Mitchell, who died March 26, was a man who was decorated for his service as an Air Force pilot in Vietnam, went on to fly commercially for three decades, established what would become the Monterey Peninsula's foremost luxury real estate firm, gave generously of his time and resources —and amidst all of that, managed to squeeze every bit of fun out of life. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-luxe-outdoors-773.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-luxe-outdoors-773.htm Mon, 23 Sep 2024 12:00:00 GMT Privacy, unique architecture, views, amenities, plenty of space, and areas for entertaining are on the top of every home buyer's list.

Or, you may have seen them working at the North Dunes above Carmel Beach, helping with habitat restoration underneath the supervision of a biologist. Or perhaps you've stopped to sip coffee on a bench at Piccadilly Park on Dolores Street while enjoying the serene landscaping in the middle of town. All these beautification and restorative projects are due in part to the work of the Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/shopping-by-the-sea-759.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/shopping-by-the-sea-759.htm Sun, 13 Aug 2023 12:00:00 GMT Nestled in the heart of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, luxury boutiques cater to discerning shoppers looking for clothing, jewelry or home goods that are extraordinary, unusual and special.

An oasis is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast." We have long been celebrating how fortunate we are to get to spend time here on the Monterey Peninsula. Lately, with the pandemic, financial crisis, and geopolitical turmoil around the world, much of our focus has been on community and the safe, healthy, and easy way of living we are afforded here on the Peninsula. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-spring-2023-edition-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-748.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-spring-2023-edition-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-748.htm Thu, 26 Jan 2023 12:00:00 GMT The first issue of 1913 Magazine was published seven years ago in 2016. In each of the 14 subsequent editions, we have celebrated the benefits of living here on the Monterey Peninsula. In most recent years, we highlighted our friendly, healthy and vibrant community. While we are all touched in one way or another with macro- economic challenges, political battles, and ongoing health concerns, clearly our community remains protected from much of the more divisive problems that seem to be occurring in many major metropolitan markets. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/thank-you-carmel-pine-cone-readers-747.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/thank-you-carmel-pine-cone-readers-747.htm Fri, 28 Oct 2022 12:00:00 GMT Thank you Pine Cone Readers for once again voting us the Best Place to Work & Best Real Estate Company for 2022.

So naturally, when I told them about a 1969 A-Frame coming up in Carmel Valley they jumped at it! http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-newest-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-736.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-newest-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-736.htm Wed, 09 Feb 2022 12:00:00 GMT http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/annual-market-report-2021-735.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/annual-market-report-2021-735.htm Tue, 08 Feb 2022 12:00:00 GMT After a record-breaking year in Real Estate Sales activity on the Monterey Peninsula in 2020, many were concerned how the market would perform in 2021. Extremely strong demand throughout all four quarters of 2021 kept volume levels and prices high, contributing to a record-breaking year. Total volume in 2021 across the Peninsula increased 25% over 2020 reaching just over $3.25B. The total number of units sold increased by 7% in 2021 and the average sale price grew nearly 17% across the Peninsula. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-3-market-report-2021-721.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-3-market-report-2021-721.htm Fri, 29 Oct 2021 12:00:00 GMT The Monterey Peninsula is one of the most beautiful places on earth. With "home" continuing to be more important than ever, demand for housing in this area remains very high. All of the reasons families have decided to relocate from urban markets to this area remain. At the same time the frenzy levels of 2020 have started to subside. While each of the nine markets we track in this report can vary, overall, it is safe to say that The Peninsula is beginning to normalize at what seems like healthy and potentially more sustainable levels. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-summer-fall-2021-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-719.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-summer-fall-2021-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-719.htm Thu, 26 Aug 2021 12:00:00 GMT http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-2-market-report-2021-718.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-2-market-report-2021-718.htm Wed, 25 Aug 2021 12:00:00 GMT Market demand for houses across The Peninsula remained very strong in the second quarter of 2021. Current indications are that the 2021 calendar year volume levels will stay at exceedingly high levels. There were 477 sales in the nine markets we cover across The Peninsula representing a total volume of $932M in sales. This volume level is well ahead of Q1, 2021 and nearly three times the volume recorded in Q2 of last year. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/protecting-your-home-against-fire-717.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/protecting-your-home-against-fire-717.htm Fri, 21 May 2021 12:00:00 GMT With most of California under severe drought conditions, the fire season is starting early this year. Preventive measures are on almost every homeowner's mind. Of course, we are all familiar with creating defensive space by trimming trees, clearing rain gutters, and keeping grasses low. Over the coming months, we will periodically offer additional insights into wildland fire and what you can do as a homeowner. We recently learned of a compressed foam system that takes fire prevention to a whole new level! http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-1-market-report-2021-716.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/quarter-1-market-report-2021-716.htm Fri, 16 Apr 2021 12:00:00 GMT The Monterey Peninsula had a very strong first quarter in 2021. The total number of sales and total volume increased over the previous Q1 in almost all of the 9 markets we track. As reported in our 2020 annual report, last year was a very dynamic year. Q1 of last year started out strong, but by the middle of March, volume dramatically declined due to the initial COVID-19 shelter-in-place directive. April of 2020 became the slowest month we have experienced on the Monterey Peninsula in over a decade. By June and throughout the rest of the year, the market was setting record highs in units sold, total sales volume, and average selling price. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/striking-real-estate-713.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/striking-real-estate-713.htm Fri, 19 Feb 2021 12:00:00 GMT http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-course-is-open-712.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-course-is-open-712.htm Fri, 12 Feb 2021 12:00:00 GMT Carmel Valley resident Alan Shipnuck started his career as the editor of the newspaper at Washington Middle School in Salinas and as a 16-year-old stringer for The Salinas Californian covering high school sports. "I always knew I wanted to be a sportswriter," he says. "I was reading Sports Illustrated when I was 10 years old." While attending UCLA, he worked at The Daily Bruin, pre-Internet, helping fill 30 pages of sports content every day. "It was like working for The LA Times," he says. "It was incredible. I was flying to football and basketball games in Arizona, Washington and Oregon. So by the time I was 20 years old, I'd been a sportswriter for half my life." ... http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-before-and-after-series-part-eleven-701.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-before-and-after-series-part-eleven-701.htm Tue, 17 Sep 2019 12:00:00 GMT On a recent Sunday morning I had the pleasure of visiting my clients' Sleepy Hollow home for the first time since they embarked on a significant remodel. The prior home was truly unrecognizable now! It was beyond exciting seeing the finished product, sipping mimosas and hearing their story. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/relationships-matter-673.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/relationships-matter-673.htm Wed, 25 Jul 2018 12:00:00 GMT Before I began my real estate career in 2007, I was a financial recruiter in San Francisco. During that time, the traditional brick and mortar recruiting industry was being threatened by the internet and newcomers such as monster.com and careerbuilder.com. It became increasingly obvious over the years that people matter more than technology. That you can't replace personal interaction. That relationships matter. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/global-buyers-or-the-lack-thereof-on-the-monterey-peninsula-671.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/global-buyers-or-the-lack-thereof-on-the-monterey-peninsula-671.htm Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:00:00 GMT People ask me all the time where my buyers come from, assuming we have a large number from Asia or Europe. And not to mention, every real estate firm out there will wow you with their international sphere of influence. But the truth is, your buyer is most likely from around the corner. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/new-with-the-old-663.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/new-with-the-old-663.htm Wed, 11 Apr 2018 12:00:00 GMT After much [soul] searching, my clients fell in love with a spectacular 1929 Spanish Colonial overlooking the Lodge and Stillwater Cove in Pebble Beach. Built by MJ Murphy, the home had undergone 7 major renovations between 1949 and 2000. My buyers saw the potential to modernize the home, while maintaining the original Spanish Mediterranean architectural style of the 1920's. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-newest-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-606.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-newest-issue-of-1913-luxury-by-the-sea-is-now-available-606.htm Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:00:00 GMT The largest issue of 1913 yet with 132 pages of luxury real estate, features on luxury food and wine events, current events and so much more. 26,000 in national circulation.

The home is perched on an oversized lot on the hillside overlooking Monterey Bay. Doug Campbell, a highly respected and well-known local builder, and his wife Kim, came across the home and knew they had found a diamond in the rough. It was in disrepair and had been neglected for many years as the previous owner had fallen ill. Doug was up for the challenge and within six months had completely refurbished the home staying true to the architect's vision. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/perfection-and-privacy-in-monterey-454.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/perfection-and-privacy-in-monterey-454.htm Sat, 22 Aug 2015 12:00:00 GMT This home was purchased by the current owner in February, 2001, a multi-level building originally constructed in 1928.

My clients, Howard & Diane, just visited an open house in the Valley and they wanted it! I had their beautiful Carmel cottage for sale that they recently renovated and they had decided this contemporary Valley home was their next project –but this time –it was going to be their forever home. The one-acre property has spectacular valley views, direct sun exposure and good bones, but was built in 1988 with minimal updates. Upon seeing the home for the first time, Howard and Diane had the vision and in less than a month's time, the house was theirs. Diane has an incredible eye for design, a passion that shows in every detail. It took them about 6 months to complete their remodel. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/a-1946-mid-century-modern-turned-uber-hip-398.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/a-1946-mid-century-modern-turned-uber-hip-398.htm Tue, 09 Dec 2014 12:00:00 GMT I worked with Jay and Chloe for about 3 years before we stumbled upon the perfect property for them. They had challenging requirements. They needed a home large enough to provide frequent family visitors privacy and a separate living space, all as close as possible to their successful restaurant in town. Not an easy task when the average home in Carmel-by-the-Sea is 3 bedrooms and 1,600sf! http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/a-tired-1940-project-turned-french-country-cottage-394.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/a-tired-1940-project-turned-french-country-cottage-394.htm Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:00:00 GMT I met Mark and Lisa when they stopped into our Ocean Avenue office in March of 2011. They were visiting from Texas and wanted a vacation home. Over the course of the year, we looked at various properties in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Eventually, Mark and Lisa realized their priority was finding a home in the very best location, even if it meant buying the dog on the street and fixing it up! http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/transforming-a-1950-bungalow-to-a-luxurious-beach-cottage-389.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/transforming-a-1950-bungalow-to-a-luxurious-beach-cottage-389.htm Fri, 24 Oct 2014 12:00:00 GMT Lizette and Maria contacted me the summer of 2012 looking for a Carmel-by-the-Sea vacation home; a quick two-hour escape from their main residence in San Francisco. Their priority was location –they wanted to be close to Ocean Avenue and walking distance to Carmel beach. Luckily, they were open to a project. After two months of looking, I was able to get them into a 2-bedroom beach bungalow before it hit the open market. The location couldn't be better with a fabulous ocean view toward Stillwater Cove in Pebble Beach. The home was built in 1950 with minimal updates. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/passe-1970s-to-chic-contemporary-387.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/passe-1970s-to-chic-contemporary-387.htm Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:00:00 GMT This is the first of a series of blog posts of before and after stories. I love when I sell a home to a buyer who has a vision to give the home new life. And one of my favorite things is when the owner invites me back for a tour when the project is complete! I love seeing their vision turn into reality and so here is the first of the series, chronicling their stories, wisdom gained, resources used and of course, before and after photography. I was first contacted by Mandi and Jose in November of 2011. They were relocating to Carmel and wanted a property with a guesthouse. They weren't afraid of some updating and had good vision. After looking for about 3 months, they ultimately settled on a home in Carmel built in 1976. The house was well built with good bones, but screamed 1970's and didn't have good curb appeal. The home had been on the market for over one year with two different brokers. Mandi and Jose were able to complete the purchase for below appraised value. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-luxury-golf-lifestyle-of-pebble-beach-360.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-luxury-golf-lifestyle-of-pebble-beach-360.htm Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:00:00 GMT The luxury lifestyle of Pebble Beach is unmatched. Owning an estate on the world famous Pebble Beach Golf Links is a setting unlike any other. Reserved for a lucky few, this golfer's paradise is tucked away above the rocky shores of Pebble Beach, the rolling green fairways and the white sand beaches of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-unique-architecture-of-the-monterey-peninsula-359.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-unique-architecture-of-the-monterey-peninsula-359.htm Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:00:00 GMT A home's value is immediately surmised at a viewer's first glance. In a blink of an eye, an observer will asses the quality, strength, uniqueness and overall appeal of a property and begin to form an opinion of its value. The role architecture plays in the value of the property is crucial, but architecture also plays a role in determining the value of an area. http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-timeless-landscape-of-the-monterey-peninsula-357.htm http://www.courtneygjones.com/blog/the-timeless-landscape-of-the-monterey-peninsula-357.htm Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:00:00 GMT The beauty held within the central California coast continues to mystify those who visit and delight the lucky few who call it home making the region a wonderful location for a real estate investment.
