The best realtor for homes in La Jolla, Dane Soderberg, brings deep coastal experience (listed as 24 years on team profiles) and documented high-volume production, having sold over $100 million in the past 12 months.

Dane and her team have extensive experience and knowledge of the the La Jolla Neighborhoods, including:
Shores listings trade on indoor/outdoor flow and beach access. Dane’s marketing emphasizes those lifestyle features and times showings around tide and light for the best photography.
Walkability, dining, and school proximity matter here — pricing reflects both amenity access and tight inventory in turn-key pockets.
Privacy, lot size, and view premiums drive value; staging and targeted comps are critical to highlight usable outdoor spaces and sightlines.
Dane’s team has handled targeted new-product launches (for example, MUSE La Jolla marketing and unit sales), which demonstrates the ability to package and position new product for local buyers.
Neighborhood nuance changes staging and marketing: Shores campaigns lean into lifestyle photography and timing; Muirlands listings emphasize privacy and lot use; Village listings highlight walkability and proximity to schools and shops. Dane’s team matches marketing and showing strategy to micro-market signals so listings reach buyers most likely to respond quickly and at the right price.
The La Jolla housing market in 2025 stayed resilient, showing steady demand for coastal listings even as activity and inventory vary by submarket.
Median sale price: $2,417,500 (+6.3% YoY).
Average days on market: ~48 days.
List-to-sale price ratio: about 97–99%, with top-condition homes in prime streets still achieving at or above asking.
Months of inventory: roughly 3–4 months overall, with luxury oceanfront and ultra-high-end segments often sitting closer to 6+ months before selling.
High-end and oceanfront properties represent a thinner submarket with longer listing windows; well-priced turnkey homes in Village pockets typically sell faster. Mortgage-rate moves and seasonal cycles remain the main short-term demand drivers — when rates dip, qualified buyers re-enter coastal luxury submarkets quickly.
La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Village, and Muirlands are his core focus, with a strong track record in nearby coastal pockets as well. His portfolio spans both bluff-top homes and village condos, so he knows how different parts of La Jolla actually trade.
He builds a hyper-local CMA around your street, view line, and walkability, then adjusts for recent wins and misses in that micro-market. Pricing is set to match your goal, whether that is a quick, clean sale or pushing for a record within your segment.
Yes. His local network regularly surfaces quiet off-market, coming-soon, and agent-to-agent opportunities in La Jolla. Buyers who are pre-approved and ready to move quickly are the ones who can actually capitalize on those leads.
You can expect defined windows for inspections, appraisal, loan approval, and title work, with Dane’s team managing the calendar so nothing slips. They line up inspectors, contractors, and escrow/title partners early, which cuts down on surprises and last-minute renegotiations.
