Carlsbad has plenty of homes for sale. Buyers kept saving this one 3.2 times more than the rest.

This single-level home in Spinnaker Hill caught more attention than almost anything else we scored this week. It picked up 128 saves on Zillow, well above what most listings see. That works out to 3.2 times the average save count among this week's finalists. I've got buyers set up on alerts for homes just like this one, and I'll let them know about it too. A no-step home with ocean views doesn't come up often, and buyers noticed.

A single-level home with ocean views from four rooms at once

This is a one-level home, no steps anywhere, with ocean views from the family room, living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom. It's been renovated top to bottom, with a kitchen built to be the gathering spot and a primary suite with a spa-style bathroom and a big walk-in closet. The other three bedrooms are good sized too, room for family, guests, or an office. It's under a mile to Carlsbad Campgrounds and Ponto Beach, close to shops and restaurants, and there's no HOA.

From the listing: “Rarely does a home like this become available in Spinnaker Hill, one of Carlsbad 92011’s most desirable coastal communities.”
