Carmel Valley pricing slipped in mid 2007 and early 2008 and then suffered an additional decline from late 2008 through the spring of 2009. By giving back value early, Carmel Valley pricing while not appreciating did appear to have found a plateau in 2010 into early 2011 with a slip in values in late 2011.

In fact, we have a government authority that is in charge of water, called the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) which was formed in June of 1978. To use water on the Monterey Peninsula, including Carmel, Carmel Valley, and Pebble Beach, one needs a permit from the MPWMD.

Water Stay Lifted on Monterey County Water Use
The water situation on the Monterey Peninsula (Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pacific Grove, Monterey, Pebble Beach) is about as clear as mud– so stay with me for a quick synopsis and an update. Cal-Am, the local water company, is violating a number of orders/laws/regulations by “over pumping” the Carmel River. Most of the restrictions have to do with protecting the Steel Head breading that occurs in the river. This over pumping/water shortage is the basis for the existence of the Monterey … Continue reading Water Stay Lifted on Monterey County Water Use

The Santa Lucia Preserve, A Brief History
I took some clients to the Santa Lucia Preserve this weekend to look at both lots and finished homes for sale. It is a truly beautiful place. To most folks “The Preserve” brings to mind the award winning Tom Fazio golf course and the exceptional homes that are found behind the Preserve gate. However, for those with homes and lots within the 20,000 acres “The Preserve” describes much more. A Bit of History Before the arrival of the Spanish missionaries, … Continue reading The Santa Lucia Preserve, A Brief History
