From the desk of Nicole Truszkowski, your Weekly Luxury Market Report for Carmel and Pebble Beach Real Estate for the week of May 6th, 2016.

It’s officially May, April showers brought May flowers, along with buyers in search of the perfect get away home on the Monterey Peninsula. During the last week of April, Carmel continued to dominate the market, while Pebble Beach activity stalled. On a different note, we released our first quarterly report for 2016, covering all the communities along the Monterey Peninsula, and it’s no big surprise to report that average list price is the highest it’s been in 5 years! Other interesting tidbits: the average sales price is 15% above the average sales price of Q1 of 2015, and lastly the discount ratio is the most favorable it’s been in over 5 years at 91%.
