Christine Monteith on the Pebble Beach Coast

As of today, there are only 57 homes on the market in Pacific Grove, ranging in price from $2,199,000 to $400,000. Compare that to 120 active listings last winter. At the same time, there are 23 homes currently under contract listed from $1,699,000 to $389,000. Of those 23 homes, 11 properties are short sales or foreclosures.

The market is hot in Pacific Grove when a well-priced home hits the market. 309 10th Street (pictured here) was listed on Friday December, 11 by the following Monday, we had received 3 offers. This home is not a short sale or foreclosure. It is a tidy, well-maintained 2 bed/2 bath, 1,000 sf on a 3,600 sf lot with a 2 car garage and bay view from the front bedroom listed at $600,000. This property went into escrow on Tuesday. The buyers with financing are in the market and when they see a property at a good value, it sells.

Autumn colors will fade as the temperature drops and the sunlight disappears earlier each evening. But my memories of this summer and many summers past live on. I wait patiently through the next months until I stand in the bright sunshine on my dock.

I’ve been web-published! Actually, my photo of the view from my cottage, Jack Pines, has been published at Panoramio. I posted this image about a year ago and it just showed up.
