Participant[quote=lepetitangel]Would you say the housing market in CV now is still relatively slow-moving? Doesn’t seem that there’re lots of actions.
Do most buyers come in more towards summer?[/quote]
Well, I stopped getting all the updates on properties except the “sold” properties a couple months ago. So I can’t really give you a good, accurate estimate of the “action” that’s happening right now. By the sold properties, though, it seems as though it’s pretty similar now to the post-’05 peak. Some selling at peak prices and some not.
The most buyers (in nearly all residential real estate markets) come in the spring. Some summers are slower than others. Summer ’09 saw some houses sell for relatively low prices in CV. Summer ’10 less so. If you’re not in a hurry to buy, you have the opportunity so see how summer ’11 turns out and maybe get a bargain. Of course, you risk prices going up during the spring and not coming down as much as you’d like.
If you don’t have a realtor, might I suggest Lisa Harden of Coldwell Banker. She’s everything you could want in a realtor if you’re buying in Carmel Valley. She knows the area as well as anyone. She can tell you exactly what sort of “action” is happening in Carmel Valley right now. She has integrity, intelligence, a great work ethic, and she’s a fantastic negotiator. I’ve worked with her and so have friends of mine, and I think you’ll be very happy with her.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

ParticipantJust an FYI. The market for a non-upgraded home backing to a feeder street and a well upgraded canyon view home are two different markets. One is for someone willing to settle on a below average property just to get in a neighborhood. The other is someone who can afford the best and demands the best. The prices are often difficult to compare. There will always be people with plenty of money who will pay up for a premium property (within limits of course). For the short sale property without upgrades backing to a feeder street, it comes down to how bad someone wants to get in to an area they probably cant afford otherwise.
BTW, I have done transactions with Lisa Harden and she is a very good agent and everything ZK said she was.
