Monterey Real Estate     In 1602 Sebastian Vizcaino "discovered" the bay and peninsula and named the bay after the viceroy of New Spain. Our city got its start when a presidio was built by the Mexican army in 1770. It became the capitol of Las Californias in 1776. The adobe custom house which presided over Mexico's only west coast port of entry still stands today.     It was here that Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the American flag in July of 1846 claiming for the United States the territory later to become Utah, Colorado, Arizona, California and New Mexico. This area is now a park located in the midst of a bustling downtown lined with fashionable restaurants, shops, cafes and nightspots. We have preserved more of our city's history than has any other city in California.     In addition to its historical landmarks, our city is also home to the famous Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf and the oldest jazz festival in the world. Not far away is the Laguna Seca race course which is considered to be the number one road course in the world. Nearby can be found hang gliding and some of the most famous golf courses in the world.    In the bay the largest marine sanctuary in the United States extends from the Farallones near San Francisco south past our city to San Simeon. The south center part of the bay is where the Submarine Canyon, comparable in size and shape to the Grand Canyon begins, extending over 50 miles offshore, reaching depths near 12,000 feet. This canyon allows coastal upwellings of nutrient rich water from the depths of the ocean every spring. Plankton then grows abundantly which forms the basis of the food chain for all marine animals.     The climate here is very mild, averaging 57 degrees. The fog bank comes in most evenings and goes back offshore the following morning. Visitors should dress warmly. Fisherman's Wharf is a popular attraction for visitors. Some of the city's best restaurants are here. And one can get some of the freshest fish anywhere. Listing agents have written contracts with sellers promising to get the highest possible price for homes. Why on earth would someone call listing agents for information about homes?

We provide full agency representation for buyers with no conflict of interest! Multiple listings are only a portion of the homes you will see.
