As we move into July there are nearly 350 homes for sale in Carmel (Carmel-by-the-Sea and the surrounding area), with properties taking over 180 days to sell.

As the Carmel real estate market has softened I have seen buyers shift their attention from areas such as Carmel Woods or south east neighborhoods of Carmel-by-the-Sea to closer to town and into the “golden rectangle.” Properties are still selling in all neighborhoods but buyers are looking for the perfect home or the near perfect deal. Pricing is an important component of what is selling, and how long it is taking. Correctly pricing a home for sale is more important than ever.

Market Profile

Carmel remains firmly at the “buyer’s market” end of the spectrum.  Successful sellers are those that adjust to the changing market by preparing their homes as completely as possible for presentation to buyers and by pricing their homes to differentiate themselves from the competition. If a home meets a buyer’s needs, they should submit a well prepared offer with supporting comparables.

The Market Action Index

The Market Action Index (MAI) measures available supply relative to the current level of demand. Index values above 30 indicate conditions favor sellers, below 30 favors buyers.

Median Price Per Square Foot

Homes in Carmel are not typically priced by “square foot” as there can be a 1,600 square foot home worth $900,000 a block from a home exactly the same size that might be worth $1,800,000. Nevertheless, median and average price per square foot are useful for seeing trends.

Looking at the market by Quartiles

To more accurately describe the sub-markets within Carmel, I report the median price in quartiles. The most expensive 25% of homes make up the first quartile, the next 25% the third quartile, the next 25% the third, and the least expensive 25% are the fourth quartile.
