As illustrated below, the real estate markets of the greater Carmel-City of Monterey region and of Monterey County as a whole, have staged a very dramatic recovery in activity from the steep year-over-year declines of March and April. As measured by the monthly number of homes accepting offers, activity soared far above any point in the last 2+ years.

In fact, Monterey County in June experienced the biggest year-over-year increase in sales activity of any county in the Bay Area. It is fascinating to note that Bay Area county increases correlate quite closely with population density figures.
