Pebble Beach AT&T—and How It Impacts Real Estate
The AT&T Golf Tournament mostly escaped rain on Friday and Saturday with 24 year old Dustin Johnson taking the lead.

True story of a Carmel Home Buyer
I recently put another Carmel home in escrow. I had been working with these clients for quite some time-looking for their perfect house. As with many buyers, my clients were hesitant to make a move given the economic uncertainty and credit crisis. However, when they found their house, it was clear that the time to buy was now. We knew this because several months ago I set them up on my Private Client MLS system and together we have been … Continue reading True story of a Carmel Home Buyer

Better Here Than Elsewhere, But…. Nearly all of our markets are discretionary. People choose to live here. When they come to the Peninsula, buyers are often acting on their dream of owning a second, or even a third home. Most of our buyers are sophisticated and successful and pay attention to appreciation potential and the cost of money. They track the market and pay attention to statistics. Given the lack of urgency, many buyers are holding back in hopes … Continue reading 15 Oct. 2008, The Carmel, Pebble Beach and Area Markets from 10,000 Feet
