ales volume in Carmel-by-the-Sea has come off its record highs and is beginning to normalize after several record quarters. Both the number of units sold and total sales volume in Q3 were down close to 25% versus Q2 of this year. There were still 37 homes sold for $118M in volume which would rank as a very high quarter when compared to pre-COVID periods. Less inventory was clearly a key driver in the year over year reduction in sales. However, demand remains high in this market. Our proprietary data shows that 29% of all home sales this quarter in Carmel-by-the-Sea have gone for over asking price.

ebble Beach sales volume and the number of units sold have both decreased by approximately 40% over the previous quarter. Sales volume was down 42% and units sold was down 55% when compared to the record 3rd quarter of last year. However, it is important to note that decrease in sales volume and units is in comparison to market high numbers in Q3 of last year and Q2 of this year. Actual year-to-date volume in this market is very healthy. Total sales volume over the first 9 months of this year is $511M, which is more volume that any full year in the history of Pebble Beach. While inventory levels are low, demand remains high in this market. This is having a positive impact on the average sales price of $4.4M.
