The post A Waterfront Estate In Delray Beach By The Pearl Antonacci Group appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

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

Highlight quotes:

Tim Durkovic: "2020 was my best year in real estate. 2021 is kicking off crazy. Inventories are low, there's a ton of buyers and multiple offers on every price point. We have over $20 million sitting in escrow, so it's going to be a great 2021 if that's any indication... [Due to restrictions] there is no looky-loo traffic anymore because everybody is highly vetted before they walk in, but the bad side of it is that you are not able to activate those buyers who don't know they are buyers because they are not able to just walk into a house off the street... Adaptability is key. You have to adjust, and you have to adjust quickly. It's an exciting time, real estate-wise, to be in the market. There is a lot going on and it's an opportunity to get ahead of that learning curve."

Angela Retelny: "Going into 2021, buyers are being a bit more studious of their purchases. They figured that they endured the majority of the pandemic period in their smaller homes or smaller apartments in New York City. So now that they paid the price of not enjoying the luxury spaces that they envisioned because of the limited supply, they are taking their time to find the right property for the long term. They are more discerning and more calculating. They want to educate themselves about the market before they jump in and sign a contract... In 2020, they were anxious and securing properties, not knowing what was coming down the road. Things are slowing down in our market as we are awaiting the Spring inventory."

Robin Kencel: "Last year, the market was up 63% in sales volume, and jumped about 13% in pricing versus a year ago... Buyers are opening themselves. They are becoming a little bit more flexible and finding things that initially they didn't think they would like. It's an overall good exercise for the buyer to just spend a little more time and think differently about things if they can't find exactly what they want... You get to know the comfort level of the buyer and seller and accommodate each person... Time is one of the biggest gifts. What I have found the past 10 months is a pause and lack of racing around so that you can really look at your business plan and rethink every element."

Brian Pearl: "Right now we are at high season, which is when northeasterners come down to Florida. We're still seeing that, but they're not coming to condos, they're coming by single-family homes. The condo market has been a little tough. I'm hoping that with the COVID vaccine that will change, but we are in a kind of wait-and-see mode right now... Delray Beach is a great area. People are just moving there from up North. They love it. It's new construction, it's affordable. It's luxury homes and resort-style living with golf and country club memberships... We still do direct mail and print advertising, but people want to see beautiful real estate on Instagram. And that's I think that's going to last for a while."

"The Brickell market has been transforming itself from an investor's heaven to an actual metropolis with end-users. It has become a vibrant community full of young families and millennials.  We are experiencing a huge surge in demand, especially from New York and California buyers. Condo sales have increased YTD 25% compared to the overall volume in the same time period for 2019. We have also seen bidding wars in many recently listed single-family homes." - Sebastian Acosta, Brickell Key, FL.

"For 2021, Fisher Island is going to take a very dynamic upturn in sales and prices. The reason for that is because we've had a huge influx of northeasterners that have descended here, wanting to get out of the cities because of Covid and the winter months. We are seeing much more activity of new renters and new buyers. The excitement lies in these renters that have come to rent here for the high season to experience everything that Fisher Island has to offer, which is an incredible lifestyle, sea breeze, and exclusivity. Those renters are commenting that they will be looking to buy starting in 2021. It's a small enclave that people from all over the world converge in and make friends." - Elena Bluntzer, Fisher Island, FL.

"I expect the demand in the area to continue to be strong in 2021. People will continue to move to this area because it is within walking distance to the beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and a multitude of other shopping and dining options. It is known for the great public schools and quiet, peaceful neighborhoods. There are also plenty of waterfront properties for boaters. This beautiful area offers all of this while still being close to main highways and airports." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"The luxury market in Aventura will continue an upward swing for 2021. The current high influx, of buyers from all over the country that are relocating to South Florida, is driving prices higher as a result and the inventory of available properties decreasing. This is true not just in Aventura but all over the South Florida market." - Sylvia Fragos, Aventura, FL.

"Delray's housing market is expected to flourish and be on the move in 2021. It is predetermined by five key housing indicators: mortgage rates, the existing home median sales price appreciation, existing home sales, single-family home housing, and the homeownership rate." - Connie Huergo, Delray Beach, FL.

"I believe the high-demand for single-family homes is going to continue in 2021. I think that people who are renting homes will turn into home buyers, and new/remodeled homes will be more attractive to buyers and sell faster than homes that need upgrades." - Roberta Ingletto, Pinecrest/South Miami, FL.

"2021 will be an extraordinary opportunity to create what I define as a legacy purchase, a home not only for the immediate needs of your family but also for future generations. Ocean Reef, USA’s #2 Private Club, is the ultimate multi-generational community with unparalleled amenities, plus safety and security.” - Mary Lee, Ocean Reef, FL.

“Everyone calls Edgewater the new Miami and I couldn’t agree more with such a statement. Luxury condos such as Elysee and Missoni Baia will have a tremendous positive impact on the real estate landscape of the area. It’s already got a unique urban vibe. I can’t wait to see its full transformation in the near future.” - Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL.

"Demand for single-family homes continues to peak each month as high-tax state residents who have been preparing since 2018 are ready as ever for their dream life in Miami Beach. Now seeking pandemic shelter as well, working from home, managing your business, or enjoying your retirement has no boundaries and there’s not a more desired zip code than 33139 or 33140." - Paola Marulanda, Miami Beach Islands, FL.

"Venetian Islands is without doubt one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Miami due to the quality single-family homes and lifestyle it offers. As of today, and despite the year we have been facing, the sales volume for single-family homes in Venetian Islands is surpassing the amount we have seen in previous years mainly due to the large migration of population from the north of the country. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming year along with new international buyers approaching as borders start opening. The majority of property owners looking to downsize and sell their property at a premium price will continue listing their homes, keeping the market hot while many new buyers build new properties, making out of Venetian Islands a more renovating and premium neighborhood." - Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Venetian Islands, FL.

"After an unexpected 2020 that truly transformed the demand dynamics for luxury Real Estate in Southwest Ranches, we could not be more excited for a stellar 2021, as we continue to see an exponential interest for space, privacy and luxurious amenities in the private residential properties. Southwest Ranches and AKAI Estates offer all of that and much more!" - Bento Queiroz, Southwest Ranches, FL.

The post What To Expect For South Florida Real Estate In 2021 appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The panelists were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase for the dialogue. They were:

Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Cofounder of Super Luxury Group, a leader in Miami and surrounding areas as well as globally with high net worth clientele

Joel Schemmel, Founder of the Schemmel Group, a top producing team with Sotheby's in Sarasota, top 1% overall in Sarasota

Connie Huergo, a top agent at Coldwell Banker in Delray Beach and Boca Raton, over 20 years of experience in South Florida luxury real estate

Pierre-Marc Bellion, Ocean Sotheby's International Realty, a leading agent in Key Largo and Islamorada areas of the Florida Keys

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro: "Everybody has been working very hard through this year to put all the tools in place to continue working in this business... People feel the trust and confidence of working with experts... Right now, everyone is finding a bigger purpose. Real estate is about enhancing people's lives... When it comes to what platforms we use, right now is the time to try out anything related to digital... Put your face out there. Beautiful videos [of properties] are nice, but people will relate to you. Build your personal brand.

Joel Schemmel: "We are seeing even more demand. Inventory challenges are going to slow us down to a certain extent... In Sarasota, we are comparatively undervalued to other markets in Florida. People are discovering that. They are coming from New York, California, Naples, and other Florida places... During the third quarter of this year, the pending sales compared to the same period last year were up 400% in the $2-4 million range... The market is very engaged. Things move quickly. Focus and understand the market, the value your buyers and sellers are trying to achieve...

Connie Huergo: "Interest rates are extremely low. That has really made an incentive for people that were on the fence. They have decided to make an early retirement. Our city of Delray is full of restaurants, beaches, and a lot of places to go...  We have had to be very creative and I love that, getting out of the traditional and do FaceTime presentations, 3-D... Delray Beach attracts the northeastern [audience]. When they see the prices here, it's an easy decision to make... We have to make sure to work with the right tools and surround ourselves with the proper people that can help us close in time."

Pierre-Marc Bellion: "People are moving out of the city. It's not just about getting out of the urban cities; it's about getting a new perspective... A year ago, a Zoom meeting was an exotic thing. It took us five weeks to get used to it and now it's how we do business... We sell the lifestyle, but you do better when you can share with people and they can tell that you are connected to your environment... On the personal and business level, with the pandemic, it's good to regroup and dig your roots deeper into the community. Go back to talking to people around you to get new listings."

The post Steven Solomon Presents An Immaculate Delray Beach Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The Summit had already featured two other, separate panels with a “who’s who” in the real estate market: developers, and international brokers. The local brokers brought it home to a successful and informative talk.

Phil Gutman, Lourdes Alatriste, Crista Ryan, Christian Martinez, Sebastian Tettamanti, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Steve Solomon

The panelists joined Moderator Alex Vidal, President of RelatedISG International Realty in a capacity-filled event space within the luxurious Residences by Armani/Casa (18975 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida), developed by Dezer Development.

They spoke about the current state of the real estate market in Miami-Dade and close communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties that are a quick drive up I-95 and enjoy the same South Florida weather yearlong. Other topics included: What makes Miami and South Florida such an active destination for many around the country and the world, contrasts between the renting and buying markets, the ins and outs of searching and asking for proof of funds from potential buyers, the impact of brand names on a project, and more.

When asked about the state of the market, Maria Eugenia Alvarez Vitale, Head of Sales of G&G Business Developments, said, “The market is good.” She is currently focused on sales of Aston Martin Residences in Downtown Miami, an area that she has gotten to know even more through her involvement with the British carmaker’s namesake building. "We are over 50% sold in Aston Martin Residences. The downtown area is booming," she added.

Phil Gutman, President of Brown Harris Miami, opined from the brokerage point of view, comparing the high- and middle-priced homes in the luxury market. “The upper part of the market has been doing well; the middle not so much.”

Palm Beach County real estate expert Steve Solomon, Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate based in Boca Raton, said, "In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the market is very good. There are many buyers in the market. It's an active season for the $1-3 million range."

Vidal asked, “Besides the weather and tax incentives, what drives people to move to Miami?” Crista Ryan answered, "The wonderful security. We ride our bicycles and feel safe in our communities." She is based in Palm Beach County, where she acts as President of Tina Fanjul Associates. New York native Gutman added, “The quality of life. I grew up walking NY's streets, hearing taxis screech on the road. Here it's more laid back, but we have a lot of companies' headquarters in the area."

Participating as part of the “home team”, Senior Vice President of Dezer Development Sebastian Tettamanti spoke about renting versus buying. "The rental market is very active. The buyer is taking a bit longer,” he said. “Now that there is so much product, agents take clients to more locations. However, the product is moving and we are making sales."

Christian Martinez, Regional Vice President of Florida at Compass, said, "Higher listings take longer, but we see them moving. It also depends on the market. Certainly in Miami, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove have an active market” as he remarked on famous sections of the Greater Miami Area. He added, “Overall, New York money continues to flow into Broward and Palm Beach counties."

Partner and Private Office Advisor of Engel & Völkers Miami Lourdes Alatriste emphasized how members of the luxury real estate market need to research potential buyers for proof of funds. “At that level of luxury properties, you should know who they are."

Fox Business Network Anchor Cheryl Casone was present with her FBN:AM film crew to cover the Summit.

Once the panel ended, Haute Living’s Seth Semilof closed the day by thanking all panelists, Vidal, those in attendance and Residences by Armani/Casa for what was the real estate event of the season.

“Delray Beach and Boca Raton have consistently shown growth in luxury sales each quarter and were the only missing pieces in ONE SIR’s South Florida portfolio,” said Daniel de la Vega, president of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “Nestler Poletto’s business model, like ONE SIR’s, focuses on a customer and agent-centric approach to real estate and we knew this was the perfect opportunity for us to expand our presence in the market.”
