As realtors we always look back at the end of the year in preparation for going forward.As I am sure none of you need to be reminded, 2020 wasunprecedented.With a global COVID pandemic raging, along with social and political unrest, the country had its “hands full”.Locally here in March stay-at-home orders were mandated and real estate came to a screeching halt for the next couple of months.As realtors we adapted to the “No Showings” order by using additional video, virtual tours, Matterport 3- D tours and extensive Social Media. Out of necessity we found additional means to showcase our sellers’ properties.
When the order was lifted for essential services in May, showings by appointment only were allowed with buyers wearing booties, masks, and rubber gloves.We did everything possible to keep everyone safe.The pent up demand took off and the local real estate market experienced a major surge in business.All 9 markets my company tracks had a significant increase in demand with multiple offers becoming the norm when properties would come on the market.Our annual report is attached. The statistics and commentary tell this story – each market a little different, but all showing significant increases. I encourage you to take a look.
What’s in store now is everyone’s question. In my view, it’s a new dawn, a new day, and a new 2021! I’m very optimistic.Yes, January has begun slower than we’d like and there is still a stay-at-home order in place, but interest rates are still low and the country is making strides on getting people vaccinated for Covid.The new Administration is making this a top priority and there is an additional stimulus bill on the horizon.The silver lining of the pandemic may be that many of our buyers have found they can live on the Monterey Peninsula and work remotely increasing the number of full time families in our community.
If you seek to explore new changes in your life real estate-wise, I’m here to assist in any way I can. Call me to talk or just say hello.I love hearing from my clients and friends.
Today I’m thinking of you. I’m wishing you a safe, healthy, and peaceful Memorial Day. I am grateful for all those who have given and sacrificed so much for us.
At Carmel Realty Company we take treating our clients well very seriously. When I first speak with a client, I always tell them to consider me your realtor for life. I take relationships seriously as does the company I work for. Enter “Car Week” ! Always a delight for all and a chance to meet new friends and clients who want to learn more about our fabulous Monterey Peninsula.
This year Carmel Realty Company hosted two fabulous parties at oceanfront properties where guests could experience how amazing the lifestyle can be in this idyllic community.
Our Thursday night party during “Car Week” was held at Villa Edendel Mar on 17 Mile Drive, one of our amazing properties for sale. It was described in 1925 as “A Spanish Palace by the Sea” and has long been considered one of the most renowned homes on the Monterey Coast. Guests enjoyed Quintessa wine and delicious light bites from Grasing’s, one of Carmel’s finest restaurants.
How spectacular this was to be able to invite my guests to such a fabulous party!
Although the home was open for all to tour, guests seemed to linger on the back patio where the view of the Pacific Ocean was “to die for”. The weather was warm ~ everything was just about perfect.
Debbie and Walter, clients from Shreveport, LA, loved the party and the Pebble Beach lifestyle! They are looking forward to when they can move here. I think our party at this breath-taking location convinced anyone who was considering a move or having a second home here to take the steps!
No one had to convince me that night! I love the Monterey Peninsula lifestyle and still have to pinch myself – after living here 20 years – that I am just where I want to be – and it’s perfect!
Since parking was limited, Carmel Realty had arranged with Rolls Royce to have their amazing cars available to shuttle guests to their cars parked at another listing close by. Walter being a car buff loved checking out the Rolls. Thank you Rolls Royce!
I kind of liked checking out the fantastic cars, also. But I do prefer the convertible!
Thinking about having a place here? Call me and let’s chat. We have homes in all price ranges and I would love to help you find your dream home or getaway – just perfect for you!
