Monterey Bay Aquarium Celebrating 40 years!

I’m been volunteering at the Monterey Bay Aquarium since 2017 and have loved every minute of it! The MBAquarium just celebrated its 40th anniversary. Wow! 40 years of inspiring conservation of the ocean and providing an educational facility for all to learn about the ocean – kids and adults alike.

Q-2 /2024 Market Update | Carmel ~ Pebble Beach

Carmel coastline

Our Q-2 real estate market report is here! And, we have great news to report! On the Monterey Peninsula we saw the number of sales increase, sales volume increase, average sales price increase, inventory increase, and days on market decrease. After a slow start in the beginning of the year and a lot of rainy weather, in Q-2 we saw three of the busiest months in real estate over the last two years. The sun is now shining, town is busy and summer is in full swing. Our report is broken down into individual areas since each area has its own stats so check out the areas most important to you and read the full Q-2 Market Overview which gives good insight into Monterey Peninsula real estate as a whole.

As always, if I can help with any of your real estate needs, don’t hesitate to call me. I would love to help you achieve your goals, your desires, and your dreams.

 

 

American Dream ~ Alive and Well in Carmel CA

As some of you already know, I’ve been chosen as an American Dream TV Host for the Carmel and Monterey Peninsula area. American Dream TV highlights local businesses, community stories, and real estate and spreads positive news about what’s happening in our communities. 

Partner with me to help support local businesses by featuring them on a National TV show! This exposure not only highlights the unique offerings of our community, but also drives increased traffic and interest to these businesses. Additionally, if you’re looking to sell your home, or know someone who is, featuring it on a National TV Show can dramatically increase it appeal. By being a part of this venture, you can actively contribute to the prosperity of our small business owners in the area and help your home gain valuable publicity, fostering economic growth and community pride.

American Dream TV can be viewed on many of the national streaming services and also online at “ameriandreamnetwork.tv” or you can always view my segments on my You Tube Channel at www.youtube.com/@carmelrealtor.  So far two of my segments have aired and the third is “Coming Soon”! See the links below to enjoy the current segments available – you will see many of our local businesses and community members featured.
