Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate mothers.  If you’re a mother yourself, best wishes for a very special day!  It’s also a time to celebrate and pay tribute to our own mothers.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

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.

Happy Mother’s Day! Carmel ~ Pebble Beach ~ or wherever you are!

Mr. Lincoln, my mother’s favorite rose

Today is Mother’s Day, a day we pay tribute not only to our own mothers, but to all the mothers of the world who give birth, who nurture their children, and who take care of their families.

Whether you live on the Monterey Peninsula or where ever, enjoy this day and celebrate! This is an unusual Mother’s Day and you may be celebrating in a different way than usual.  No fancy brunches, no eating out even and you may be miles away from your mother.  You may be talking to your mother on zoom, or face time, or just the phone.  However you communicate, you can still let them know they are deeply loved and appreciated.  God bless mothers everywhere.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Remembering Mother on Mother’s Day ~ Pacific Grove CA

Even though Mother is no longer with me on this earth, I still feel her presence and her love.  That is the magic of motherhood.  I think Leo Buscaglia had it right.

“I know for certain
that we never lose the people we love,
even to death.
They continue to participate in every act,
thought and decision we make.
Their love leaves an indelible imprint
in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing
that our lives have been enriched
by having shared their love.”

Yes, that is so right.  The memories, the teachings, and the love will live on forever.

Mother’s favorite flower was the rose.  On her last Mother’s Day I filled her home with roses and flowers and planted blooming roses outside of the windows.

Now this rose garden is a living memorial to her and the wonderful gift of love she gave me all my life.

Happy Mother’s Day,  Mother!

And Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there.

May your day be filled with love, joy, laughter, and happiness!
