Real Estate Market Report

At the end of the first quarter we always look back to see how the real estate market compares with the year before.  After a record breaking year in 2021 the real estate sales activity continued to deliver strong results.  The strong demand continued to drive sales prices up.  Click on link below for our Q1 Market Report

Our First Quarter Real Estate Market Report Q1

In our Carmel and Carmel Point market the average sales price was over $3.2 million which was similar to our 2021 market.  Currently the inventory continues to be at an all time low with only 11 listings available and 6 under contract. Since January 1st, 47 have sold, 3 of which are condos (through April 27th).

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.

Just Sold!

23675 Determine Lane, Monterey. Sold with multiple offers! Offered at $1,995,000

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.

Why is the Country Club area of Pebble Beach the choice of so many that move to the Monterey Peninsula?  I’m sure there are many reasons . . . for one thing, you can take a short lovely stroll and end up at the beach listening to the surf and enjoying a picnic or an amazing sunset!

It’s a quiet and serene way to live close to nature, yet it’s easy and quick to get to shopping in Pacific Grove or to Highway One to visit the other Monterey Peninsula cities.

It is a mecca for golf with both public and private courses minutes away.  Pacific Grove Golf Links “offers the most affordable golf on or near the Pacific Ocean”  The back nine has breath-taking views of the coast and the course also offers a pro shop and restaurant.

The famous Monterey Peninsula Country Club is a private club near by that hosts the AT&T Pro Am that will be taking place in early February 2016.  In addition to these courses there are many public courses in Pebble Beach as well as in the surrounding area.

The Country Club area is known for privacy as well as quiet.  The parcels are much larger than in nearby Pacific Grove.  For instance the lot size of the home at 1117 Sawmill Gulch Road is a quarter of an acre allowing space between neighbors.

Ok, back to why is this amazing home the Best Buy in Pebble Beach? I confess this is a bit subjective, but look at the facts.  It is priced at a reasonable $1,295,000 (just look at the prices of some of the others!) yet is beautifully remodeled.  The owners lovingly did extensive upgrades after they purchased the home updating the kitchen, baths, windows, flooring, fireplace, and installing new baseboards, crown moldings, French doors, skylights, and Casablanca fans.  They also upgraded the things you can ‘t see like the electrical, plumbing and outdoor drainage system.

Why do I love this home?  I love it’s flow. It’s all single level with one room easily flowing into the next.  Also, the vaulted ceilings in the living room give it a very spacious feel – you have a sense it is much larger than the 2123 SF it actually is.

And the gourmet kitchen is amazing!

I love to kick-back and the family room is my kind of place to do just that.  Numerous windows and skylights make it a bright, light room.

The 2-car garage is extra roomy with room for storage and a work bench even with 2 cars inside.  That would make my husband very happy :)

If I have peaked your curiosity Take a Complete Tour along with a video if you hang in there.  The floor plan and Feature list is also included with the Virtual tour.  Or . . . just come by one of the Open Houses this weekend and see for yourself!!  Of course, I am always available to give you a private tour.
