2012 is already well under way!!   I trust the New Year has started off well for you and your family.    The local real estate market jumped into the New Year with a great amount of positive energy!  I personally had three properties in escrow within the first week of the New Year.   Those clients, just like many others, finally moved off the sidelines and were ready to take advantage of the great prices and deals available, not to mention the … Continue reading Looking Back at 2011 – Year-over-Year Sales Review – Monterey Peninsula
