Please excuse the August market update being so late this month- We had some technical difficulties with our website’s back end that took quite awhile to resolve. Back in business now! Just a quick breakdown of the market for this month….
August brought with it a slowing of new home sales that is typical as we break into the Fall quarter. Specifically, Carmel Valley and Pebble Beach new activity dropped to about half, which is due in part to the low inventory we’ve been experiencing. Pebble Beach had a couple big sales- 2 closed at $7.178M and $8M, respectively, and another new sale at 3371 17 Mile Drive for $12.75M. It will be interesting to see at what number it closes, and of course it’s nice to see the high-end market continue to get traction even with a general, seasonal slowing in Pebble Beach real estate. The Carmel Highlands, for being such a small area, continue to get activity in the high-end range with another closed sale at 169 Spindrift for $10.5M. And as always, the “bread and butter” of our area, Carmel and Carmel-by-the-Sea, proper, maintained with steady closed and new sales, and 3 closed sales in the Golden Rectangle.
Below are your August statistics. As always please send any market questions or friends my way. Take care.
