We have great news to report in the real estate market on the Monterey Peninsula. In the second quarter of the year, we saw the number of sales increase, sales volume increase, average sale prices increase, inventory increase and days on market decrease. Clearly, in this quarter the rain clouds lifted from above the Monterey Peninsula and so did the slow start to the year. Looking back at Q1, January and February gave some of the quietest months we have seen in years. March started a measurable recovery in both new listings and sales. This surge continued throughout the second quarter across the entire Peninsula resulting in three of the busiest months in real estate over the last two years. The sun is now shining, town is busy, and summer is in full swing.

From the first conversation to close - a long, sometimes challenging, and occasionally stress-filled journey - his calm demeanor, consultative approach, thoughtful, and unfailingly courteous communication (something of a lost art) established the tone and ...
