Carmel/Pebble Beach Market Report Q-1/American Dream TV

 

2NW Junipero & 3rd/ Sold, Represented Seller

Let’s talk real estate. We’ll first look back and then look forward to what’s to come. I’d like to share with you our 1st Quarter report for all of our different areas on the Monterey Peninsula and surrounding areas.

We started the year with a slow start – but then who wants to go shopping for a house in the pouring rain and windy weather. Not only weather, but high interest rates, economic pressures, and geopolitical concerns affected the market for the entry level buyers, move-up sellers, and luxury buyers and sellers.

Cautious – I think would be a good way to describe buyers and sellers during the first 3 months of 2024.

Now that we’re almost at the end of April, we’re seeing many more listings and purchases taking place. These are all good signs of a revitalizing real estate market, even though the interest rates have not adjusted down to where buyers were hoping. We are seeing many more sales, more inventory coming on, and listings staying on the market for a shorter time length. What will the future hold? These good signs show a positive shift in the real estate market. However, keeping it real, we have wars going on in Europe, a presidential election coming up, and everyday costs rising. Time will tell if this “spring buying season” continues to heat up and I’m guessing it will. There is a pent up demand of people who want to move and that’s what makes the “real estate world” go around.

Lifestyle, Community, and Real Estate

A real show focused on positivity and the stories of our neighborhoods. Are you ready for some positive media about our amazing community?

For those that caught my last post,  thank you for all your kind words of encouragement for my new venture as a new TV Host for the American Dream TV. The first segment was a lot of fun to film (however I was a bit nervous!). This weekend the  30 minute show premiered and is now streaming on the following platforms, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Fire tv, Apple TV, Roku, YouTube Movies & TV, Tubi. If you missed my segment in the last newsletter, you can see it below.

There was one part of the segment, that everyone commented on. It was my visit to Dutch Door Donuts. I never thought people would get such a kick out of watching me eat a donut!

I need your help!

The executive producer said specifically that they are looking for me to interview and share the stories of the biggest movers and shakers, innovators, CEO’s, philanthropists, creatives, and business owners in our Carmel/Monterey Peninsula area. I want to interview those making a positive impact on our community as the show is meant to combat negative media with real and positive stories. WHO should I look to feature on this show? Please email or text me with your ideas. 

Also, for the real estate component, I’ll be featuring some of my real estate listings on the show which will get thousands of views. You must know someone who is thinking of selling their home this spring. I’d love your introduction.

Until next time . . . I love your feedback and if you know of anyone who needs expert real estate services, please let me know. I would love to represent some other great clients, JUST LIKE YOU!

Spring time is full of new beginnings and I have exciting news to share with you! I have been selected to host a national TV show (American Dream TV), with Emmy nominated producers, about Real Estate, Lifestyle, and Community representing Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula. This is a very unique opportunity for a select few and I am honored to be part of representing Carmel.

The show will be airing on the streaming platforms of Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Fire tv, Apple TV, Roku, YouTube Movies & TV, Tubi, and  – coming soon – the Travel Channel! And even bigger news is that ADTV will soon be aired on the HGTV Network!

Of course, I’ll be sure to send you my segment once it airs and a lot will happen on Social Media, where I’ll repurpose the content for you to see.

WELCOME PEBBLE BEACH AT&T PRO AM GOLF TOURNAMENT VISITORS!!

It may be “Crosby Weather” (cold & rainy) this year, but the AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament is a totally new format. Gone are the crazy days of Bill Murray’s antics and celebrity players that we could all ogle at, we’re into some serious golf now. The PGA has been under a lot of pressure lately to make their tournaments more attractive to pro golfers to prevent more exodus to LIV – but I’m not going to get into that story. Suffice it to say, the PGA has turned our “Crosby Clambake” into a Signature event with a $20 million dollar purse with the winner taking $5 million home. Not saying this is good or bad – it’s just different. Our local charities will still be the winner with hopes of topping the $18 million that went to local non-profits last year.                                           

Carmel Realty Company will be there tomorrow entertaining some of our clients at a special VIP party at one of our luxury listings on the 12th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Take a look at last year’s event in this Short Video .
