2012 Pebble Beach AT&T Pro-Am Volunteers Needed
Happy Holidays!
I can't believe I am writing this email again! It seems like it was just a couple of months ago that we were all getting together to volunteer for the AT&T. As you all know, this event brings in millions of dollars each year to needed charities in Monterey County. As a matter of fact, it is my understanding that last year they topped over $7,000,000 for charity and the grand total raised by this event alone over the years topped $100,000,000!!! This is all thanks to the hard work the thousands of volunteers put in each year! What a great community we live in!
This year the tourney starts Monday February 6th and goes through Sunday February 12th. We need people all days of the event, but especially Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please let me know if you can help. Those who have done this before know that if you can work 4 full shifts, you get to go to the Tee Off Party, which includes a nice meal and a 2 hour show put on by the various celebrities that are in attendence. Last Year Darius Rucker (Hooty and the Blowfish and now an award winning country singer), Clay Walker, Huey Lewis, Michael Bolton, Kevin James and many others performed for us! It was a great time and a show that you would never have the opportunity to see anywhere else but at the Clambake!
So, if you would like to help us raise money for charity and have a lot of fun in the process, email me back and I will put you in touch with Teresa Bruno, my wife who is the vice chair for our group, which is "Special Needs Transportation." We help anyone who needs help getting on and off the golf courses with specialized golf carts and even special viewing sections! We have the best job at the tourney!
Happy Holidays to you all!

You are receiving this periodic Real Estate Update from the Monterey Peninsula Home Team as a valued member of our client appreciation program. We realize that without all of you continuing to refer your friends and family to us, we would not be as fortunate as we are in this business, so thank you for always thinking of us when it comes to real estate!
Many of you call with questions regarding the foreclosure market, so this months update will focus on foreclosures in Monterey County. By clicking HERE you can go directly to a page on foreclosure radar's website. Along with the Monterey County foreclosure trends, statistics, housing data and demographics, you can review every pre foreclosure, foreclosure or bank owned property by selecting a city or ZIP code in Monterey County from the list below. For further information on specific foreclosure properties just give us a call or send us an email.
Foreclosure Filings Down 24% from a Year Ago
Foreclosure Filings—Notice of Default filings are the first step in the foreclosure process. Notice of Trustee Sale filings set the date and time of an auction, and serve as the homeowners final notice before sale.
Back To Banks Down 29%
Foreclosure Outcomes—After the filing of a Notice of Trustee Sale, there are only three possible outcomes. First, the sale can be Cancelled for reasons that include a successful loan modification or short sale, a filing error, or a legal requirement to re-file the notice after extended postponements. Alternatively, if the property is taken to sale, the bank will place the opening bid. If a 3rd party, typically an investor, bids more than the banks opening bid, the property will be Sold to 3rd Party; if not, it will go Back to the Bank and become part of that banks REO inventory.
Foreclosure Inventories Down 36%
Foreclosure Inventories—Pre foreclosure inventory is an estimate of the number of properties that have had a Notice of Default filed against the property, but have not yet been Scheduled for Sale. The Scheduled for Sale inventory indicates those properties that have had a Notice of Trustee Sale filed, but have not yet been sold or had the sale cancelled. The Bank Owned (REO) inventory indicates the number of properties that have been sold Back to the Bank at the trustee sale, and which the bank has not yet resold to another party.
Foreclosure Filings by Market Value
Filings By Est. Market Value—The number of foreclosures that have received either a Notice of Default or Notice of Sale, shown in columns arranged by the estimated market value of the property in foreclosure.
Although the number of foreclosures is trending downward, the effects of the real estate downturn are starting to make its way to the Monterey Peninsula cities and the higher priced properties. We have felt the effect in Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach and Carmel, but it has hit much harder in Monterey, The Salinas Monterey Highway and Carmel Valley. Our best guess at this point would be the higher priced properties ($1M - $4M) will continue to see foreclosures erode values around. The lower priced properties in each city have seemed to level off a bit and there has been a lot of activity and even multiple offers on these properties. Email us for specifics if you are interested.
It does appear to be a good time for investors to get active and we are seeing a lot more investors making offers. With rents on the rise, it is the first time in a long time you are seeing investment properties that are penciling out.
Thank you all again for your continued support. Remember we are never too busy for your referrals!

25224 Casiano Drive
Located in the sunbelt just several minutes from Monterey, but what seems like hours from the fog of Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach, sits a stunning 10 acre retreat with a beautiful 6000 square foot contemporary home on it.
It is hard to believe the weather can be so different from the coastal fog of the Monterey Peninsula, but it is normal to see 10-20 degree warmer temperatures most of the year out here!. As such, you will find yourself spending a lot more time outdoors. The grounds are perfectly arranged for outdoor activities including swimming in a large pool with a slide, playing tennis on your own lighted court, lounging in the sun on your own sundrenched patio, cooking in your own outdoor kitchen with BBQ, and just hanging around outside in your outdoor living room.
At night, the coastal temperatures drop, but not to worry. The outdoor living room is equipped with gas heaters or you can fire up the large outdoor fireplace...Or better yet, take a hot tub!
The residence is beautifully appointed as you would expect! It has incredible entertaining space including a large formal living room with a dramatic fireplace, a beautiful formal dining room with a large domed ceiling, a large bar with incredible floor to ceiling windows and a large but cozy family room also with a fireplace. It offers a great mix of both formal and non-formal spaces and again is great for entertaining large and small groups of people.
The kitchen is all business and has some of the finest appliances money can buy and even has a built in pizza oven and a butler's pantry! There are two sinks and a large island making it ideal for cooking for a large family or entertaining a group.
There is a large master retreat on the second level with a fireplace, a private veranda and a large master bathroom. There are five more mini suites in the house plus a dedicated office.
This is a fabulous property that would be impossible to reproduce at the current price it is being offered at. If you are looking to get out of the fog and have privacy on your own spread of land, this a great opportunity for you.
