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.

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.

I’m sure every dog who lives on the Monterey Peninsula with their “person” feels like they have died and gone to heaven! The Dogs on our beautiful Peninsula come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and temperaments. Whether it’s . . .
Cute and cuddly
or large and sleek,
dogs rule the roost on the Monterey Peninsula. Carmel, for instance, has been voted the most “dog friendly” town. Everywhere you go whether it is to the beach, a bank, a restaurant with a patio
or even a real estate office
you will see dogs – sometimes they even sit for a spell!
Shunned in some areas dogs are given more attention here than people. If you want to meet new friends, just get yourself an adorable dog and walk down the street. You will make friends wherever you go, because people will stop you on the street and ooh and ah over your pooch. In fact they will ask you all about your dog and want to know every detail of his life and his eating habits.
At our Carmel Realty Company real estate office on Ocean Avenue in Carmel I watch not only streams of people going by, but streams of dogs. And sometimes they’ll even pose for a photo!
We love all kinds of dogs here, Golden retrievers, poodles
pugs,
cocker spaniels, and of course the lovable mutts that are “mixed breeds”. Sometimes they are the most lovable of all.
Sometimes we even build them fancy homes.

If you’d like visit the Monterey Peninsula and stay overnight accompanied by your doggie, have no fear, there are plenty of hotels to choose from like these Lodgings in Carmel .
Cypress Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea
The Cypress Inn located in Carmel was a pioneer in pet-friendly lodgings. The hotel until recently was co-owned by our beloved Doris Day who passed away in 2019. A true dog advocate.
I could go on and on about the benefits of being a dog here. Wherever your dog will wander there will be an array of water bowls, dog treats, and amenities to make sure he/she is comfortable and pampered. If he is stressed he can visit a dog psychologist or have a nice massage. Or perhaps a surf lesson to let it all hang out!
Carmel Beach is the place to romp in the surf with no leash laws. Let’s play!
