Pebble Beach Real Estate
Pebble Beach saw two new homes hit the market this past week, one of note; a beautiful 22 million dollar estate that sits on the 12th green of the Pebble Beach golf links. Situated on 2.4 acres, with dramatic golf course and ocean views, showcasing 8300 square feet and 7 bedrooms. This home was on the market 6 years ago for 24 million. The recent record sale in Pebble Beach this week should make these homeowners giddy.
Three homes went pending; including a custom home located on the 16th fairway of the MPCC shore course, listed for 3.99 million, spent 132 days on the market, and is scheduled to close early May. The community is a buzz with the exciting news that Peter Read sold his home on 17-mile drive for $28 million dollars this week. Originally listed for 35 Million in July of 2015, it was removed from the MLS at the end of 2015. This off market sale qualifies as one of the record sales for Monterey County, great news for property owners who are lucky enough to own one of the ONLY 31 oceanfront properties in Pebble Beach. Three other homes sold this past week in Pebble Beach, including a Spanish Bay condo listed for 3.7 million, spent 17 days on the market, and sold for 3.65 million.

Carmel Real Estate
Carmel Real estate boasts 9 new listings this past week. One of notable mention is the 9.2 million dollar listing called “Briga-dune” or “the Yellow House.” Situated on .20 acres and only 1533 square feet it’s being offered at a mind blowing 6001 dollars per square foot, and guess what, it needs a complete remodel! Yikes, add in remodeling costs, and this might break a world record for most expensive home per square foot. Note the actual physical address is 5 Sand & Sea, located literally on the beautiful white sands of Carmel Beach. It’s been 45 years since this property last graced the market; here is a once in a lifetime remodel opportunity, in one of the world’s most coveted locations. Proof of desirability and value is the fact that 7 Sand & Sea situated next door went pending sale after only 65 days on the market. A local homebuilder recently remodeled from top to bottom, every inch of this 2665 square foot contemporary designed property. It hit the market with a list price of 13.5 million, that’s a whopping 5254 dollars per square foot. I predict the final sales price of 7 Sand and See to be near 10 million dollars, or 3752 per square foot! Wow the Yellow House owners are maybe out of their mind at that list price, hum this will be an interesting listing to follow!
In addition to 7 Sand & Sea, 6 other luxury homes went pending this past week, and lastly 3 properties closed escrow. A home located on Mesa in the Hatton Fields neighborhood, listed for 1.325 million, spent 16 days on the market and sold for 1.225 million.
