How did the real estate market look at the beginning of 2020?

Q1 of 2020 set out to break records. It indeed exceeded the previous years' successes by increasing the dollar volume of sales for the residential market by over 60% across the board, with Villa and Single Family home sales doubling from 2019, up over 120%. It's also important to note that not only did we break the ceiling as it relates to the dollar volume of sales but that of our Average Sell Price, which increased exponentially. We in the real estate community had the sense that the momentum we had gained toward the end of 2019, and the ever-increasing popularity of the Turks and Caicos would drive sales to a record number, believing firmly that 2020 would be the year to beat all years.

What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

Moving into Q2 as Covid-19 was first realized globally, the Turks and Caicos Islands, along with the rest of the world looked to find equilibrium and understand their circumstances.

As we collectively understood more about the issues related to the Virus, it was clear that a significant factor which contributed to its spread was personal contact, leaving highly populated areas and big cities around the world in a vulnerable position—ultimately looking for an escape, looking for a SAFE-HAVEN.

The Real Estate Industry in the Turks and Caicos quickly recognized this need, which in-tern became a demand. We just as quickly adopted new, remote ways to reach those who were looking to find their safe-havens far removed from the stress of big city lifestyles. As such, and even during our islands own lock-down that included the closing of our borders and stay-at-home orders we were able to increase sales in the Villa and Single Family Home Market by almost 6% over the previous year. Which given the circumstances was a fantastic accomplishment, and further highlighted our islands desirable features.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are known for being a vacation home destination, be it our clients 2nd or 3rd property owned around the world. As such, our islands owner demographic is not as susceptible to swings in the market or financial issues related to events such as COVID. The point to my explaining this is that we do not, and have not become a major buyers market, in-fact with our real estate becoming more desirable due to the environment we offer. Therefore, in my opinion, we have maintained real estate prices.

Professionally, what have you learned in 2020 about yourself?

This is a question that I could spend a great deal of time on as it would not just reflect an answer related to the industry, but the importance of our islands to the world, and as a human being living in a very unusual time.

As it relates to the real estate industry, the famous quote by Franklin D Roosevelt become incredibly poignant and relevant to me. He said during the great depression that, "Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world." It was as true then as it is today. Therefore the home is the cornerstone of wealth.

Within this quote, he was obviously talking about a safe investment in real estate as it was far more secure, true today, especially with the continued current volatility in the market. But more importantly, when one looks at the interpretation of 'wealth', one can see that in this period we are enduring with COVID, wealth is not necessarily the measure of a single material possession, but what it brings to you and your loved ones. In this case, to provide a safe-haven where you and those you love can quarantine in a healthy environment, both physically and mentally, is priceless, therefore offers more than wealth, but that of life and a piece of mind not found in most countries across the globe.

As a collective within our firm, we had to pivot very quickly to fully understand the message we wanted to share and how to communicate our message. It was a time to simply share ourselves, our time and our compassion with our clients, no more, no less. Given our largest demographic are all from locations that were suffering great hardships we wanted to connect on a personal level, ask how they were, how were their families and that we couldn't wait to see them again. And if necessary, how could we help. First and foremost our clients are our friends, so opening a dialogue in this way was very uplifting for them, especially when we video conferenced providing a view of our stunning turquoise waters as a backdrop. Since then, this has resulted in continued conversations that have translated into new sales. Not the intention of the initial outreach, but an organic result.

We learned that there's a definite paradigm shift that's arrived where one-on one-contact is all-important, but having the technology to share your properties through Matterport or Video, or live-streaming is critical.

Networking with our Christies affiliates from the region and our feeder markets has and continues to be of paramount importance.

Slow down; this is not going to be a typical year! A statement I made to myself early on in the year. Before you can manage others expectations, you first have to manage your own.

Think differently and be willing to try new approaches.

Understand that this to shall pass. Once you understand this fact, you can work from a balanced place and be far more effective.

Empathy and compassion must remain prevalent in your interactions with clients.

More so than ever, I learned that the Turks and Caicos Islands is an exceptional place that offers far more than just a vacation retreat.

Understand that this is no longer just about buying a piece of real estate on a Caribbean island; it's so much more.

Alan Titchmarsh, the host of the popular British lifestyle gardening show Love Your Garden, calls gardening, "apart from having children, the most rewarding thing in life."

If that's true, then these homes have reaped a huge reward.

Atlanta's Secret Garden

Imagine having your own private garden retreat minutes away from all that Buckhead has to offer. If this walled peace garden isn't enough to stir the spirit, this Cates Ridge property has over 8 usable acres--including a terraced stone path that leads to a waterfall emptying into a lake.

What could have just been an outdoor shower area, has become an old world-inspired reflecting pond and meditation space in the hands of a capable landscaper. The green grass is kept just long enough to curl around the edges of the natural stepping stones. Creeping ivy grows along the red brick retaining wall, while in the foreground a large potted fern keeps everything in balance. The stone bench is angled smartly to catch the calming trickle of water off of a rock into the gently bending pond below.

Secluded garden nooks don't usually appear on properties sporting full gyms, a Fox theater, and a massive pool, but that's what makes this spot such a charmer. Property listing by Debra Johnston.

Vancouver's All Decked Out Dining Space

Canada's real estate queen Sidra Subzwari lists some magnificent properties, but what makes this home special is the very attractive angular deck.

When a deck is not built with a designer's vision--it can be an eyesore but done correctly, a deck can be both comfortable and attractive.

This South Surrey home's deck spills into the yard like a smooth wooden landing pad. Tables and chairs outline various seating and entertainment options, from dinner under the stars to snuggling beside a warm fire. Potted perennials frame the edges in a much more pleasing and fragrant way than any railing would.

A small step up leads to French doors and the living area of the house, while one step down transitions into a stone walkway meandering into a verdant green yard.

Old Florida Charm

Few features feel more "old Florida" than the smell of seawater, tall palm trees, and white wicker rockers on wide porches. This Shell Point estate in Ruskin has all of that Floridian flavor in spades.

The grand white-washed collonades contrast pleasingly with the sun-drenched light green of the tropical plants and blue waters of Tampa Bay.

When this historic manor was originally built, its bones had to be ferried by barge across the bay and assembled using early 1900's methods. The old steeple still stands proudly above the mature trees on a lot that also features a lagoon and waterfall.

Houses like this come with their own stories, whispered in the crux of those tranquil twisting palms.

A Palace Garden Comes To Carmel, California

In the 17th Century, gardens in France were symbols of status. Members of the bourgeoisie class under Louis XIV used landscaping as a means of showing the world their wealth.

Offered by Carmel Realty Company, this established garden overlooking the ocean and surrounding a grand home off Mentone Road has something inspired by those formal gardens of royal Europe.

Solid stone steps and chiseled railings jutting out from behind stout hedges. A long swath of grass is cross-cut by pattern-laid stepping stones shadowed by landscaped beds cut into the naturally sloping earth.

Green, gray, and brown are the dominant hues here. The overall effect is a kingly garden--mature and refined. A manicured space carved from the wild overgrowth that plunges down the steep cliffs into the ocean below.

Home gardens can be precise or rough around the edges, contemporary or inspired by history. Their prestige is in their offerings: protection, privacy, rejuvenation, focus, and fresh air.
