Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year over year in Carmel, typical home values in this rolling three-month view are up sharply, rising about a third to roughly $3.43 million. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has fallen compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged down to about 94 percent, signaling buyers have a bit more room to negotiate.
Current listing and sales activity has cooled from a year ago, with homes sold down nearly 27 percent and new listings dropping more than 45 percent. Fewer active listings, now under 50 and down almost 30 percent year over year, combined with just 2.7 months of supply keep Carmel in seller’s market territory even as overall momentum slows.
Time on market is stretching out, with the median days on market up about 20 percent from last year’s rolling period to around two months, while only about a quarter of homes go under contract within two weeks. With pending sales down nearly a third year over year, both sides are taking longer to commit, making pricing and presentation especially important for sellers and careful offer strategy crucial for buyers. Whether you are buying or selling in Carmel, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate agent who understands these shifts and can guide your next move.
Carmel offers residents easy access to pristine beaches, scenic nature trails, a vibrant arts scene, exceptional dining, and a close-knit, walkable community.
Carmel offers a walkable coastal village experience with easy access to daily essentials, acclaimed dining, and outdoor recreation. The compact downtown makes it simple to live close to galleries, boutiques, and cafés, while still reaching grocery stores and services within a short drive along the Monterey Peninsula.

Families value access to well regarded schools within the Carmel Unified School District, along with community events at the Sunset Center and programs at the Harrison Memorial Library.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Carmel Beach is an easy stroll from many neighborhoods, while Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and Pebble Beach provide hiking, golf, and scenic drives nearby. Everyday errands remain practical, with additional shopping, medical care, and employment options in nearby Monterey and Pacific Grove.

“I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!”
“When I decided too sell my home I explored the idea of listing it myself since homes in my neighborhood tend to sell easily and fast. After meeting with 3 different realty groups I decided to go with Samples Realty Group not wanting to deal with everything involved in selling it myself. I made the right choice. Michelle and David were very professional and helpful from signing the listing agreement to passing on the keys to the buyer. I was already in process of driving to my new home across the country when the listing started. They were very helpful in dealing with any issues that came up and helped keep the place in top showing condition. We decided that staging the home was the best thing to do and it proved to be the case. Their stager was excellent and it really brightened the home and showed off it's possibilities. In the end, I sold in a week and at a very attractive price. I highly recommend you consider Michelle and David.”
“Tony Ngai has been our family’s trusted real estate agent for a long time, guiding us through multiple home purchases and sales across Santa Clara and most recently in San Jose. Tony is the absolute gold standard of professionalism; he treats everyone with the utmost respect and brings exceptional market knowledge and sharp negotiation skills to the table. He does deep research into local communities and stays entirely up-to-date on market trends. His communication style is flawless—he is always available via phone, text, or email whenever you need him. Most recently, Tony helped my elderly parents sell their home. His endless patience and care were remarkable. He even went above and beyond by attending the final signing at the escrow office in person just to provide an extra pair of eyes and ensure any last-minute questions were answered. Having his presence there brought our family immense comfort. If you want a knowledgeable, dedicated, and deeply respectful agent who goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Tony!”
“Candace Colton did an outstanding job as my realtor in purchasing my new home. She guided me in every step of the way, was friendly and professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I really appreciate how available and present she was for me whenever I needed her for anything. I found her to be very reliable and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate transactions. I highly recommend Candace to anyone needing an excellent real estate agent. Thank you Candace, for all your help in getting me into my new home! Tara B.”
“The process of purchasing a home was much less stressful than I thought they would be when I worked with her. She explained things clearly and kept everything moving. It was really helpful that I always knew what step we were on.”
“Michael is an outstanding agent. He knows the Monterey Peninsula inside and out, and he was always available to us to answer questions. Michael is articulate, knowledgeable, and constantly presented himself in a professional manner no matter how heated the negotiations were He assisted with our choice and it was so wonderful to have Michael to consult with. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle did a fantastic job. She met all of our needs and was on the ball from day one. She provided excellent communication and answered all of our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her to all of my friends and family. She was simply the best!”
“That was a pleasure working with Milly. Everything went fast and smooth. She provided us with sufficient amount of details that helped us to make right decisions and buy our lovely home. Very satisfied with our new home! Thank you!”
“Arleen is the best! She was born and raised in the Monterey area so she really knew the Pacific Grove real estate market and community well. Arleen even helped us see a listing before it went on the market which enabled us to make an offer and have our offer accepted which we weren’t expecting in this crazy 2021 market! She went above and beyond through the process and was there for every inspection and even after our house close she still set up appointments for us with different services need such as electrician, plumber, etc. without us asking. Her calm and no pressure demeanor put us at ease through the buying process and I couldn’t recommend her more for Pacific Grove/Pebble Beach Real estate.”
“I am a retired lawyer and have been in a lot of negotiations, and I don't give reviews, yet this agent did a excellent job and deserves this review. It was clear he was on my side and not just trying to earn a quick sale, he stood his ground once Iwasunder contract. He has also been quite helpful in assisting me with the names and numbers of other service providers while under contract and even after the closing. He has been quite helpful in helping me merge into the community. Also a great guy with which to work .”
“Paige is a joy to work with and makes what could be a stressful process into a fun experience....Highly recommended ! The closing signing was a breeze with Paige and he has some very cool office furniture....”
