About

Mary Bell
Following my completion of graduate school I was invited to visit Carmel. That did it. I took one look at this wonderful area and decided this is where I wanted to live.

My real estate experience spans a period of 40 years. I have worked all over the peninsula, but now concentrate on Carmel, Pebble Beach and Carmel Valley. My early years saw me working wherever work presented itself. This taught me the towns, streets and roads all over the peninsula which has been a priceless resource.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, I went to work for Cook County Public Aid in Chicago. Next I studied for a Master’s Degree in Education.

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.
