        <title>List Your Home Before the Rush</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The holidays can be a busy time with shopping, vacations, and parties. With all the activity and events, it’s easy to put off selling a home. What many homeowners don’t know, though, is that this time of year is ideal for listing a home on the North County real estate market. If you are considering selling your home in the near future, now is the time to list and show your home as competition is minimal and rates are lower to incentivize buyers.


Make Your Home Stand Out


When it comes to North County real estate, November and December are a great time to list and sell a home. Due to all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, other homeowners are putting off listing their homes until January. By listing your house now, you can be sure that your home has little competition in the market and stands out to homebuyers. If you wait until January, it’s likely your home may blend in with all the other new listings.


Lower Rates Entice Buyers


Mortgage rates are historically lower at the end of the year in order to incentivize buyers to borrow money. Lower rates make it more appealing to buyers to finally invest in a home purchase and make them serious buyers. A new North County real estate listing in November or December not only stands out from the crowd, but also comes on the market at a time when mortgage rates are often at their lowest point of the year.


 The Lund Team has over 30 years of experience as Carlsbad real estate professionals and has sold thousands of properties in North County San Diego. Contact The Lund Team today to make sure your home stands out from the crowd and is put in front of buyers at a time when mortgage rates are typically at their lowest point of the year.


Call The Lund Team today at (760) 438-0800 to find out how much your home is worth.

        <title>The Lund Team’s Top 10 Restaurants in North County San Diego</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Among the many attractions in Southern California are the wonderful restaurants, with chefs who make eating out a never-ending adventure. Many of our favorites are &quot;home grown&quot; and casual. A few have burst on the scene recently and in a big way. Others have survived decades of popularity and new generations of customers are singing their praises.


Each one is special, but they all focus on quality and innovation. Not one is a &quot;greasy spoon,&quot; but several offer wonderfully uncommon versions of &quot;comfort food.&quot; Just as North County San Diego real estate offers a varied menu of delights for discriminating buyers, each of these eateries provides a unique take on local &quot;gastro-tourism.&quot;


Here are the Lund Team's Top Ten Picks, in no particular order:


In Carlsbad


1.    Beach Plum Kitchen


Inexpensive and nothing if not neighborly, but upscale in attitude, Beach Plum Kitchen is the kind of place you'll return to again and again. Open only for breakfast and brunch, the name comes from a native fruit that grows in coastal areas from Maine to Virginia. Its transplanted owners serve up taste treats as varied as lemon ricotta pancakes and a &quot;wicked good&quot; lobster sandwich.


2.    Tin Leaf Fresh Kitchen


Tin Leaf Fresh Kitchen packs a lot of surprises onto its fresh, natural, home-style menu. Where else could you get seared Ahi tuna, &quot;Mom's meat loaf,&quot; great salads and homemade soups, as well as true Belgian-style fries with your choice of dipping sauces? It's healthy food for the most part, served with a chef-style sensibility.


3.    CYO - Pizza &amp; Salad


A third in this group is CYO or &quot;Craft Your Own,&quot; located at 2519 Palomar Airport Road, 101. It's the home of &quot;craft your own&quot; Pizza and Salad. Just try it -- we'll wager you'll love it Who would imagine Baked Potato Pizza? Lighter appetites will be swayed by the salad options. We love at stylish decor at these three sisters, as well.


4.    The Landings at McClellan Palomar Airport


Who can resist the patio and the planes of The Landings at Palomar Airport? Recently remodeled, this is a great spot to enjoy delicious food, watch the planes come in, and even hear local live music from time to time.


5.    Tip Top Meats


 This local butcher has been a staple of local life since 1967, with really good meats, poultry and sausages to eat on site or bring home. Eating at the market is one version of &quot;fresh to your table meals,&quot; but they'll also roast the Thanksgiving turkey to grace your at-home dining table.


6.    Argyle Steakhouse


Argyle Steakhouse at Park Hyatt Aviara has beautiful views of the Batiquitos Lagoon and Estuary. Pair the views with perfectly prepared steak with a fine wine and you’ll be enjoying Southern California dining at its best. Try their lighter fare for lunch after a round of golf or a relaxing massage at their luxurious spa. This is a true gem right in the heart of Aviara.


Bressi Ranch, Carlsbad


7.    Pizza Port Bressi Ranch


The newest and largest location of this quintessential southern California eatery, Pizza Port is located in the heart of Bressi Ranch at 2730 Gateway Rd. Enjoy fresh brews from Port Brewing Company crafted on site, or select from their large list of other quality craft brews on tap. Famous for their delicious pizzas – also available on wheat crust - and their chicken wings, Pizza Port offers a variety of salads and even homemade ice creams to enjoy.  This particular location was also featured on the TV show “Tanked” and has two fabulous fish tanks for the kids to enjoy, as well as video games and an outdoor patio.


8.    Board &amp; Brew


Informal and pleasant, with sumptuous-sounding sandwiches and other casual fare, good brew, and comfortable seating, it's a convenient place to meet up with friends any day of the week, any time of day. Also located in the heart of Bressi Ranch at 2675 Gateway Rd, this location is just one of its six locations, so you know they're doing a lot of things right. Other locations include Carlsbad Village, Del Mar, San Clemente, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Scripps Ranch.


9.    Tommy V's


Tommy V’s is a great gathering spot right in the heart of Bressi Ranch Village Center.  There is something for everyone -- from light appetizers to simple salads, artisan pizza to hearty steaks and chops. They also have a great Happy Hour to unwind with your neighbors.


Encinitas &amp; Others


10.    Naked Café – Encinitas, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, &amp; Loma Portal


This environmentally conscious and flavorful restaurant is great for everyone and has many vegetarian options. With the addition of their newest location in Encinitas, you’re close to a Naked Café no matter where you are in San Diego.  A wonderful breakfast and lunch place, we love it for quick meetings or for leisurely get-togethers. The food here is so good it's almost hard to believe that it's good for you


As a family-owned real estate company in this beautiful area, we are thrilled to have so many local, healthful choices available to us. We support our local friends in business, and hope you'll enjoy our picks. We love to share our favorite choices in food, but if you have questions about local real estate, please give us a call; we'll be happy to discuss your needs.
