Historic McKenzie Farm, located 2.5 miles from downtown Boulder, was founded in 1893 and is still owned today by one of Boulder’s founding families, the McKenzies.

The farm has extraordinary senior water rights, natural wildlife habitat, 3,500 feet of lazy Four Mile Canyon Creek, views from Longs Peak to the Flatirons, a farmhouse, barn, greenhouse, produce cooling building, chicken coop, and more.

In March 2021, Burgess Group | Compass and Community Food Share launched “The Food Security Project,” which will run from March until October 2021. This project will transform lush, but recently fallow farmland into thousands of pounds of desperately needed fresh produce for people experiencing hunger in Boulder and Broomfield counties.

The Food Security Project will grow food on McKenzie Farm during the 2021 Growing Season while the property is listed for sale.

"For many people in our community and country, the pandemic was a tipping that caused them to visit a food pantry for the first time," says Burgess.  "We saw an opportunity to help. 2.5 miles from downtown Boulder lies in an oasis, the Mackenzie Farm. As the seller's representative, I approached the owners of this fertile but fallow 80-acre property and inquired, 'Can we put this land to use for our community?' There are a lot of people in need in Boulder and Broomfield County, over 46,000 people."

Burgess Realty Group partnered with Mackenzie Farm, Boundless Landscapes, Earth's Table and, most especially, Community Food Share on the project.

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "Virtual Events are more common. In-person events in small groups where social distances are practiced"

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Zoom and webinars is a new way of life.

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Project events are an excellent way to learn about the project itself and meet new faces in the industry."

Brian Pearl of the Pearl Antonacci Group, "Median list prices in Boca Raton are up 34.7% from last year in single-family homes."

Catherine Burgess of The Burgess Group, Boulder, CO: "Our area has appreciated substantially since last year."

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "[On] average, 10% [up]."

Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL: "Prices have increased due to the low single-family home inventory that's currently available."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "Prices are slightly increased but not as much as you think they would [have]. There is just a lack of inventory and prices will rise here shortly."

David Welles, Wellington, FL: "Prices are up approximately 10-12%."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Going up and continue, estimated 5%."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "Residential prices in the Steamboat Springs area are up an average of 11% from last year."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "Increased."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Manhattan is the only area not increase will be remembered as years of opportunity in residential real estate. Prices are expected to stabilize before the end of the year and increase after the pandemic is over."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "Our market has 1/3 the inventory that we had last year, which is driving our average sales price up across the board."

Jennifer Brilliant, Surfside, FL: "Prices for houses are higher this year. Prices for condos are about the same."

Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: "Significantly higher and still trending upwards due to low inventory."

Kathleen Floryan, Jacksonville, FL: "Up."

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "Prices are going up, inventory is going down!"

Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina: "Simply put - the prices are higher. The average list price ($397,829) was 20% higher while the average sales price ($390,696) was 23% higher. You can readily see from those prices that Asheville maintains its status as “recognizably affordable.”

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "50% higher."

Nilou Henderson of Henderson Ventures, Charlotte, NC: "Steadily increasing. Some areas have seen an increase of almost 20% in the last year. I expect the increases to remain as inventory remains low."

Roberta Ingletto of RGI Realty, South Miami/Pinecrest, FL: "Maybe 20% higher. It's crazy how demand has gone up - first homes, now condo sales are picking up as well."

Tim Fenton of Blue Zone Realty International, Costa Rica: "Prices are up approximately 11%."

The post Real Estate Prices Are Up In U.S. Markets And Abroad appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Georgina Jacobson: "Things are slowly opening up. Gyms are open, nail salons, and restaurants for outdoor dining, so we're feeling a little bit more of a sense of normalcy. With that said, we are seeing real estate is definitely very active. If I look at January last year 2020 and compare it to this year, we have a decrease in listings down by 38% which is kind of interesting, but the sales volume comparing that same time is only down by 3%. So the market is very active. We really have adjusted and pivoted to all of the proper protocols. I feel like our business is a lot more efficient because we're pre-qualifying people and really doing a lot of virtual open houses, instead of the traditional open houses."

Catherine Burgess: "To me, it seems like we will have a moderate moderate increase in sales possibly, but we will continue to maybe have this by greater buyer demand that could create appreciation, not just this year, but maybe next year as well. It appears to me like this, for us locally, appears to be the best seller's market in the last 20-25 years. The general inkling that we are seeing is that by the midpoint in the year there will be an increase in supply, and so, if it's possible for them to get to the market where there's this massive pent-up buyer demand right now, that makes a lot of sense. They will get so many more eyes on their property, which is not to say it won't sell later, but I don't know that we will have the same amount of demand that we have currently."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich: "Just in Redwood City, we only have 37 homes on the market [as of today]. Inventory is very tight. Things are moving and they're moving quickly. I also represent sellers, as well as listings, and I wrote an offer for a couple two weeks ago, and there were 27 offers on one property. You have one buyer take that home, you still 26 others still looking for a place, so that's where our challenges right now, definitely on the inventory and availability. It's very common to start seeing more come on to the market right after Super Bowl weekend. We are seeing a little bit, but we have more demand from the buyers right now, and I'm sure a lot of that is because our interest rates have continued to remain very low. Over the last year, if people weren't shopping, they were obviously saving because they were locked up somewhere, so they weren't out and about with vacations and wining and dining. So I think a lot of them have just decided to invest and real estate is where they're turning."

David Hatef: "Inventory is actually pretty comparable to where it was in January 2020. Properties between $1-2.5 million in DC Proper, new pending contracts are up 43% from January 2020, whereas the bucket of $2.5-5 million is up 80% from January 2020. Even though inventory is fairly comparable to the same time last year, there's just such an incredible demand, and you can see it in the prices as well prices are beginning to escalate pretty rapidly, it's definitely having an impact. Particularly in the detached house market, there are multiple offers on basically anything that comes up. Things are moving within three-to-four days; 60-70 showings within a few days is pretty standard around. "

The post A Sunshine Canyon Home In Boulder By Catherine Burgess appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Looking back at Boulder Real Estate in 2020, January and February performed very similarly to how they did in 2019, 2018, and previous years. March began in quarantine which lasted into May. During that time, the volume of our transactions decreased by 50% but remained fairly robust compared to the rest of the nation. We had 50% fewer new listings that came to market and 50% fewer under contracts. However, incredibly, our under contracts and new listings met each other and our sell-through rate remained consistent with what we have seen in previous years. This demonstrates the immense stability of the Boulder County market.

Looking forward into 2021, we know that a huge quantity of buyers that have been on the sidelines waiting for inventory will hit the ground running as soon as inventory increases in January. Sellers are trying to get to market much earlier than we have seen in previous years, and it is anticipated that the quantity of demand will still outstrip the quantity of supply and prices will accelerate in response. 

However, we expect that around mid-year prices will ease as more and more sellers continue to come to market. Additionally, we'll see housing starts that began last summer get finished and come to market which will also aid in the easing of strong price acceleration come the second half of 2021.

Buyers, keep in mind that while it can be challenging to find a property, The Burgess Group has been getting 1 or 2 buyers PER WEEK for years and we have yet to see this change even in times of great inventory shortage. In fact, it is still possible to find great deals.

Oftentimes there are properties that the market has overlooked and pockets of inventory in little corners of town that are, for whatever reason, in oversupply. As a result, these areas may function like a buyer's market in this overall broader sellers market. Don't lose hope. It's a good time to be a seller, but under the right conditions, it can also be a great time to be a buyer.

We are anticipating that the migration we saw begin in 2020 will continue into 2021 as people move from densely populated areas into the smaller cities, such as Boulder, that have a perceived terrific quality of life with more space and room to breathe.

Overall, the general anticipation is that sales volume will continue to rise, just as it did in 2020,  another 7% to 10% in 2021. We look forward to seeing sellers bring their inventory to meet that demand. If you’re interested in exploring more data, you can read our newsletter here.

If any of us at Burgess Group | Compass can answer your real estate questions or be a resource in any way, please reach out. We’d love to help you meet your financial and real estate goals in the new year.

"Unlike other downturns, this pandemic is encouraging people to move. After being stuck inside for months, people are more acutely aware of the shortcomings of their homes than ever previously. Across every price band, people want spaciousness. This new pent-up demand is leading to higher levels of buying and selling than we've ever seen before. With interest rates remaining historically low, we anticipate that buyer demand will continue to outpace inventory well into 2021." - Catherine Burgess, Boulder, CO.

"I don't think that we will see another summer like we just experienced for sales. Park City set records each month from June through October. I do feel that we will still see a strong exodus from cities to mountain resorts but it will be at a somewhat slower pace from 2020. Historically low interest rates and low inventory should keep buyers coming." - Dennis Hanlon, Park City, UT.

"2020 was a banner year for real estate across the country, much to many people’s surprise. Will it continue? I think so. The pandemic made people reevaluate their lives. In quarantine, we were forced to take a close look at how we were living, where we were living and if that was how we had dreamed our lives would unfold.  In short, it made people wake up and take action. Focus has turned to family, health and the home. With inventory levels down an average of 25% and sales volume up approximately 96%, I expect to see the luxury market continue to gain strength into and through much of 2021 as the migration of wealth continues out of the big cities and to more unique and exclusive areas like Telluride, Colorado. A happy side effect of the pandemic, it has forced us all to make lifestyle changes, most for the better, and to re-align our priorities to focus on what really matters!" - Anne-Britt Østlund, Telluride, CO.

About today's panelists:

Catherine Burgess is Founder of Burgess Group of Compass in Boulder, one of the top producing teams in the state of Colorado.

David Welles is the top listing and sales agent in Wellington, FL equestrian community since 2015, with over $100 million in current listings.

Highlight quotes:

Catherine Burgess: "The luxury market really picked up in May, and has been very comfortable. It's not the same in terms of inventory and under-contracts every week, but fairly balanced... Currently, we have had three weeks [that has led to] a healthier spot than we were at this point in 2019... We typically have a few people coming from Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Now, we have them from D.C., Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and a little bit from Seattle; pretty much all the dense places... For our sellers, we are drawing buyers who may not be here before they close... There has been huge progress in how we can best assess people so they feel they have the green light to move forward... We are keeping our eyes on what our clients need to feel well-served."

David Welles: "The summer season usually slows down for us, but this year was different. We have had a record year to date, people wanting to move out of the cities, not only because of the Coronavirus but the tax breaks. The market here is very strong for luxury homes and equestrian farms... Most of my buyers are cash buyers, but some of them are looking at how record lows of cost of money is, with a 2.5-3% interest rate for a $10 million property [for example]... The luxury market here is strong in the $1-5 million range... Properties are going for record prices... We have been able to reach out to other agents around the country and become a tight group with a lot of referrals going back and forth. That's going to keep us stronger as we get through the pandemic."
