Featured Listing Map

As many of you know, Carmel by the Sea doesn't have standard addresses. This makes it difficult for people to find listed properties on Google Maps and similar programs. In fact, it makes it tough to find a house at all!

Addresses are from the nearest corner. For example, 3 SW Santa Fe and 8th Avenue describes the house that is the third house, on the west side of Santa Fe, 3 houses south of 8th Avenue.

To confuse you even more, 3 SW 8th and Santa Fe describes the house that is third house on the south side of 8th Avenue, West of Santa Fe.

In other words, the first street in the address is the street the home is on, and the second street in the address is the cross street. The cardinal directions tell you which side of the street the home is on, and which direction it is from the corner.

I have spent some time trying to figure out a way to show my clients where a home is on internet maps. I think I have succeeded.

Here is a map of my current listings. If you zoom in, you can see that I have placed the Carmel listings in the right place! If you click on a property icon you will be directed to additional information about the home.
