Today marks the longest day and shortest night of the year – Summer Solstice. The sun is in peak position in the sky, which occurs when one of the planet’s poles reaches the maximum tilt toward the sun. What does your midsummer celebration entail? If you’re interested in dinner, Alta Bakery in Monterey has a BBQ tonight and there’s a dinner at Cima Collina in Carmel Valley (both occurring at 6:30PM). Earthbound Farm has a free summer kickoff event involving flower and tree plantings, crafts, yoga, and food which is scheduled for Saturday from 11:00AM-4:00PM. We hope you enjoy a sunny start to the summer season! As always, below please find an update from our local real estate market – we had 7 closings and 8 new sales this week, reporting steady activity in our subject regions across the board:
