The local market experienced a slower week than last week, but activity remained steady with 4 closed escrows (2 in Pebble Beach, 2 in Carmel) and 5 new sales (3 in Pebble, 2 in Carmel). Below please find a recap from the week:

The top closed escrow was a newly constructed contemporary style home with ocean views near the Golf Academy (sale price: $7.5M, 5.7% off list price, DOM = 93). The other closing in Pebble was a partially updated contemporary home in Country Club West close to MPCC and Spanish Bay which sold after 2 days on the market (sale price: $1.199M, 7.6% off list price).
