"Pebble Beach and Carmel will continue to perform strongly in 2021 building on the market velocity and rising prices of 2020. We don’t see anything slowing down. People are craving the ability to get outside and recreate all-year-round and love the comfort of a smaller community setting with modern amenities. That combined with our close proximity to the economy of the Bay Area will keep the Monterey Peninsula as a top choice for primary and secondary residences." - Mark Peterson, Pebble Beach/Carmel, CA.

“'Blessed' is how I feel and look at Real Estate in Redwood City and the surrounding Peninsula.  2021 will continue to be impressive with low-interest rates and eager buyers.  Single-family homes still see multiple offers and the slow down in the condo and townhome market is still moving at a reasonable pace.  Safety with clients is still a priority as we adjusted and maintained a stellar market which will continue into 2021 with prices still going up.  Wishing you all a Happy Holiday and a Healthy, Joyful and Prosperous 2021!" - Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA.

“With the widespread adoption of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see a mass exodus from San Francisco/Silicon Valley – one of the wealthiest regions in the world – of buyers coming to the azure blue waters of Lake Tahoe to purchase homes.  While tech giants continue to dangle the ultimate perk of being able to work from home indefinitely, the migration will continue to maintain our exceptionally robust market through 2021.” - Mark Salmon, South Tahoe, CA.

• Kris Zacuto: Top producing agent for over five years with Hilton and Hyland in Playa Vista, CA and the surrounding areas
• Justin Alexander: Founder of the Alexander Group, with over $1.5 billion in sales over the past 3 years from Laguna Beach to Beverly Hills, CA

Watch the webinar below.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Kris Zacuto: "As what everyone is saying of moving to bigger yards, people are leaving Playa Vista, even if just one zip code over. But what's interesting is we that are having a new group of people that are coming in. So it's not vacancies that we are seeing but rather a reshuffling, people leaving and coming... In this moment, it's more evident than ever that being an expert or specialist is a key takeaway... The broker to broker relationships are really important. That has been vital over the last couple of months."

Justin Alexander: "The overall sense is that people want to be anywhere they can be outdoors. If they can drive to the beach within 20 minutes, that's what they're looking for... The luxury real estate market in LA is not going to disappear, even with a pandemic... If someone comes to me and says they want to buy a house now, there is no waiting. Real estate is a top demand in LA... If you can be that little bit of light that gives someone perspective that things are going to stay strong in real estate, people will get through it. Inspire when you can."

Wendy Gragg: "The demand from LA is stronger than the supply we have available, and people are lining up and waiting... We had the highest number of pending sales in escrow in July ever, and that all is going to translate into closed sales, so I continue to anticipate seeing these kind of record-setting numbers... Santa Barbara is a small oceanfront community, so anything that a buyer is looking for, we have. You're within minutes to the beach and mountain hiking. We have wonderful weather and outdoor dining."

Dana Bambace: "We have been inundated with buyer demand since the end of April. We are a market where we would never see multiple offers or over asking, and now we are. The demand on the inventory is crazy.  I feel that we will continue to have demand through the Fall... When people found out that their kids were going to be remote learning, we got buyers coming in looking for compounds in Carmel. It has been a very interesting time, and I'm grateful. It's an community and I'm happy people want to choose it."

Anne-Britt Østlund: "I was telling my clients to just wait, that it would come back. I thought we had until the end of June, but it started right out the bat towards the end of May and we are breaking records. Total sales volume for this summer is up 92%... Because rates are so low, sellers are not accepting offers contingent on loans because they take too long. Even though the rates are so great, it's in the buyers' interest to offer cash... Buyers right now are the real deal. They are not wasting time."

How has the luxury real estate market in your area been performing so far in 2020?

Carmel-by-the-Sea is performing really well in the $2-$3.5M segment with limited inventory and a lot of homes selling off-market before getting to MLS. The $5M+ market has been a little slow to start. As a second home market, home purchases are discretionary so buyers need to really see the property they love. Pebble Beach has been really strong for the past three years and the start to the year was a little quieter. But we’re seeing it pick back up.

Photo Credit: Ron Bird Photography

What are buyers looking for in their homes in Pebble Beach/Carmel in 2020?

People want finished homes that are move-in ready. Contemporary looks and current finishes. Coastal and airy hues and tones. Especially as a predominantly second-home market; buyers want homes that they can start enjoying right away. They don’t have the time or desire to take on a remodeling project that could take a couple of years. We are counseling sellers and working with them to get their homes as turn-key as possible. Nine out of 10 buyers don’t have the vision for seeing past sellers' personal items or envisioning how a home could be refreshed. We need to get homes ready that speak to buyers upon their first launch and debut.

Which has been a highlight sale for you so far in 2020?

We’re really just getting started with the year, and had a number of closings and a large number of homes in contract. Some fabulous properties. But our highlight thus far hasn’t been the largest sale, but more about how we’ve been able to help both sellers and buyers. One seller, we refreshed her home with Compass Concierge and had a quick sale that “changed her life." She was able to sell her property and move on to the next chapter of her life. We also have had a couple of young families move here from the Bay Area that made a conscious decision to improve their quality of life. Those are the really rewarding highlights thus far.

Are there any new restaurants or other spots in your market you’ve been loving lately?

Enjoying a sunset by the firepits at Spanish Bay with the bagpiper is always a great way to wrap up a day and kick off the evening. There are so many great restaurants depending on your cravings. We’re pretty excited about a couple of market/ restaurants still being built out that showcase our region’s farm-fresh leadership for the country. Roughly 70 percent of the country’s leafy greens are grown here. We’re fortunate to have farmers’ markets seven days a week and a bounty of fresh seafood for chefs to always create seasonal menus.

Photo Credit: Dana Bambace and Mark Peterson

It’s time for spring break. What is a fun activity in your market?

We’re all about getting outside and all of the recreational opportunities. Getting out for a hike or stroll on the beach is always available. But with a little more time, we love heading down the coast towards Big Sur. The mountains are lush and green and the sand on the beaches is crystal white. After a hike, it's always fun to wrap up with a snack or drink at Nepenthe Restaurant.
