Carmel Valley Residential Market Snapshot

Carmel Valley pricing slipped in mid 2007 and early 2008 and then suffered an additional decline from late 2008 through the spring of 2009. By giving back value early, Carmel Valley pricing while not appreciating did appear to have found a plateau in 2010 into early 2011 with a slip in values in late 2011. Much of the pricing variability is in the highest end of the market, discussed below.  The “Valley” is the most geographically diverse of our markets … Continue reading Carmel Valley Residential Market Snapshot

Secret Listings of Homes for Sale

There is no question that listing a home on the Multiple Listing Service is the most effective way to present a property to the greatest number of buyers. However, some sellers are looking at the market and opting to make their Carmel or Pebble Beach homes “discretely available” through our website, mailings, and agent networks.

Happy Holidays!  Along with Christmas presents, some Buyers were busy snapping up Carmel homes as 7 properties went into escrow this week, quite a robust showing.  Prices ranged from $1.7M to $475K with most neighborhoods in Carmel represented.  The notable exception was the Golden Rectangle but this is likely an anomaly rather than a trend as the Golden Rectangle is typically a very active neighborhood for sales.  A short sale in the Carmel Point area closed escrow at $1.8M and … Continue reading This week in Carmel and Pebble Beach…..
