What is the future of the Monterey Peninsula Real Estate Market?
The market as a whole right now is relatively flat. We historically rely on sales of entry level homes to be bought from move up buyers from Salinas, but since that market is hurt by the sub prime debacle, we no longer have that pressure. We also have a flux of condo conversions that are impacting lower end values. Higher end homes and markets are holding strong. It will be interesting to see what happens when the 1000+ homes are built on the former Fort Ord.
