Q1 2024 Market Report Much like the close of 2023, the Monterey Peninsula's real estate market had a sleepy start to 2024. The typical rainy and windy weather conditions throughout the opening months of the year paired with continued economic pressure on both the entry level and luxury ends of the market led to a slow first two months of the year. The entry level market remained uneasy due to lingering elevated interest rates. The higher end of the market stayed slow over the winter months due to macro-economic uncertainty, geopolitical concerns, and other distractions that kept most affluent buyers on the sidelines. Luckily, as we moved into March, we felt a surge of activity. After 91 new listings in January and 98 more in February, March saw 152 new listings come to market. This was the highest number of new listings we have seen come on the market in one calendar month since June of 2022. |
Through the years, Julia has developed what she describes as "Plus One" service: a personalized approach keeping people and property in mind before, during, and after the transaction. Julia provides professional service taking that extra step, paying attention to and caring about the details. Julia recognizes that each real estate transaction essentially has the same process, but it is the relationships that really matter therefore all people Julia works with experience her "Plus One" service in everything she does. As said by a recent buyer, "Thank you for making a complicated process easy for us. We appreciate all your knowledge guidance and going above and beyond."
Julia is a licensed Real Estate Broker since 2010 and an integral Real Estate colleague to Judie Profeta, consistent top producer on the Monterey Peninsula. During this time, Julia has helped facilitate nearly half a billion dollars in real estate sales.
Julia entered the Real Estate profession 16 years ago as the Marketing Director of a local boutique office, Burchell House Properties utilizing her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Graphic Design. Later, Julia joined Alain Pinel REALTORS® as their Technology Specialist, Agent Trainer, and specialized design support to the Marketing Department. Julia gained a deep understanding of the technology, tools and refined skills needed in the successful execution of all Real Estate activities.
Julia lives in Pacific Grove with her husband who is a Monterey Peninsula native and small business owner. They absolutely love living on the Monterey Peninsula and are often out walking the recreational trail along the bay or hiking in Carmel Valley and Big Sur with their Boston Terrier Rosie. She also enjoys live music and frequently attends concerts. Live music is where she finds her "happy place."
The Profeta Team - 3 Licensed Real Estate Brokers
Rob perfected his negotiating skills during his 10 years in the world of corporate management. He held key leadership roles with companies that excelled in customer service including 5 years as an Operations Manager for Circuit City and 5 years as a Sales Manager for both Circuit City and Office Depot. His success in that highly competitive customer service based industry was built upon his passion for taking care of the customer and his easy going yet determined personality.
He graduated from California State University Chico with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management in 1992. He has lived, and traveled, all over the world, so understands the dynamics of many personalities and cultures. Even though he has been to many wonderful places, he says there is no better place to live than on the Monterey Peninsula. He currently lives in Carmel with his beautiful wife and five great children.
Rob joins a group of distinguished real estate professionals who are all part of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced marketing firm in today's residential real estate market, specializing in distinctive properties and estates. Monterey Coast Realty is dedicated to excellence, and our association with Rob Profeta is a bright example of that dedication.
It has been my great professional and personal pleasure to work with Judith Profeta as my Listing Broker on four projects, totaling over $20m in value. Judie is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, diligent, honest and responsive. As the head of investments for North Point, I consider Judie to be a tremendous advocate and true business partner.
Judie and her team have the strong experience and deep connections with the potential buyers of high end properties. This expertise resulted in quick and financially successful transactions in each and every engagement with us. We think that her success with our projects has everything to do with her personal attributes, which include exceptional high energy, charismatic personality, strong attention to detail, and excellent negotiation skill sets. In addition, she has assembled a competent support team that can facilitate all aspects of the marketing of these specialized properties.
One of Judie's special skills is her ability to negotiate and see the complete picture, on both the buying and selling side of the equation. While I have had many opportunities to work with some skilled business development leaders and negotiators while being the CEO/President/COO of a number of companies, I would easily rank Judie in the top tier of folks I would rely on to deliver the best results.
