HAPPY Labor Day FROM CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA!

Best wishes for a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!  Hope you can take some time off to enjoy with family and friends.  Traditionally Labor Day has been the harbinger of summer ending, however, on the Monterey Peninsula our Indian summer is just beginning and is usually our best weather of the year.  

The Monterey Peninsula had an exciting August with “Car Week” front and center mid month.  Thousands of people enjoyed the amazing cars displayed and there was something for everyone from classic cars, muscle cars, sports cars, racing cars, and cars that reminded us of our youth.  I attended Prancing Ponies Car Show August 18th as a VIP guest and enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany’s chatting with all the fabulous women car owners who were showing their cars, and an amazing fashion show!

This incredible show was all coordinated by Chanterria McGilbra, the founder and executive director of Prancing Ponies Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to “Create Women Leaders One Girl At A Time” working with low income women helping them to succeed.

The Morning Beach ~ Delia Bradford

Another fun event for a very good cause was the Hearts of Carmel CA Unveiling Reception 2022.  Delia Bradford is shown here in front of the Carmel library with the heart she painted named “The Morning Beach”.  Seven local artists painted beautiful scenes on 7 hearts that are displayed around Carmel-by-the-Sea and are being auctioned off.  Carmel Foundation, a non-profit for our seniors,  will be one of the beneficiaries of this fundraiser.  Click on the link below to experience this fun event

How would you like to live in a home that cost $177 Million?

HIGHEST SALE IN CALIFORNIA ON RECORD

Yes, you heard right, $177 million – the highest sale ever in California history and second highest sale in the country has just transpired between fashion mogul, Serge Azria, as seller and Silicon Valley-based venture capitalist, Marc Andreessen, the buyer.

For those of us that have more simple tastes, it’s hard to imagine how one home can be worth so much to a person – but then – after all, it is in Malibu.

Real Estate as Usual, Almost ~ Carmel, Pebble Beach

Carmel and Pebble Beach Real Estate

After more than a year of Covid-19 restrictions, real estate is getting back to normal.  No more masks, booties, rubber gloves or hand sanitizers – and no more long legal forms for a buyer to sign in order to go in and see a property.  In other words, it’s not a chore to view a home for sale!

Broker tour is BACK and today was my first time back on the broker tour circuit viewing listings in Carmel and Pebble Beach.  It was a short tour – only 8 properties on tour in Carmel and Pebble Beach, but it’s a start.  The properties ranged from a mere $2, 079,000, a lovely home in Carmel Meadows, to a beautiful Pebble Beach estate priced at $28,500,000 with a breath-taking view.  Now that was some home, any takers?

So many of our clients come for the weekend, and stay for a lifetime!

Perhaps, it’s your time now!

New taxes for the wealthiest Americans? carmel ~ pebble beach

 

In a recent Inman News article it was stated that owners of luxury property are likely to see future changes in the tax code raising taxes on the wealthy.  These proposed changes are motivating a number of ultra high-net-worth individuals to sell before the changes take effect.

President Joe Biden is proposing these modifications to the tax code  as a way of funding the $1.8 trillion America Families Plan to help families with young children struggling with poverty.

Read the Inman News article below for all of the details.
