A Quick Update on the Monterey Peninsula Housing Market - February 29, 2024



Here is a quick summary of the Monterey County Real Estate Market:

  • Optimism continues but sellers are still hesitant to bring listings to the market. Buyers are out there but they are struggling to find properties due to the inventory shortage.

  • Sales prices seem to be inclining due to supply and demand influences.

  • Multiple offers are becoming part of the negotiation process and contingency waivers are on the rise.

  • Price reductions and property withdrawals were minimal for the month of February.

  • The 30 year fixed rate mortgage averaged 6.90 percent as of February 22, 2024, rising slightly from the week before.
