FWIW: I really haven’t been checking out Carmel Valley stats recently, simply because prices 2 years ago reached a point above which I personally could feel comfortable affording, so I stopped looking and keeping in touch (the same philosophy why i don’t go to auto-shows. Why bother looking at things that you cannot obtain)….
Anyway, this thread made me interested on looking at what’s going on again in this area…. I found this stat interesting posted by Redfin.
