Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Dan Conn: "This market dropped harder and faster than any market that I can recall, and it has rebounded quicker than any time I can recall... More people in the luxury end are focused on having another home. I think that's a permanent change... If you're into the New York life, you're in the New York Life. You don't leave it... We're not just focused on global real estate. We are focused on luxury goods and the sale of the greatest art objects in the world...

Sue Nickason: "What's interesting is the interest and the inquiries that we're getting from new markets. So obviously Hong Kong, mainland China, India, some parts of Latin America that, historically, [from which] we hadn't received a lot of interest. Those inquiries are coming through trusted advisors, such as private client lawyers, accountants, and affiliates and agents in other jurisdictions. It comes back to globally mobile affluent individuals looking to future proof in terms of residency and in terms of having a place of safe refuge such as the Cayman Islands."

Nancy Almodovar: "Christie's International Real Estate [has] been such a great resource not just on educating myself and my team on what it is to offer not only luxury properties but also luxury service. That has been great, and then being able to connect with so many of our affiliates all around the world, and be able to service our clients when they're looking to move to those parts of the world."

Sonja Cullaro: "We have seen an influx of buyers and renters from New York City into our markets across northern New Jersey and Westchester and the Hudson Valley. It started more for short-term rentals and then it quickly morphed into buyer interest. We have seen people looking for both primary and secondary residences. When they're looking for secondary residences, it's always with an eye on the school system and the fact that the secondary residence may become a primary residence in the future.

Alex Jansen: "The Aspen market came back with a vengeance. Aspen has seen at least 100% uptick as far as under-contracts right now compared to the same time last year because there was this big lag. In April and May, the closings were very anemic, but we're seeing lots of very large properties go under contract north of $10 million, and some north of $20 million in that market. In Clearwater, the month of July is slated to be the best month on record based on volume for the Tampa Bay Area.

Brian Meier: "Since the reopening of New York City, we've been very busy. We have not seen prices drop dramatically. There have been some adjustments. It's going to need a little more time to tell where it's going to shake out, but the people who are leaving Manhattan, most of them are putting their properties on the market for rent. We have had a very slight increase in the saturation on the sales side, but we do have a lot of demand."

It’s no secret that airport travel can be unpredictable and stressful. With this in mind, Astéras Kings—a boutique development comprised of just 25 residences in a prestigious West Hollywood enclave—is providing its residents with a complimentary membership to The Private Suite at LAX, a newly-built private terminal located far from the traffic surrounding the airport. Members enter LAX through a private gate and proceed to The Private Suite terminal, which includes private TSA screening. They then spend their pre-flight time in completely private waiting areas, each with its own bathroom, food-service pantry and two-person daybed, along with a runway view of aircraft landings and take-offs. When it’s time to board, they’re then driven across the tarmac in a BMW sedan, directly to the aircraft— talk about a perk.

3550 South Ocean

Palm Beach's first new beachfront development in over a decade, 3550 South Ocean has upped the ante for luxury living by offering private jet amenities that connect residents to every corner of the world at the drop of a hat. The condominium's developer, DDG, has an exclusive relationship with on-demand charter jet service Star Jets International to provide residents with custom-tailored concierge jet services, inclusive of door-to-door car transfers, itinerary customization, jet selection, onboard catering, and more. There is no separate jet concierge fee, thus the benefit of this partnership through DDG is that the company's dedicated Star Jets International concierge will organize, book, and arrange everything. This indulgent amenity guarantees residents can be whisked away to any corner of the world on a moment’s notice.
