Just as Christie’s represents many of the world’s most extraordinary art, Christie’s International Real Estate represents many of the world’s most extraordinary properties. “It is always a pleasure to introduce luxury homebuyers who may not be current art collectors to Christie’s as well as introduce both new and seasoned art collectors to the world of luxury real estate,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle.

“Christie’s affiliated global luxury brands offer significant cross-marketing opportunities that provide greater exposure to a broader luxury clientele versus what traditional real estate companies offer,” explains Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO for Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “Collaboration across the global Christie’s network opens up more opportunities to provide superior real estate advisory services to our clients.”

A condominium home at the Four Seasons Private Residence in Seattle, which sold for an impressive $9.5 million in October 2020, is a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. Wasner worked closely on the marketing and sale of this property with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s Auction House’s esteemed West Coast chairman, who oversees private art collections for high-profile clients.

The property was the home of the late Virginia Wright, a prominent philanthropist and significant art collector. “The joint marketing program between the auction house and our real estate brokerage created a buzz around the property and garnered attention from high-net-worth buyers worldwide,” says Wasner. “It was an unparalleled effort which led to a near record- breaking sale price. The Wright family was very pleased not only with the sale price of the home and how quickly it sold and closed but also with the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

“Whether a client is based in Hong Kong and searching for a vacation home in the San Juan Islands or a local client is interested in a second home in Aspen, Jackson Hole or Palm Springs, our global relationships give us extraordinary access to exclusive properties,” remarks Wasner. “You’ll receive not only our team’s passionate expertise, discretion and exceptional client service, but you’ll have 255 years of Christie’s unparalleled reputation on your side.”

The post Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle Presents A Modern Waterfront Condo In Vancouver, WA appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

This was especially true for the luxury real estate market. In January, the real estate market in Washington, and particularly in the Seattle metro area, was strong with high demand, high volume of sales and high prices. In March when COVID-19 hit and brokers were urged to restrict in-person home tours, the Washington real estate market remained strong as new Northwest MLS listings for the month outpaced February. By April, the market had slowed down with fewer year-over-year listings, but, surprisingly, prices were up nearly 6.4 percent.

“Many industry veterans predicted severe declines,” says Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “But what we experienced was quite the opposite in the high-end luxury market. The Seattle market took a brief break, but we bounced back much quicker than expected.”

It was imperative for brokers to adjust to the new selling environment. Christie’s Seattle brokers took the challenge in stride, using technology to create new ways for buyers to safely view homes using live virtual tours and videos, connecting with clients using Zoom meetings, and replacing in-person networking with social media. “Coupled with Christie’s already outstanding marketing programs, these new marketing tools worked well to reach buyers,” explains Ratcliff. “We quickly reinvented how we conducted business, and it was a success.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

By May, Christie’s Seattle sales of high-end properties in Washington were returning. “Many buyers began looking for property outside the downtown Seattle area - properties where their families could spread out,” Ratcliff says. “However, we also saw many clients interested in downtown high-rise living where services and amenities were at their fingertips.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Late summer and fall saw a resurgence of activity. Three residences within Seattle’s Four Seasons Private Residences, all of which Christie’s Seattle’s Executive Vice President and Co-Founder Scott Wasner represented and Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle served as the dual agency, captured the highest sales prices - a combined $24.7 million - achieved in Downtown Seattle in 2020. Remarkably, Wasner represented and sold one of these residences in July 2019 at the exact sales price as this most recent sale, $9.2 million. This stability in the market is excellent news for the region’s high-end market.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“The technology, digital media and e-commerce companies based in the region remained stable, and even flourished,” Ratcliff says. “This was a tremendous benefit for the area’s economy. We also benefitted from an influx of out-of-state, high-net-worth buyers coming to Washington looking to take advantage of the state’s favorable tax structure and business-friendly environment.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

At the beginning of December, a stunning 21 percent of the homes listed in the Northwest MLS were priced at $1 million or higher. “We’ve definitely beat the odds in 2020,” concludes Ratcliff. “While it is impossible to predict what 2021 will bring, our confidence is high that Washington’s high-end real estate market will continue to remain strong.”

As buyers across the country seek properties where they can weather the COVID-19 storm, those with long-term plans for city living have found such residences in Seattle’s luxury high-rise condominiums. Full-service buildings offer privacy, safety, seclusion, and incomparable amenities, giving residents the capability to escape the city, while still being in the city.

“Buyers are still committed to the downtown core,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle. “I’ve been a luxury broker in Seattle for a number of years, and I remain confident in the overall long-term well-being of the region. Seattle has a lot to offer with its diversified business sectors and tax advantages - plus the city is regaining its vibrancy with the re-opening of restaurants, galleries and other establishments.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

That confidence is evidenced in both the expedient pace of transactions and prices of recent sales. Residence #1202 unit of Four Seasons, located at 99 Union Street, Seattle, went pending after only two days on the market. This 4,293 sq. foot residence has a near-record price-per-square-foot of $2,143, surpassed only by a Four Seasons penthouse sold by Wasner in late 2019. Remarkably, in July 2019, Wasner represented and sold the #1202 residence at the exact same price as this most recent sale. “It’s incredible to see the price remain the same,” explains Wasner. “This stability is extremely good news for high-end condominiums.”

Four Seasons #1502 residence, owned by the late Virginia Wright who was a philanthropist and significant art collector, closed for an impressive $9.5 million on October 16, 2020 after being on the market for only four months. This is just below Downtown Seattle’s record sale of $10.6 million, a penthouse also represented by Wasner which closed nearly a year ago.

The Virginia Wright residence is also a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. “Working in tandem with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s auction house’s esteemed West Coast chairman, was an incredible advantage. Ms. Notides oversees private art collections for high-profile clients, and the joint marketing effort between the auction house and our real estate brokerage on behalf of the Wright family was unparalleled,” says Wasner. “The Wright family was very pleased with the sale price of the home, how quickly it sold and closed and the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

Luxury units sized 4,000+ sq. foot, large by Seattle standards, are becoming scarce in the downtown core as well. Escala, built in 2010 and located at 1920 Fourth Avenue, has two of the last remaining newly constructed penthouses in the Seattle luxury condominium market. Listed at $7,695,000 and $7,650,000, the two 4,500+ sq. foot Escala penthouses represented by Wasner and Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle are rare opportunities for buyers interested in new construction. “These types of luxury buildings are just not being built in Seattle anymore,” says Wasner. “If a buyer is seeking a recently completed residence of this scale, these Escala units are their last opportunity.”

“You could sit back and wait for the election to be over or the pandemic to have a cure or you can live life!” professes Wasner, who also lives in downtown Seattle. “The world keeps turning, and people keep seeing and seizing opportunities as they arise!”

“Not only do you have a superb selection of homes, but Queen Anne’s location is nothing but ideal,” continues Wasner. The Queen Anne district is nestled next to Lake Union, a freshwater lake in the heart of Seattle where kayakers, paddle boarders and others can enjoy time on the calm water while those who prefer the views can enjoy the walking trails, parks and many restaurants that dot the shore.

Just blocks from Lake Union are the Seattle headquarters for Google, Amazon and Facebook, while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Seattle Center, the city’s civic, arts and events center, are located in the Lower Queen Anne district. And if you’ve ever seen a photo of the Space Needle with the city in the background, it was likely taken from the top of Queen Anne Hill, Seattle’s highest point.

“Our clients love Queen Anne for so many reasons,” Wasner says. “It’s a cosmopolitan area that reminds many of the Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco. Multi-million dollar homes, views to die for and the best the city has to offer - that’s Queen Anne.”
