As mentioned, the apex of our market posted its first sale in over 2 years – a recently remodeled Contemporary near the Lodge, which closed off-market at $25.25M (16% off of List Price) after having sold for $28M in ’13. The other closed escrow included a Ranch style spec play on MPCC’s Shore Course, which sold for $2.26M (9% off of List Price) after being on the market for only 21 days.

The other new sale is a teardown in the Country Club East area, listed at $885K – essentially dirt value.

After a two year drought of no ocean or golf front sales in Pebble, the frontlines comes alive in ’18 with fashion – 3 in escrow by 2Q and 1 closed early on in Q3. The rest of the market was mixed this week as Carmel held steady while the outlining markets in the Highlands and Quail areas stalled (zero activity in both regions). Sunny skies and warm weather for the weekend – hope everyone can get out and enjoy it. As always, a few highlights from the week below:
No news to report in the Highlands or Quail/Preserve areas.
