Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Social Media, particularly Instagram."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "From email and online forums to picking up the phone, there are many ways to network. My favorite way is the forums. They offer a variety of topics and allow many brokers from different perspectives to give their insight and opinions."

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. LinkedIn is offering ways to connect with like-minded real estate professionals as well as LinkedIn groups.

Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA: "Price opinion invites to properties preparing to hit [the] market."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "I love the exclusive networking that Haute Residence offers to its members. It’s always refreshing to brainstorm with like-minded agents."

Reaching out via phone, Zoom, or occasionally socially distanced meetings proves still that real estate is a people business built on real relationships."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA: "In person, but with Covid, Zoom will have to do, or phone calls.."

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

Leslie S. Modell of the Leslie S. Modell Team, Midtown East, New York City, NY: "During this period where we can't get together socially, we get on Zoom panels together, team meetings, phone calls, and send out e-blasts."

Mark Salmon,  South Tahoe, CA: "Professional social media sites."

Nilou Henderson of Henderson Ventures, Charlotte, NC: "Social media. Due to the current climate, I am utilizing social media to network with fellow agents, our community, and our clients."

Ryan Knowles, Bahamas: "Instagram."

Sandra Fiorenza, Miami Beach, FL: "Lunches and events."

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."

Leslie S. Modell of the Leslie S. Modell Team, Midtown East, New York City, NY: "The prices I would say, on the luxury side (over $3 million), are off about 10-20%."

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."

Ryan Knowles, Bahamas: "Similar [to last year]."

Sandra Fiorenza, Miami Beach, FL: "Home prices have increased by 30%. The number of listings has decreased by 50% and inventory is very small."

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

"With no signs of the usual market slowdown at year-end, it looks like the buying wave that has characterized Greenwich in 2020 will continue in 2021.  Even with a vaccine on the horizon, buyers seem to be rethinking lifestyle and options, and Greenwich ticks a lot of boxes for Manhattanites." - Robin Kencel, Greenwich, CT.

"We are experiencing a surge in real estate sales for the past 3 months with a lower than normal inventory in active listings in most price ranges. November and December can slow down in normal times, but have shown no signs of doing that now.  I anticipate this will continue well into 2021." - Vicki Gaily, Bergen County, NJ.

"The inventory in Westfield remains historically low, my prediction for 2021 is a very strong 1st quarter for sure.  We are still seeing a big movement of buyers coming from Manhattan, Jersey City, Hoboken and Brooklyn looking for the lifestyle that Westfield has to offer." - Frank D.

"We will see a lot of foreclosures in 2021, but they will not going to be processed until mid of 2021 and we don’t expect real estate market to crash as a lot of money chasing deals. Real estate is an alternative to the stock market and a good investment in expected inflation environment. Manhattan real estate was a proven niche of most liquid real estate in the country and we have a good feeling it will remain strong for years to come.

The Upper West Side is a desirable place to reside and invest and has attracted a lot of attention from developers, investors, and residents. It has never had such a large inventory of apartments and townhouses on sale.

In 2021 we will see more deals happening and inventory absorption rate will increase. People will take advantage of the choices the market is offering and very low mortgage rates and a variety of bank mortgage programs offered. 2021 will be another year of the truly buyer’s market and we are at Broadway Realty are happy to represent the most qualified buyers in pursue of great deals that Manhattan has to offer.

We will see hot deals, move-in ready and our price forecast is very positive as we are no longer in the price bubble and see more and more affordable deals." - Elliot Bogod, Upper West Side, NY.

"The real estate market in the Hamptons will continue to be strong through 2021. Working from a home office has become acceptable across industries allowing for permanent or semi-permanent relocation to areas once looked at as summer vacation destinations. Covid has changed the way people live and the Hamptons will continue to benefit." - James Petrie, East Hampton, NY.

"Values on Long Island are stable and trending higher.  In 2021, expecting inventory to loosen up on the North Shore and more properties to hit the market. Low-interest rates continue to stimulate buyer demand. Home is your sanctuary. But so much more now when mixing lifestyle and work there." - Michael Stanco, North Shore, Long Island, NY.
