Carmel & Pebble Beach Real Estate December Newsletter

Dear Friends, We finally had some rain! Two separate storm fronts in the last month, and even a multi-day storm expected to roll in tomorrow. All I can say is we NEEDED it. With some of our water well tests coming back over the Summer at less than positive numbers, we could use some help with the local water table. Anything to push those raw land deals along! This past Friday evening, Carmel held the...

November Newsletter

Dear Friends, As the days grow shorter, the nights colder and the holidays nearer, some buzz persists in our quaint little town. This last weekend was the annual Big Sur Food & Wine festival, and we headed out to the Grand Tasting at Pfeiffer State Park with some good friends to celebrate life and the pursuit of happiness. Back in town, clear Winter skies proved good beach weather for us locals and...

September Newsletter

What a month we've had! Some great sales, prime new listings, even better clients and the Summer still shows no sign of slowing down. As some may know and some not, Carmel & Pebble Beach weather gets better as we get out of Summer and into Fall, and better yet as we edge into the holidays. Indian Summer is upon us and the tourists and would-be buyers are still flooding in to join us in our quaint...

August Newsletter

As I ran down Bird Rock this morning, in the Country Club West area of Pebble, I couldn't help thinking how fortunate we are to experience such an incredible area. I grew up in Carmel Valley, going to the Beach Club with my mom and dad when sunny days permitted, but as I ran along 17 Mile, watching the waves in the fog today, I couldn't have felt more blessed. What a special place! Each of our magnificent...

July Newsletter

Well, Fourth of July came and went without a hitch. Since we have in recent years been without the annual fireworks display, many locals travel out of town to the Bay Area and beyond for their pyrotechnic fix. Others still sneak down to Carmel Beach and Still Water Cove in Pebble Beach in search of an opportunity to set off a few bottle rockets or Roman Candles. I still recall heading down to Carmel Beach...

Ryan Melcher Properties May Newsletter

Dear Friends, The season is upon us! While the real estate season is in full thrust, so is Summer! We all kicked off a week ago (Memorial Day) with backyard BBQ's and Memorial Day parades, enjoying with gratitude the freedoms that so many of us take for granted the other 364 days out of the year. If not for the great sacrifice of those that have fought so bravely over the years, I might not have the...

April Market Report

Dear Friends, Real estate picked up again during April, the close of tax season. I'm happy to report that new listings and more active buyers have followed, including a new listing that I brought to market yesterday in the Miramonte area of the Valley, next door to Bernardus Lodge. I have a good feeling about this season; it should be a great time to list with Summer in front of us and healthy real estate...

Market Comments ~ Week of 4/21- 4/27

I apologize that I was unable to write my weekly comments last Monday. Here are my comments and the activity from last week- Carmel had a total of 4 closed transactions; I continue to see the higher prices captured on Carmel Point, versus the Golden Rectangle. We had a closing for $3.3M on the backside of Carmel Point (not even the prime Point area) at 26276 Camino Real, which was a meticulous home of...
