LAST WEEKEND, a group of enterprising local real estate agents put together an afternoon of open houses featuring homes in Carmel-by-the-Sea for sale at prices under $1 million. No fewer than 11 homes were included — a sur- prisingly large number, considering the super-escalation of prices that has gone on almost continuously since the town was born. The fact that such a tour was seen as a worthwhile selling device evokes some basic lessons in economics:

■ Buyers determine real estate values as much as sellers

When local real estate is under discussion, local know-it-alls can often be heard blaming “greedy sellers” for driving prices up. But the price that a home sells for is not determined solely by the person trying to sell. He can set his asking price wherever he wants, but that price is just a number on a piece of paper until somebody decides to pay it. In a free marketplace, such as local real estate, sellers compete with each other trying to get the highest prices for their goods, while buyers simultane- ously compete with each other to get those goods for the lowest possible prices. Therefore, if home prices are rising more quickly than you’d like them to, it’s because a lot of other people disagree with you and are willing to pay higher prices for homes in this highly desirable area. In Carmel and neighboring communities, prices have been propelled into the stratosphere because lots of buyers have been only too happy to pay top dollar. The same principle can be seen in its purest form in the stock market, where “Hello, sweetheart, do me a favor. Go on line and see if there’s a prices move up and down rapidly, reflecting the changing, and offsetting, desires McDonald’s in Carmel-by-the-Sea.” of buyers and sellers. Practically every news report about the stock market miss- es this fundamental fact. When the market goes up, they attribute it to optimism, I thank the Lord for such a happy ending.

Unfortunately, our dream has not been fulfilled because the city fails to enforce its public nuisance ordinances.” The case is set for trial Sept. 24 in a Monterey courtroom.
