They were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Alison Melton: "As I tell a lot of my clients where we have to make a market sometimes, reach out and find those sellers, match the buyers and the sellers, I am so grateful to have had that experience on the big trading floors in New York and putting together those deals because that has really served me extremely well during this market. The great thing about living where we live is we are only six hours from Palm Beach. We can get in the car and drive to where we want: Charlotte, Atlanta, We are 30 minutes from Savannah, an hour and a half from Charleston, and four hours to the mountains. It gives us that flexibility... We have been focused on luxury real estate in the Hilton Head and Bluffton area. Here, in particular, we have a lot of the gated communities, the private communities focused mainly on golf, tennis, boating, and equestrian pursuits."

Kathleen Floryan: "We have three bodies of water around here, so it's a desirable area not only for boating purposes but different lifestyles. In the luxury realm, I've been focused on gated golf course communities... My focus has been predominantly on the luxury side of things. We have three bodies of water around here, so that becomes a very desirable area for not only boating purposes but also because of different lifestyles. There's the ocean, there's Intracoastal, and there's the St Johns River all along which waterfront properties, as we all know, are very desirable. In the luxury realm, I've been focused on golf course communities gated golf course communities... We are seeing a huge influx of businesses into the Jacksonville area that didn't consider Florida before, or as Jacksonville has been known as the gateway into Florida, we're starting to see more and more people finding it to be logistically smart [to come here]."

Taryn Pisaneschi: "[Over the last year,] we reconnected with the lifestyle and the demand here. You get used to showing these properties with the amazing backyards and you forget people can be walking along the Intracoastal and they don't need to have the backyards and the pools; they have these amazing views... We were able to show everyone what we did during Covid to prepare for the surge. [This includes] figuring out how we coexist, how we do virtual sales presentations better, and just loving where we live, not just personally but being able to convey that professionally, being more intentional with our time, what tools we're bringing on how we communicate value. And then, the market exploded... My husband and I have been in business together for pretty much 20 years. We founded and sold several businesses, and that foundation and commitment to customer service has been paramount to our success in real estate."

Kathryn Shafer: "I used to have my own brokerage business, and then 2008 happened, so life has changed on many levels. Now, I hang my license with Keller Williams and the luxury division there. I worked my office as a legacy business, as a family office. I work with clients that I've had for many years and selling real estate since the 1990s. I've worked with the business managers and the CPAs so I can market and sell their multi-million dollar homes in the Bel-Air and Brentwood areas, but I also love first-time buyers; it's a passion for me. So I work with their kids when they graduate from USC and UCLA, working for that first-time condo in Downtown Los Angeles, or their starter home out in the San Fernando Valley... The sense of belonging that Los Angeles has really realized, and what the terrible last 12 months have been, [all this has] brought so many of us closer together. People are really learning to love the city again and it a completely different way."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "Zoom and webinars is a new way of life.

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."

A rare and unusual opportunity to own a piece of history with beautiful water views in a central, yet very private, Jacksonville location. The property, located on over four acres, exudes Old Florida with a long dirt road entry, oak trees, and wildlife. You may even startle a deer as you drive in through the heavily wooded entry.

This historic waterfront home, built-in 1902 in Avondale and later floated down the St Johns River to the Intracoastal Waterway, holds character and craftsmanship unseen in today’s homes. The cedar shake exterior has been newly stained and the roof recently replaced. The interior of the house is richly finished with curly pine and coffered ceilings with a variety of distinctive decorative patterns. Eight fireplaces radiate the warmth and hospitality felt throughout the property. Four generous bedrooms open up to a wide hallway which ends in one direction with a glassed-in sleeping porch. The gracious wraparound porch with a painted blue ceiling, a southern staple, is the ideal spot to watch the boats go by.

Stroll down the large green lawn past the border of seagrass to a new and finely built dock with two boat lifts to enjoy life on the water. The property has 139 feet of waterfront footage with Eastern exposure and overlooks one of the widest sections of the Intracoastal.

In addition to all the priceless ambiance and charm of the property, the home is just 5-minutes to the Mayo Clinic, 10-minutes to the 5-diamond Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and is zoned for top-rated Ponte Vedra Beach Schools even though it is a Jacksonville street address.

Jacksonville is the largest city in the continental United States and as of 2018, the median age is 36 years old - younger than all major cities in Florida. The Northern-most city in Florida, downtown Jacksonville is approximately 25 minutes from the ocean, and the coast is peppered with several beach communities, including Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach.

552 Rutile Drive in Old Ponte Vedra Beach, listed for sale by Jayne Young and Gwinn Volen of Ponte Vedra Club Realty, offers a new build opportunity in the most desirable location at the beaches.

Old Ponte Vedra Beach is the oldest part of Ponte Vedra, first-developed in the 1930s, with the bulk of the original construction originating in the 1970s. It largely consisted of rambling ranchers and vacation homes until the last 15-years when people started buying homes and renovating or knocking them down to build more modern structures.

Custom builder DF Luxury Homes has designed a house (to be built post-closing) to take advantage of the beautiful setting on a wide lagoon with incredible sunset views. This stylish Anglo-Carribean home has a modern open floor plan with a downstairs master and office along with three ensuite bedrooms and a bonus room upstairs. A few of the features: custom kitchen cabinetry with Thermador appliance package and farm sink; summer kitchen; Isokern wood-burning fireplace; beamed ceilings; wood floor selections and paved driveway.

This build opportunity allows someone to live in a modern, stylish home within one block to the ocean and the highly popular Lodge & Club, a popular beach club with both adult and kid pools, a gym, multiple restaurants and a dog-friendly beach.

The sister property to the Lodge & Club is the acclaimed 5-diamond resort the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club. It is a quick bike ride or golf cart trip from the property and is 1.5 miles up the road. Preferred Membership Initiation Fee pricing for the clubs of Gate Hospitality - Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, The Lodge & Club, Epping Forest & the River Club, etc is available to the purchaser(s) of this property.

Jayne Young and Gwinn Volen are top real estate agents in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Their success lies in their blend of skill sets and experiences. Both Jayne and Gwinn are savvy and quick on the uptake. They have the kind of sense of humor and gritty experience needed to push through the toughest of transactions. Though listings are their bread and butter, they love working with buyers and assisting them in the transition into the Northeast Florida lifestyle. Haute Residence caught up with Young and Volen to discuss Jacksonville and why they are proud to call it home:

How long have you all lived in the Jacksonville area?

Gwinn moved to the area from Pasadena, CA in 2006. Jayne has been in the Jacksonville area since 1991. We both live on the beaches. Between the two of us, we’ve lived in 11 different locations across the area!

We both currently live in Ponte Vedra Beach, but serve the entire Jacksonville area. We currently have two buyers agents on our team. Between the four of us, we know every nook and cranny of the Jacksonville area.

What about Jacksonville makes you proud to call it home?

Jayne loves the fact that we have an NFL football team, incredible golf courses all over the metro area, and great entertainment options in downtown Jacksonville. And, she really appreciates the convenient and easy airport. Gwinn loves the low country feel of the Intracoastal and the fact that Jacksonville has a Southern feel to it. Having grown up in Augusta, GA, she appreciates the friendliness and sense of hospitality.

Our beaches are beautiful and clean and aren’t overcrowded. Both of us visit them almost daily. High rise construction is limited, which allows for more access for everyone on the beaches.

St Johns County is known for its top-rated schools, and we have great higher education opportunities with the University of North Florida and Jacksonville University.

The Mayo Clinic is also a very important asset for our community. It is continually rated as the #1 hospital in the US.

Have you noticed many people moving to Jacksonville lately? What do your clients who are new to the city say they love about it?

Jacksonville is one of the top 10 cities for millennials, as there is a bit of a tech boom here. We are also experiencing a lot of growth in Southwest St. Johns County with the development of Nocatee. Nocatee is the 3rd fastest growing planned community in the US. The price point is attractive, and the community has loads of amenities and top schools. Similar communities continue to be developed, as positive growth continues.

We are also seeing a large number of people relocating from the Northeast due to taxes and cold weather. Florida does not have a state income tax, nor does it have the mansion tax.

Our upper-end customers tend to gravitate towards the water, either the beach communities or the river. There are endless recreation opportunities.

What is your favorite thing about Jacksonville in the Summer?

The water opportunities are endless here. We have the ocean, the Intracoastal, and the St Johns River to enjoy fishing, sailing, surfing and other water sports.

Golf is everywhere, and it isn’t just a summer activity!

How would you describe Jacksonville in three words?

Friendly. Affordable. Growing.
