Really all I can compare it to is my experience of the ’90’s. I mean, Carmel Valley was not less desirable back then. Yet I had my place listed for a year w/no offers. Explain that. It was bottom. There was no question. I mean, I didn’t even get a lowball. That house was fairly new. I mean back in the ’90’s, much of Carmel Valley was new.
I want to say no one was buying. There wasn’t bidding wars. The only thing that was selling was foreclosures. And back then, there was not a mega bubble like today. Places were foreclosed and sold for 25% off peak in CV. So 25% off something that wasn’t a mega bubble. And that was if you were lucky to find someone w/the means to buy it.
Rates were still fairly low, like around 6 or under, which for prices back then, it’s low, but lending was tighter.
But we didn’t have government intervention, so that is a factor to consider.
