The momentum coming into 2021 was unlike anything we have experienced before. In Q1 alone, Hilton & Hyland sold over $249 million worth of listings priced at $10 million and above while the demand for quality homes has consistently increased. When the pandemic arrived in the U.S. last spring, buyers set their sights on privacy, fresh air and neighborhoods less densely populated, with areas like Malibu and the Pacific Palisades taking the lead. Malibu, prized for its private beaches and cool ocean breeze, and the Palisades for the typical large backyards and Pacific horizon views, both towns have seen have seen a dramatic influx of interest and multiple offers for nearly every address.

Our market is the hottest it has been since 2006, and all of this is happening without the presence of international buyers. While most business is being done domestically, when global interests and investments return to the states, our market will truly be the #1 market in the world. Whether it is Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills or the Valley, we should expect an even more bustling and active market when international buyers return to the scene.

While inventory remains at record lows, Hilton & Hyland continues our dominance in the luxury real estate space. Currently representing over $2.3 billion worth of listings priced at $25 million and above, property values remain at all-time highs and we are still firmly in a seller’s market. Not only is Los Angeles experiencing incredible sales prices, sellers are still looking for homes of every type in the city – high-rise condos, palatial estates, starter homes, canyon compounds, and historical gems, to name a few.

Nora Lum, commonly known as her stage name Awkwafina, has purchased a four-bedroom mansion in Bel Air for $3.5 million. Awkwafina is a rapper, comedian, and actor, best known for her role in Crazy Rich Asians.

The Bel Air mansion has a modern, boxy architecture that appears simple yet stands out immediately. Located in a gated residence, the mansion sits privately in a secluded drive at the end of a cul-de-sac. Built in 1991 and designed by architect Richard Dodson, the 3,500 square foot space was inspired by Streamline Moderne décor.

The two-story property has an open-concept layout with numerous windows scattered throughout. The spacious living room has built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a fireplace. Other living space amenities include a dining area and a chef’s kitchen equipped with Viking appliances.

The upstairs level holds an office or creative studio as well as the master suite. The master suite features dual closets, a fireplace, and a spa-inspired bathroom with an oval soaking tub and separate shower. It also features a private deck with a grassy seating area.

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

• Kris Zacuto: Top producing agent for over five years with Hilton and Hyland in Playa Vista, CA and the surrounding areas
• Justin Alexander: Founder of the Alexander Group, with over $1.5 billion in sales over the past 3 years from Laguna Beach to Beverly Hills, CA
• Wendy Gragg: Founder of Distinctive Real estate, the only luxury boutique real estate firm of its kind in Santa Barbara, CA
• Dana Bambace: Founding Agent of the Bambace Peterson Team in Carmel and Pebble Beach, CA
• Anne-Britt Østlund: Founder of Mountain Rose Realty, a top boutique brokerage in Telluride, CO

Watch the webinar below.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Kris Zacuto: "As what everyone is saying of moving to bigger yards, people are leaving Playa Vista, even if just one zip code over. But what's interesting is we that are having a new group of people that are coming in. So it's not vacancies that we are seeing but rather a reshuffling, people leaving and coming... In this moment, it's more evident than ever that being an expert or specialist is a key takeaway... The broker to broker relationships are really important. That has been vital over the last couple of months."

Justin Alexander: "The overall sense is that people want to be anywhere they can be outdoors. If they can drive to the beach within 20 minutes, that's what they're looking for... The luxury real estate market in LA is not going to disappear, even with a pandemic... If someone comes to me and says they want to buy a house now, there is no waiting. Real estate is a top demand in LA... If you can be that little bit of light that gives someone perspective that things are going to stay strong in real estate, people will get through it. Inspire when you can."

Wendy Gragg: "The demand from LA is stronger than the supply we have available, and people are lining up and waiting... We had the highest number of pending sales in escrow in July ever, and that all is going to translate into closed sales, so I continue to anticipate seeing these kind of record-setting numbers... Santa Barbara is a small oceanfront community, so anything that a buyer is looking for, we have. You're within minutes to the beach and mountain hiking. We have wonderful weather and outdoor dining."

Dana Bambace: "We have been inundated with buyer demand since the end of April. We are a market where we would never see multiple offers or over asking, and now we are. The demand on the inventory is crazy.  I feel that we will continue to have demand through the Fall... When people found out that their kids were going to be remote learning, we got buyers coming in looking for compounds in Carmel. It has been a very interesting time, and I'm grateful. It's an community and I'm happy people want to choose it."

Anne-Britt Østlund: "I was telling my clients to just wait, that it would come back. I thought we had until the end of June, but it started right out the bat towards the end of May and we are breaking records. Total sales volume for this summer is up 92%... Because rates are so low, sellers are not accepting offers contingent on loans because they take too long. Even though the rates are so great, it's in the buyers' interest to offer cash... Buyers right now are the real deal. They are not wasting time."

The post The Epitome Of Beverly Hills Sophistication appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Each of the homes named below is a yellow brick on the realty road to Oz. And so, as we follow that yellow brick road, let's peer through the looking glass into those private, glass-walled luxury residences that would undeniably leave Gatsby himself speechless.

Bel Air, California

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

This Bel Air mega mansion would make the Fresh Prince of Bel Air turn crimson from embarrassment (the Fresh Prince's mansion being quite inadequate in comparison to this Bel Air real estate masterpiece). Located in an ultra-exclusive Bel Air enclave, this four-level residence majestically sits as the avalon that it is, enhanced by 270-degree unobstructed views extending from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean with the lit-up Los Angeles skyline stretched in-between. It boasts 38,000 square feet of home plus 17,000 square feet of outdoor decks.

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

There are two master suites, ten oversized VIP guest suites, twenty-one luxury bathrooms, three gourmet kitchens, five bars and an amazing assortment of luxe amenities: massage studio/wellness spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, 85-foot glass tile infinity swimming pool, 40-seat 4K Dolby Atmos Theater, 4 lane bowling alley/lounge, auto gallery with cars worth more than $30M.

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my . .  . there's more! A 7-person full time staff, over 100 curated art installations, an outdoor pop-up theater, two fully-stocked champagne/wine cellars, a massive candy wall, and, last but not least, one of the most advanced home tech systems in the world. Listing price is $250M.

Beverly Hills, California

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

Dubbed The Opus, this masterpiece was designed by world-renowned architect, Paul McClean, and easily retains its legendary status on Billionaire's Row. This outdoor-indoor oasis is over one acre with jaw-dropping views. It is located on Hillcrest Rd - the exquisite street-with-a-view that undoubtedly boasts Beverly Hills 90210 swagger at its very best.

Courtesy of Christie's International Real Estate.

This 21st-century design brought to the real estate forefront by Paul McClean has soaring 12-foot ceilings, automated walls of glass open with a touch of button, the most impressive master suite with dual baths, six additional bedrooms and nine baths, a Cristal Champagne room, massive infinity edge pool, and a sky bridge. Certainly, this modern real estate masterpiece has brought the Land Of Oz to Beverly Hills.

And just when you thought there's no way there can be more, think again! This home of homes has the most Oz-like amenities that include a wellness center with a full beauty salon, hot/cold plunge and massage room, car museum, state-of-the-art screening room, and complete home automation with Savant. Listing price is $77.5M.

Laguna Beach, California

Courtesy of Beach Cities Real Estate.

This stunning oceanfront modern oasis enjoys a coveted location on the pristine sands of Lagunita, a gated community just a short distance from the celebrated Montage Resort.

It's nearly 6,000 square-foot interior is defined by glossy white Terrazzo flooring, dramatic high ceilings that enhance the spaciousness of the interior, and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass (custom-made by Victrosca) that elegantly slide open to bring the outdoors in, making this property an indoor/outdoor nirvana.

Stroll out onto the home’s exterior grounds covering almost 3,000 square feet and encounter an ocean-view courtyard, a full outdoor kitchen, mosaic infinity pool with a waterfall, lawn and beach gate. Listing price is $16,995,000.

Hollywood Hills West, California

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

Imagine if a path made of yellow bricks -symbolic of luxurious living- were aligned in such a way that led to a hilltop in Hollywood Hills West. Imagine further that the Wizard of Oz joined forces with the Real Estate Gods to build a 10,700-square-foot mansion, as homage to the famed Sunset Strip. The Result? The most modern sexy masterpiece ever constructed, dubbed The Stanley House. It sits perched in the hillside on about a third of an acre above the Sunset Strip with explosive 270 degree city and ocean views.

Lenny Kravitz  (yes, that Lenny Kravitz, the retro rocker) of Kravitz Design contributed to the interior's alluring ambience. Branden Williams, an agent at Hilton & Hyland, affirmed that "[t]he most important aspect [of The Stanley House] was to create a property with soul and vibe. We wanted to create history and that’s why we worked with none other than Lenny Kravitz and his firm, Kravitz Design, to achieve all of this.”

A stairway (think Stairway To Heaven here) connects three levels of living space, which span outdoors via numerous terraces and patios. There are five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including a multi-room master suite. Features include marble walls and glass-sheathed walls, and a lower-level nightclub.

Courtesy of Hilton & Hyland.

The property's location itself is also celebrated. Rayni Williams, also an agent at Hilton & Hyland, confirmed that “[t]he location is everything and when you’re selling a house this unique off the Sunset Strip in the legendary Hollywood Hills, your job becomes that much easier. We are surrounded by the titans of the industry and with the expansive views found in virtually every room, we have the recipe for another record-breaking sale." Listing price is $38M.

Oz himself would certainly have to agree that there's no place like these Californian glass-walled luxury homes!
