Real Estate Market Report

At the end of the first quarter we always look back to see how the real estate market compares with the year before.  After a record breaking year in 2021 the real estate sales activity continued to deliver strong results.  The strong demand continued to drive sales prices up.  Click on link below for our Q1 Market Report

Our First Quarter Real Estate Market Report Q1

In our Carmel and Carmel Point market the average sales price was over $3.2 million which was similar to our 2021 market.  Currently the inventory continues to be at an all time low with only 11 listings available and 6 under contract. Since January 1st, 47 have sold, 3 of which are condos (through April 27th).

Carmel-by-the-Sea’s white sand beach

The Pebble Beach market was unlike any we have seen before Q1.  Total dollar value was up 40% from Q4 2021 due to several higher priced homes.  The number of sales was down with only 25 sales.  I guess I should consider myself lucky to have sold one of them!  Congratulations to Dean and Helen!

Sold! 1044 Lost Barranca, Pebble Beach ~ Multiple offers over asking!

The Country Club West area of Pebble Beach continues to be one of the most popular areas in Pebble Beach.  Most sales attract multiple buyers and sell for over the list price.  My listing at 1044 Lost Barranca which just sold was true to form.  I received multiple offers from buyers and we negotiated a price quite a bit over asking for very happy sellers.

In the multiple offer market it is very important for a seller to be represented by a savvy realtor who understands and is experienced in negotiating in this challenging multiple offer real estate market place.  Thinking of selling?  Call me and let’s discuss how I can help you negotiate the highest possible price for your property.

Just Sold!

23675 Determine Lane, Monterey. Sold with multiple offers! Offered at $1,995,000

Congratulations to John and Eileen who I was able to assist in selling their home for a great price with multiple offers AND referred them to a great realtor in Thousand Oaks where they relocated.  They were able to move from one beautiful home directly into their next!  Who says that can’t be done in this. market?

From a buyer’s stand point it’s also very important to work with a savvy negotiator, because it means whether or not you beat out your competition and get your home.  Call me and let’s discuss how I can help you buy your home at the best possible price.
