzious now in three excellent transactions. As a 

former real estate company owner I know and would have used many 

wonderful agents. Terri is just the right one for us. She gets how we 

want to work and matched our pace and desire for results perfectly. 

Our home sold in hours and this is the smoothest escrow I have ever 

seen in all my professional and personal real estate experience. You 

cannot go wrong with Terri AND she answers her phone when it rings!”

daily brunch in 

normal heights 

madi 

Madison on Park’s sibling restaurant, Madi, is located on Adams Ave in Normal Heights 

and opened with one mission: to free brunch from its weekend-only existence. Open 

from 8am to 2pm every day of the week, diners can choose from a wide array of items 

that can oftentimes only be found on Saturday or Sunday in many places. 

While everything that we’ve tried on the menu here has been delicious (with some of the 

friendliest staff that we’ve encountered), we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention what has to 

be their signature item: waffle churro sticks. Four very large and gridded sticks are served 

sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar- a garnish of mint is added for good measure. Each 

of these “churros” are crisp on the outside, with the perfect amount of chewiness within. 

Each order comes with fresh berries and two dipping sauces: a maple cream cheese and 

a jalapeno-blackberry sauce. 

Generous floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interior in sunlight, casting a warm glow 

upon the intricate woodwork and enveloping the retro pastel palette of the 70s and 80s. 

Verdant flora adorns the outdoor patio, somehow managing to make each of their open 

hours feel like a freshly dawned morning.
