YEAR END REPORT -- JANUARY TO JUNE, 2016
Here we are halfway through the year! A good time to review what our Monterey Peninsula real estate market has done so far in 2016...
Nothing seems to be slowing down the market activity in the Monterey Peninsula cities this year! Activity continues to be strong with a similar number of sales this year compared to the last 6 months of 2015. If fact ...in all markets list price to sales price ratio remains constant, days on market , the only thing that has changed is...the prices! This year seems to be a carbon copy of last year with good sales activity and increasing prices. There are a few differences:
Carmel-by-the-Sea has picked up the pace from last year where it lagged behind, and powered ahead of the pack with an amazing 17% price increase in the past 6 months! If you remember Carmel had been stagnant and in fact had shown some softening of values. Not so this year, with a solid price appreciation and a list price to sales price ratio of 95% with an average of 84 days on market. Average sales price is $2,011,156
Another surprise... Pacific Grove has stabilized and though it continues to have a very busy market, is showing little price appreciation at 1% for the year. List price to sales price ratio is 98% with 53 average days on market. Average sales price is $935,227.
Remaining the same with a slow but stable price appreciation is Monterey, with a reasonable 5% appreciation in the past 6 months over the prior 6 months. Average list price to sales price is 98% with 43 days on market and an average sale price of $783,618. Pebble Beach has also remained the same with .07% appreciation. Average list price is $1,881,981 with 94% list price to sale price ratio and 99 days on Market.
Looks like the days of price DEpreciation has ended and we are experiencing a nice period of appreciation again now for several years in a row... And we all hope it stays the way!!
