The Monterey Peninsula’s real estate market experienced a strong start to 2025. The overall market saw a 14.6% increase in home sales this quarter versus Q1 of last year. In addition, a small 4.9% increase in average sales price led to a 19.7% rise in total sales dollar volume when compared to last year. During Q1, Pebble Beach saw a surge in the entry market, experiencing 15 home sales under $3M. While Carmel-by-the-Sea was a bit slower than usual in Q1, the Carmel Highlands area saw four strong sales during the quarter and added eleven active listings. Though higher-priced homes across the market continued to sell slower than usual in Q1, during the first few days of April our company represented three sides on two amazing sales in Carmel. One sale just off Scenic Road sold for $13M and another on the beach in Carmel sold for $17.5M.
