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... 12/21/2011

Pebble Beach Home Prices Pebble Beach, California has long been a highly sought after destination.  While best known for it's luxxury resorts and world class golf courses, it is a great place to live. One of the great things about this area is that one must enter one of five guard gates in Carmel or Pacific Grove for access to this deligtful haven.   Although Pebble Beach has grown since I moved there in 1965, some things are timeless in this enchanted forest.  The ocean still crashes on the rugged rocks, one can still walk or ride their bike along the shore, and have a picnic on the sand at Seal Rock or along Spanish Bay, stroll along the beach with your favoriate canine friend, golf on one of the fabulous courses...  Below is a link to view a current market snapshot of homes for sale ... 10/20/2011

Here is a shot I took of the famous Lone Cypress Tree in Pebble Beach.  It was a beautiful evening with a great sunset and the surf was pretty active.  What a beautiful subject to take photos of.  I took over 200 photos that evening of the Cypress and finally the light failed me and it was time to pack it in. If you have been to Pebble Beach, you have certainly seen the Lone Cypress.  If you haven't been here, here is a little piece of the beautiful Monterey Peninsula that will hopefully entice you to make the trip.  You will not be sorry you did!

Stormwater can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants and flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, stream, wetland, or rivers. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the water bodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. The effects of pollution Polluted stormwater runoff can have many adverse effects on plants, fish, animals, and people. Sediment can cloud the water and make it difficult or impossible for aquatic plants to grow. Sediment also can destroy aquatic habitats. Excess nutrients can cause algae blooms. When algae die, they sink to the bottom and decompose in a process that removes oxygen from the water. Fish and other aquatic organisms can't exist in water with low dissolved oxygen levels.

OK, it was only a dusting...Or maybe even a lot of hail, but it sure is exciting for us sealevelers!  I woke up yesterday morning to this on the ground!  How cool is that.  I should tell you that we never see the white stuff here.  The snow level might get down to 1000 ft or so, but never right by the ocean.    12/18/2008

Although Monterey County is showing a large drop in average and median price over the past several months, Pebble Beach is holding it's own!  Sales have been steady and most areas are holding value quite well under the current market pressures.  We are actually ahead of last years sales figures!  Who would have figured that with all the negative press!!! Inventory is healthy, but not too far out of line for this high end community where it normally takes longer to sell a property.  There are some fantastic buys for second home buyers that want a piece of prime real estate.  A modest country club side home in Pebble Beach is running right around $1,000,000.  Something on the more prestigous estate side can cost you quite a bit more, depending on the view. To drill down even deeper, try ... 10/23/2008
