Distressed Property Sales in Pacific Grove

Posted by Christine Monteith On December - 21 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

I was doing research for a seller on sales and pending contracts in Pacific Grove. Though, I’ve been aware of which properties were in foreclosure and short sales, it was surprising when I gathered all this info into one report. The good news is that there are only 57 active single family residence listings, only 3 are foreclosures and 2 short sales. Of the 25 homes under contract, 60% of these transactions are distressed property sales (ie, foreclosures or short sales.) Since October 1,... Read the rest of this entry »

Monterey Peninsula Sales Stats – October 2009

Posted by Christine Monteith On November - 19 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Inventory on the Monterey Peninsula continues to decline in many areas. In October 2008, the inventory for Monterey County was 2,726 single family homes for sale in comparison to just 1,442 in October 2009.

Posted by Christine Monteith On November - 4 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Just returned from the one night performance of Pilobolus at the Sunset Center in Carmel. It is the most fascinating form of dance created. The poetic flow of movement is expressed by the combined physicality of 2 or more dancers. This is collaborative work at its most intense. There are no boundaries in personal space, the dancers bodies meld into a single entity to form fluid images that move in 3 dimensions on the dance plane. The program opened with a new piece, “Lanterna Magica.”... Read the rest of this entry »
