the ebb & flow of real estate in santa cruz county

Well, the real estate market did change, however, we find that there are still plenty of buyers and sellers.

Yes, the real estate market did change, however, there are still buyers and there are still sellers in this market. And for great properties, there are still multiple offers!

It has been our experience over time, that in all markets, people still want to purchase and live here in Santa Cruz County and that there are those that determine the timing is right to sell and move closer to family members in other cities or states or simply cash out of above average values in real estate here and have the cash to make a purchase elsewhere. We understand both sides of the story, and our job is to help our clients achieve their goals in moving forward.

For sure, the friendships we develop as we work together are priceless. You are so much a part of our success by your generous referrals and loyal business. We really appreciate you thinking of us and working with us.

Thank you!

Accepted offer? Here? Now? Yeah!
Feeling Small
You just never know where we might be writing an offer for you or helping to put together a deal! "Alumitopia" works as a pretty good branch office for Indigo Beach Properties. Pictured is Paula getting the news of an accepted offer while on the floor of Yosemite Valley! Working while camping is all a part of the fun even with El Capitan looking over our shoulders.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME

This could be one of the more romantic homes on the market.
Set in the Aptos hills, with distant views of Monterey Bay, this a stunning example of classic mid-century modernist architecture designed by the renowned Southern California team of Architects of Erle Webster and his wife Honor Easton provides the idilic opportunity for a lifestyle of quiet and when needed, a place for entertaining with wide open spaces and large accommodating decks.

Through the double front doors, the open floor plan includes a dramatic, newly remodeled kitchen with all the amenities. Large picture windows allow one to feel immersed in all of nature and from the outside decks, nature's sunrises and sunsets display an ever changing panorama of light and color. While there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs, above the garage is a large room with a full bath that is currently used as a guest quarters.

In the back yard, there is a very private outside living room as an additional entertaining area. You'll just fall in love with this home!
