The Tastier Side of Big Sur

Big Sur is enjoying all things delicious with the second annual Big Sur Food & Wine Festival, which supports the recovery efforts for Big Sur and Napa Valley.  The local market had a robust couple of weeks since the start of Q4 with a fair amount of activity across the board for both of the last couple of weeks.


Pebble’s market saw an uptick in activity over the last two weeks with 6 closed escrows and 6 new sales – a sign that Q4 is off to a strong start.  The top closed escrow came from the heart of the MPCC area on Matador – a custom designed Mediterranian style home with high-end finishes that closed at $3.25M (10% off of List Price).  The other closed escrows included a Spanish Colonial style home in the Country Club West area that sold for $2.075M (6% off of List Price); a turn-key spec play on a quiet MPCC street that closed at $1.756M (7% off of List Price); a partially updated ranch style home in the Country Club East area that sold for $1.51M (5% off of List Price); a mid-century modern style home in the Upper Forest that closed at $865K (3% off of List Price) and a condo that sold for $777K (8% off of List Price).  We’re very honored and excited to represent the top new sale in Pebble – a custom Braden Sterling designed home on the prized Padre Ln with an ask of $6.795M.  The other new sales include a tastefully designed traditional style home in the Country Club East area, listed at $1.85M; a dated mid-century modern style home with filtered ocean views and an ask of $1.79M; a major fixer with potential and a list price of $1.395M and another couple of fixers in the Country Club East area with ask prices of $1.2M and $1.145M respectively.


Carmel’s market also had a lot to report over the last two weeks with 6 closed escrows and 12 new sales – a robust pace for Q4 standards.  The top closed escrow was a higher-end spec play in the Carmel Point area that closed at $6.75M (1% off of List Price).  The other closed escrows included another spec play with standard house/lot sizes in the Golden Rectangle that sold for $2.13M (3% off of List Price); an oversized cottage (and lot) in SE Carmel that closed at $2.05M (6% off of List Price); a couple of major fixers in the NE area of Carmel that traded for $1.394M (2% off of List Price) and $1.299M (3% off of List Price) along with a teardown in the outskirts of NE Carmel that sold for $865K (4% off of List Price). The top new sale is a Scenic (teardown) frontline unit that went back into escrow at $4.995M.  The other new sales included a major fixer in a great Carmel Point location, listed at $2.195M; two turn-key listings in NE Carmel with asks of $1.899M and $1.895M; a custom designed Spanish Colonial (very honored to represent the sellers) listed at $1.699M; a partially updated cottage in NE Carmel with an ask of $1.439M and several others (6 sales) ranging from $1.29M down to $849K.  Overall, a steady market that has transitioned into Q4 with good momentum.


Quail had activity to report with 1 new sale, which came from Quail’s 9th fairway – a major fixer near the tee box, listed at $1.595M.


The Highlands also had activity to report with 1 new sale coming from the East side of the Highway – an East Coast style home with distant ocean views and a list price of $2.795M.
