To directly quote Louis Cammarosano, general manager of HomeGain, “home buyers and sellers continue to remain apart as to home valuations with the vast majority of home owners thinking their homes are worth more than their agents and the market are telling them.” Based on this it looks like there is still leeway for Home Buyers to negotiate on price, and buyers who offer cash are in a really strong bargaining position. Buyers with loans need to be pre qualified and ready to buy or risk a lower cash offer winning the sale.
This week there were five homes in Carmel that sold and three in Pebble Beach. In Carmel a home on Torres for $518K after 561 DOM (Days on Market), on Scenic & 8th for $8.1M after 588 DOM, on 9th & Torres for $1.02M after 187 DOM, on Camino Real & 9th for $1.16M after 83 DOM, and on Fisher Dr. for $525K after 17 DOM. Reflecting that Carmel real estate sometimes takes time to sell irrespective of the price point.
