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.

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

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!
