Now (2010) vs. the most recent Peak of the Real Estate Market – Carmel; April 7, 2011

 

Carmel, CA; Annual Real Estate Sales Figures

 

Carmel, CA –

Real estate markets are cyclical.  Historically, an entire cycle lasts 15 years.  In Carmel, we saw our peak 7 years ago in 2004 and 2005.  We are at the bottom of the trough, seeing current figures that resemble those of 2002 and 2003.

There were drastic increases in the market environment in 2004, which led to fearfully inflated market conditions from 2005 through 2007.  A steep decline in real estate ensued, leaving us in our current market, which I expect to last for a couple more years.

It’s a great time to buy, but also a good time to sell for those who’s needs have changed and who still have some equity in their current property.  You may be selling low, but you have the opportunity to buy lower, getting more for your money.
