Market Overview The local market had a nice rebound this quarter - despite the storms - and is building momentum as we go into the Spring. There was over $180M invested in Carmel, Pebble Beach, Carmel Highlands, Quail and the Preserve this quarter, which was up 16% from 4Q18 and matched 1Q17 investment levels. As usual, Carmel led the pack with $94M invested into 40 deals. Pebble Beach continues to see good momentum across the full price spectrum, with a total of $75M invested into 31 deals this quarter. The Carmel Highlands pulled back this quarter to just $3.7M invested, but we believe this is primarily due to the storms limiting access to the area and delaying marketing efforts. Demand remains strong for ocean view properties, so we anticipate this market will rebound going into our prime selling season. The Preserve has had six consecutive quarters with at least one sale and several more in the pipeline, so it appears that this market continues to gain momentum. Quail Lodge is extremely active but the buyers are very price sensitive, so a well-priced home is selling on average of 2 days on the market, but if it’s slightly overpriced will sit for an extended period of time. Overall median sales prices dipped 1% this quarter to $1.82M when compared to the $1.85M in 1Q18. Carmel actually climbed this quarter to $2.08M, up 7% from the same quarter last year. The other three regions saw a drop in pricing when comparing it to 1Q18. We believe one of the major drivers behind the Carmel prices is that people are increasingly demanding walkability from their homes which is something unique to Carmel in this area. Across all regions, the $1-1.5M bracket accounted for 37% of dealflow, up 18% over 1Q18 and 7% from last quarter. Demand in this price bracket is competitive across all of the regions and we’re still seeing multiple offers on well-priced properties. Although we have all had a long winter with the rain and the storms, we’re optimistic about a very strong 2Q, given the buyer demand and new inventory coming to the market that we’re seeing.

Market Overview
Pebble Beach Market Overview
After a tempered 4Q18 (26 Sales & $56.7M), Pebble Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market rebounded in 1Q19 (31 Sales & $74.97M) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; surpassing its 10-year rolling averages for 1Q (30 Sales & $66.79M). This rise in activity was largely propelled by a robust market under $2M that coincided with an uptick in sales throughout the upper price brackets above $4M. The Central Pebble area gained the most ground from the previous quarter in both total transactions and dollar volume (increased by 5 sales & 30.7M) as ocean-view properties near the Lodge drew strong demand throughout 1Q.

Conversely, the MPCC area experienced a mild tapering as transactions leveled-off (15 sales) and total dollar volume shrunk (-30%) from 4Q18. The dip in total dollar volume was due to the bulk of activity occurring in the $1M-$1.5M price bracket coupled with tightened inventory levels in higher price points. Although total transactions accelerated in 1Q for the Upper Forest (+2 sales from 4Q18), most of those sales were lower in price, which recalibrated the median sales price from a record high in 4Q18 ($1.45M) down to $1.01M for 1Q. Compared to the same point last year, we have seen a small rise in inventory (+7%) and anticipate that number to balloon further in anticipation of the US Open this summer. All eyes on Pebble Beach come June!

Market Overview
Carmel activity rebounded in the first quarter of 2019 with 40 closed escrows, up 29% over 4Q18 and the highest velocity of the areas we cover this quarter. Although all price ranges under $8M showed renewed strength this quarter, the $2.5$3M bracket had a standout quarter with 8 closed escrows, more than double what we saw in the fourth quarter and the most seen since 1Q18. The $3-4M bracket also had a very strong quarter with 6 closed escrows, which was triple what we saw in 4Q18 (2) and above the 10 year quarterly average (3). Buyers are heavily favoring finished product in the Golden Rectangle and a close walk to town as we see more Bay Area buyers looking for a similar experience to their primary homes in Palo Alto and San Francisco.

The top two regions this quarter were the Golden Rectangle (12) and Northeast Carmel (10) followed by Northwest Carmel (6) and Carmel Point, Hatton and Southeast Carmel tying at 4 sales in 1Q19. The Golden Rectangle had the largest rebound in 1Q19 with a 71% spike in deals over 4Q18 and returning to historic activity levels, matching 1Q18 (12). Somewhat surprisingly, Carmel Point has had a lag in activity the past two quarter with a combined 9 deals closing, which is below the 11 that closed in 3Q18 and the lowest level seen in over 2 years. This is primarily driven by low inventory in that region, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching it closely. It's good to see a strong rebound out of a lackluster 4Q18, especially considering all of the storms we saw this quarter which definitely slowed activity. We anticipate continued growth through 2Q as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing very strong buyer interest in Carmel right now. However, buyers are extremely price sensitive and if sellers try to test the market too much the property can sit on the market for an extended period of time.

Carmel Highlands Market Overview
After a steady 4th quarter and strong 2018, the Carmel Highlands and Meadows areas stalled somewhat to start the year, producing just 2 sales and a cumulative dollar volume of $3.7M in 1Q19. This matches the quietest first quarters in the area’s 10-year sales history from a units sold perspective (1Q09 and 1Q11). Also worthy of note, we saw a 66.6% dip from the seasonally adjusted average of 6 sales as well as a 79.3% decrease from the 1Q average dollar volume of $17.9M. Interestingly, the median sales price in 1Q19 ($1.85M) contracted back to near that of 2013 ($1.9M). Keep in mind the median sales price hovered between $1.1M-$1.6M each year in 2009-2012 – when our market bottomed out – then recovered from 2013-2018 when it reached values in the $1.9M-$2.3M range.

The slowdown in activity is likely due to the particularly intense storms this season as mother nature created barriers to the Highlands with fallen trees, power outages, and road closures throughout the area. The lack of inventory has also become apparent as there are now just 16 active homes in the region – down 20% from this point last year (24 homes). This has impacted both oceanfront and ocean view homes, and views are the key drivers for buyers in the Highlands. Now that spring weather has returned, enabling agents to obtain critical ocean view photos, we anticipate a spike in activity in 2Q19 and through the summer.

Quail / Preserve Market Overview
The overall Quail & Preserve marketplace had a slower start to ’19 with 3 sales – finishing in total transactions below both 4Q18 (5 sales) and 1Q averages (3.8 sales). The sales prices remain high considering the volume, coming in 1% above averages - although 14% below 4Q18. There is seasonality to this particular sub-market with 1Q typically lag the rest of the year. Given the demand we're currently seeing, we anticipate a strong 2019. Despite a rise in available inventory, the Quail Lodge market tapered below its 1Q averages (3.3 sales) with just 2 deals closing in 1Q. We’re beginning to see signs that the negotiation needle may be tilting away from a long-standing sellers’

market as Quail’s active inventory saturates further (218.5 average days and counting) and cancellation rates rise (2 deals fell through this quarter). The Quail Meadows market is on target to hit the annual transaction averages (2.9 sales) with 5482 Quail Meadows Drive in escrow due to close early in 2Q. With all three properties in the ‘Meadows listed or in escrow above $4M, we’ll likely see the median sales prices for that area remain above the $4M threshold for another year. The Preserve has continued it’s stretch of 6 consecutive quarters with at least one sale and we have seen very strong demand to suggest increased momentum through 2019.
