Start with the off-market prices, the market figures or how it works.

What The Carmel Market does

A page for every home

Each of the 10,096 parcels in 93921/93923 has its own page with its recorded sale history, size and tract. Owners and buyers start from the public record instead of an estimate.

Offers on any home, listed or not

A buyer names a price and terms on any Carmel home, and Tim drafts a non-binding Letter of Intent to the owner of record. Nothing reaches the owner until the buyer has reviewed the draft.

Make Me Move

An owner names the price that would make them move, with no sign, listing or agreement. The number is visible only to members with a free account.

Market intelligence

6,912 recorded sales are organized by neighborhood, street and bedroom count. Every figure is published with the number of sales behind it.

Comparative market analyses

Tim prepares written analyses of recorded comparable sales on request. An owner can ask for one at any time with no obligation to list.

Listing and selling

When an owner decides to sell, Tim represents the sale from pricing and preparation through marketing and negotiation.

How The Carmel Market is different

Every home, not only the listed ones

Zillow and Redfin center on homes that are for sale. The Carmel Market publishes a page for all 10,096 homes in 93921/93923, most of which are not on the market.

Recorded sales, not modeled estimates

Portal estimates such as the Zestimate are model outputs. Every number here is a recorded sale or a median of recorded sales, shown with its sample size.

An offer does not wait for a listing

Most brokerages only work homes that are listed. Here a buyer can put a written offer in front of the owner of any Carmel home.

A price without an agreement

Realtor.com and the MLS show a home only after a listing agreement is signed. Make Me Move lets an owner test a number privately, with no agreement and no public record.

One community, measured closely

National portals cover the whole country. The Carmel Market covers Carmel alone, down to the neighborhood and the street.

Who uses The Carmel Market

The record behind it: 10,096 homes, 6,912 recorded sales and 21 named neighborhoods, including Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley, Carmel Highlands, Hatton Fields.

Who runs The Carmel Market

The Carmel Market is run by Tim McMullen, a licensed California real estate broker (DRE #02016832). Real estate services are provided by Tim McMullen, Broker, CA DRE #02016832. The platform is operated by McMullen Properties, LLC, which is not a real estate brokerage.

How it works

Anyone can read every home page and market figure without an account. A free account opens off-market prices, lets an owner set a Make Me Move price, and lets a buyer submit an offer.

Offers and Make Me Move prices go to Tim, who reviews each one before anything reaches an owner or a buyer. Questions go to [email protected]. The full walk-through is on How it works, and the data sources are on Methodology.
