Joyce Rey Presents An Incredible Renaissance-Style Mansion In Santa Monica

Haute Residence — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 19:20:12 +0000

Joyce Rey presents

With a legacy that spans over a century, Woodacres Estate enjoys the distinction of being one of Santa Monica’s most coveted residential opportunities to be brought to market.

Surrounded by majestic pine trees and lush gardens, Woodacres Estate presents a peaceful sanctuary on 1.223 acres — one of the largest flat parcels in the City of Santa Monica. A gated presence at the end of a private cul-de-sac north of San Vicente Boulevard places the historic property close to the Pacific Ocean, beaches, and the restaurants and shops on Montana Avenue.

Only two private owners have ever stewarded the property, which today consists of an original Italian Renaissance-style mansion designed by celebrated architect John Parkinson in 1921, incredible grassy yards, a guest house with a two-car garage, a tennis court, and a pool. Designed as Parkinson’s personal home, the main residence offers more than 4,700 square feet with five bedrooms and 3.5 baths on two stories. The two-story guesthouse, built by the second owners in 1970, offers three bedrooms and two baths. The estate’s next owner is invited to continue the legacy begun by Parkinson a century ago.

Woodacres Estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recreate today’s version of a Santa Monica estate compound with a new mansion and possible restoration of the main residence as a guesthouse.

Château De 90210: Former Estate of Legendary Producers Dino And Martha De Laurentiis Listed For $37.5 M

Jacob Richardson — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 18:36:26 +0000

On March 15, the former home of legendary Hollywood and Italian film producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis was listed at $37.5 million. The estate is a hilltop residence located in California's world-famous Beverly Hills and comprises a 6-acre plot with breathtaking views of the city and ocean below. The impressive estate has been co-listed by veteran real estate agent and Haute Residence member Joyce Rey, representing Coldwell Banker Realty, in partnership with the former owners’ daughter Dina De Laurentiis of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Along with the residence itself comes a storied past of Hollywood and creative laureates: in 1978, the home was bought by world-renowned author Harold Robbins from actor and businessman Steve Crane. During this time, the interior of the home was refinished by visionary designer Phyllis Morris and a three-car garage, sundeck, and pool were added to the estate as well. In 1986, producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis purchased the home, with Dino eventually adding a tennis court to the residence for Martha, an avid player.

The estate sits on a quiet, private plot of land with a sizable residence perfect for hosting guests and events of all kinds. Upon entering the home, future residents will be greeted by an expansive foyer with a rustic chandelier overhead and staircases to the second floor on either side. The home also includes a cushy den, a spacious kitchen with stone countertops, a dining room with a fireplace, and 9 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, the master bedroom coming equipped with a walk-in closet and shower. Outside, the accommodating deck area includes both a pool and hot tub, as well as an outdoor kitchen and ample seating. For any aspiring tennis players, the tennis court added by the Laurentiis is still in place. This luxurious Beverly Hills estate is truly one-of-a-kind, with space and class to spare.

Located at 1501 Tower Grove Dr. in Beverly Hills, California, the 5 bedroom, 9 bathroom residence is still up for sale.

Beverly Hills’ Top Realtor Joyce Rey Thinks 2022 Will Be A Favorable Year For Luxury Real Estate

Mary Gibson — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:49:52 +0000

For more than four decades, Joyce Rey, who heads the Global Luxury Division for Coldwell Banker, has proven herself indispensable in the refined world of international luxury real estate. She is nothing short of a legend—among her celebrity clients, her professional colleagues, and the community she serves. One of the most respected names in top-tier real estate worldwide, Rey has amassed nearly $6 billion in career sales. With a dazzling list of accolades, awards, and sales records, she is known, most of all, for her incomparable knowledge of the luxury marketplace, her acute ability to negotiate even the most complex transactions, and her particular talent for putting clients at ease.

Recently, Joyce talked with Haute Residence about the Beverly Hills market and where she sees real estate trends going in the future.

Haute Residence: What is unique about your market?

Joyce Rey: What makes Beverly Hills unique is that it almost exclusively deals with luxury homes, and I have been involved in this luxury segment of Beverly Hills my entire career. I have, on several occasions, sold the most expensive house in the United States, and in 1979, I started the first division in the world to only handle million-dollar houses. In today's market that doesn't seem that impressive but back then no one could believe there was a company only handling million-dollar houses. It was very exciting and made news around the world. I would say that's the single most unique part of the market I deal with, that the geographic area lends itself to these beautiful estate properties.

670 Hot Springs Road, Montecito, CA 93108

HR: What kind of trends have you been seeing recently in the market? Has COVID affected the market?

JR: The first trend improved our market. All of a sudden the household became the focus of people’s lives because they were living in their homes all day long and doing their work from home. I actually predicted that when COVID first hit and we had the first lockdown. I would say the prevailing thought among realtors was that we were going to have a tough time and that we wouldn't be able to sell houses during the pandemic but I tried to look for the silver linings. The first was that there was no traffic on the roads. I thought that was fantastic! I could always get to my appointments on time! Secondly, I looked at my own situation and I never used to spend any time in my house during the day unless I was sick. I was out and about all day long and then I would go out in the evenings, so I was largely in my house sleeping. All of a sudden I was locked up in my house for three weeks and I’m thinking it’s not just me who's looking around their house and realizing how important it is and the things I could be doing with it… this is going to be prevalent amongst everyone. They're going to want to have a larger place to live, a home office, a gym, an outdoor area, etc.

HR: Are there any other trends that have been happening recently now that we’re beginning to come out of COVID?

JR: Well we’re coming out of COVID but we’re coming into a difficult time in the economy with inflation hanging over our heads. Typically, real estate does well in times of inflation, though one concern, of course, is interest rates. Usually, the federal government will raise interest rates to tamper down inflation, so it’s kind of a catch-22. Another thing is the luxury market is the strongest it's ever been, presumably because people are searching for safe places to put their money and traditionally real estate is one of the safest. Especially if you’re spending more time in your home, what better place is there to have part of your savings than in your personal residence?

9152 Janice Pl, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

HR: What do you see happening in the future for your market?

JR: Most people would say that there has to be hills and valleys and since we’ve been on a 10-year up-trend there could be cloudy skies ahead, but I just don't see any indication of that in the marketplace. People are generally optimistic right now, though it has been harder for developers to find projects because the prices are high. We are in a seller’s market, so it’s hard for them to find projects where they can see a profit at the end. That certainly is problematic, though ultimately that means less supply, and less supply means rising prices, so right now most people are thinking that 2022 is going to be a favorable year for real estate—especially for luxury real estate.

Toni Itkin Reveals The Five Luxury Real Estate Trends to Watch in 2022

Haute Residence — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 14:00:06 +0000

We’ve never lived through a year like 2021 – an astonishing statement, considering we were all expressing a similar sentiment around this time last year.

The luxury real estate buying boom that began in 2020 escalated in 2021. Insatiable demand depleted inventory across the U.S. and put upward pressure on prices. Driving the real estate surge was a combination of factors: 1) shifting consumer values caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, 2) historic wealth growth due to cryptocurrency gains, soaring stock markets, rising house prices, and increased savings, and 3) the idea of home became paramount. As people searched for safe places to put their wealth and re-envisioned homes as multi-functional spaces for work, play, and sanctuary, they sought out bigger and better living environments. Many luxury real estate professionals will look back on 2021 and be able to say that it was their best year yet.

The question now is: will 2022 build on this unprecedented momentum, or will there be a deceleration of demand as some experts are predicting? There are a number of unknowns that will dictate the future market direction, but here are five key trends to watch:

1. LOW INVENTORY

Low inventory continues to constrict the top 10% of the market. In September 2021, there were 36% more luxury homes sold than new inventory entering the market. One month later, that figure ballooned to 55%. Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® Property Specialists from across the country have told me that they do not see inventory levels improving any time soon. “The biggest story of the year is that our inventory is down 44% year-to-date in the Aspen area and 72% in Snowmass Village,” commented Carrie Wells, the No. 1 agent in the Coldwell Banker network.

2. NEW LUXURY PRICE THRESHOLDS

Declining inventory levels, combined with a lack of desirable properties, have pushed prices up across all luxury price points.

Median luxury sold prices* as of the end of October 2021, compared to the full year of 2020, has risen 23% for single-family homes and 14% for attached properties, according to recent stats compiled by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, the partner who helped us prepare our 2021 “A Look at Wealth” report released this fall.

One of the price segments with significant growth was the $1 to $5 million range. In the first 10 months of 2021, there was a 69.2% increase in the number of single-family sold properties in that price category and 65.3% for attached properties, compared to the full year of 2019. Based on current trends, sales for single-family homes priced $1 to $5 million will rise YOY by 64.6% compared to 2020 and 112.6% compared to 2019, while attached properties will rise by 81% compared to 2020 and 96.6% compared to 2019.

As a result, luxury price thresholds rose across the U.S. In Los Angeles, the entry-level luxury home price hovered around $2 million for many years, but is now closer to $3 million, according to Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker Realty in Beverly Hills. It’s not just happening in major U.S. cities either. Even in a small resort market like Hilton Head Island, S.C., the barrier to luxury entry has increased nearly 40% since 2019, from about $550,000 to $779,000 – “while at the same time experiencing a more than 60% decrease in the inventory of homes,” noted Thomas M. Kersey with Coldwell Banker Access Realty.

3. HIGH DEMAND FOR TURNKEY PROPERTIES AND NEW CONSTRUCTION

Turnkey properties are still sparking bidding wars and fetching the highest prices. Jade Mills, also in Beverly Hills, said earlier this year: “People have a lot on their plate, and adding a remodel to a move during such complicated times gives added attraction to a move-in condition house. Clients want done houses.” In Miami Beach, Danny Hertzberg of Coldwell Banker’s Jills-Zeder Group estimates that 90% of his affluent buyers want new construction, compared to 70% of them, pre-pandemic. Recent supply constraints in the construction industry – from labor shortages to materials like lumber, concrete, and paint – have only amplified demand for turnkey and newly built properties.

This is also the case in Manhattan, where new luxury construction appears to be leading the city’s recovery. A joint report by Marketproof and UrbanDigs recently found that Manhattan's new development deals in October 2021 rose 122% to 224 contracts from last year’s pandemic depressed 101. Month-over-month, the number of deals increased 28% from September’s 175 contracts. Median list prices also increased 71% year-over-year in October and 52% from September, buoyed in part by 200 East 83rd Street, a Robert A.M. Stern-designed luxury development by Naftali Group and Rockefeller Group, which reported 35 contracts ranging from $3.6 to $11.5 million. As Gerard Splendore, a broker for Coldwell Banker Warburg Realty noted: “It is not entirely surprising that most post-pandemic buyers prefer pristine and immaculate spaces that are previously unoccupied as opposed to older residences with wear and tear. After all, who wouldn’t want to move into an entirely new home, with the most modern accouterments and facilities at their disposal?”

4. THE MIGRATIONS CONTINUE

The Great American Migration was still in effect for much of 2021, except partly in reverse. Whereas in 2020 people were fleeing densely packed cities and pandemic hotspots to small-town hidden gems, suburbs, and popular second-home destinations, people returned to cities in 2021. Another group of buyers was also making moves to small to midsized cities with more affordable home prices and reasonable commuting distances to major employment centers.

5. THE RISE OF CO-PRIMARY OWNERSHIP

Happening concurrently with migrations, as remote work became the norm, was the rise of co-primary ownership. Some affluent buyers did not fully migrate to other locations; rather, they simply swapped a secondary residence for a primary residence or chose to own two primary properties in different locations and split their time based on lifestyle preferences.

LOOKING AHEAD

What will 2022 bring? Inflation, mortgage rates, and construction supply constraints are all economic factors to watch. Our Luxury Property Specialists are also keeping an eye on what wealthy international buyers will do now that U.S. travel restrictions are lifted. Markets like Miami are especially keeping close tabs on this development, per the Jills Zeder Group. “Miami has doubled the number of sales in the $5+ million range year-over-year,” they recently shared. “As international buyers make a slow comeback to the Miami market and start competing with domestic buyers, we anticipate an even tighter inventory.” And, with low inventory levels and turnkey properties commanding a premium, will we see some wealthy buyers pivoting to adjacent “aspirational” markets or adjusting their expectations and purchasing properties that need a little work?

All of these elements will be in play in 2022. The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team will analyze it all in our forthcoming “The Report,” due out in February 2022. I’ll be posting this then, but in the meantime, please contact me to discuss any of your real estate needs or questions. I’m here to help!

Joyce Rey’s Beverly Hills Market Update: 2021 Year-End Highlights

Mary Gibson — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 16:53:52 +0000

It’s a wrap!

It’s official: 2021 is over and in spite of its many challenges, it was a terrific year for Beverly Hills real estate.

As anticipated, supply and demand continued to heat the market, and low inventory inspired buyers to move quickly and decisively. Sellers and buyers of estate properties—and their agents—found ways to work around social distancing issues and transactions were brisk and efficient.

As the year progressed with its tremendous activity, the Joyce Rey team demonstrated once again that knowledge, integrity, and flexibility are key. A record-breaking career of more than four decades has confirmed that philosophy—and we’ve made it part of our daily interaction with clients and with each other.

When it comes to record-breaking, my 2019 sale of the Chartwell Estate in Bel Air held the honor in California until the Warner Estate was sold in 2020. This year, Malibu took the prize with the $177 million sale of a Paradise Cove oceanfront compound. It was California’s highest single-family home sale ever, if still behind New York’s 220 Central Park South penthouse purchase in 2019 at $238 million—a record I’d love to break! Interestingly, in each of these recent California record sales, the price has gone up even as the acreage has gone down.

The other record that was broken in 2021 is a personal one. In my long career, I have never before put two properties into escrow on New Year’s Eve, but this year I ended 2021 on that high note!

I think an auspicious close to one year signals an extraordinary start to the next and I predict an amazing 2022 for the Westside luxury marketplace.

I look forward to hearing from you and I wish you a wonderful New Year!

Historic Hollywood Hills: Helen Mirren And Taylor Hackford List $18.5 Million Estate

Kalena Phung — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 19:30:17 +0000

Acclaimed actress Helen Mirren and film director Taylor Hackford are ready to bid farewell to their lavish Hollywood Hills estate following three decades of residence and the home’s history of distinguished owners.

The lavish Hollywood Hills estate dates back to 1908 and reportedly completed construction in 1911. Since its completion, the newly listed estate has been owned exclusively by Hollywood dignitaries. The first owner was American singer and movie star Dustin Farnum of “Squaw Man,” one of Hollywood’s first feature films. The home’s second owner was journalist, columnist, and film producer Mark Hellinger who inspired "The Roaring Twenties" with James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Following was successful actress and producer Gail Patrick of “My Man Godfrey.”

In the 1980s, Mirren and Hackford purchased the esteemed property and have since renovated the home while maintaining its original aesthetics and charm. Now, the celebrity couple reportedly resides on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and are bidding farewell to their illustrious Hollywood Hills home after more than 30 years of residence. The hillside compound presents an asking price of $18.5 million and is also available for lease at $45,000 per month.

As the second largest available property in the Hollywood Hills, Mirren and Hackford’s former estate spans a whopping 6.5 acres of picturesque land with 10,200 square feet of living space. The property runs from La Brea Terrace into Runyon Canyon and consists of multiple structures: a five-bedroom main home, three-bedroom guesthouse, and apartment atop a five-car garage. At the end of a winding private driveway, the primary residence presents a white stucco exterior with a vibrant red front door and blue shutters. Entering the home, the step-up foyer highlights a dazzling chandelier and leads to the spacious living room lined with French doors. The interior layout also includes a spacious kitchen with floor to ceiling brick fireplace, lounge with bar, and wood-paneled library. Throughout the residence, decks and balconies overlook the lush grounds and bustling cityscape for an indoor-outdoor flow. Stepping outside, the exterior space offers a terrace perfect for entertaining and a swimming pool set amid the gorgeous Californian hills and palm trees.

The listing for this property is held by Joyce Rey and Stephen Apelian of Coldwell Banker Realty.

Joyce Rey Presents A Wonderful Mediterranean Revival Estate In Montecito

Haute Residence — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 19:51:23 +0000

Joyce Rey presents

A rare and extraordinary piece of Art and Antiquity, Far Afield is one of two significant historic estates remaining in the prime Montecito “Golden Quadrangle” commanding apx 10.5 acres. Far Afield was parceled off from the Original Las Tejas Estate in 1916 by early South Carolina settler William Alston Hayne and sold to famed American writer Hobart C. Chatfield-Taylor and his wife Rose Farwell, Daughter of US Senator Charlie B. Farwell. Far Afield was named in part after Farwell (Far) and Chatfield (Field) combining their last names but with the symbolism, the estate was their vacation home “far away” from their primary home in Lake Forest, Illinois. In 1917 enduring Santa Barbara “The Biltmore Hotel” Architect Francis T. Underhill designed this gorgeous Mediterranean Revival (Villa) Estate and gardens inspired by his other noted masterpieces such as Villa Solana and La Chiquita. At enormous expense and time, a 15-year restoration project completed in 2015 delivers art and architecture thoughtfully finished with hand-crafted custom details using 17th & 18th century reclaimed building materials curated throughout Europe. Each of the parquet floor patterns was custom built on-site with hand-cut French Oak, imported from historic Chateaus. A curated collection of Dutch, Italian, and Spanish antique tiles are attentively integrated throughout the estate’s interior and exterior. The elegance of the villa’s architecture, facade, and finishes are enhanced by the estate’s unparalleled and completely updated infrastructure including a structural and mechanical engineering overhaul with added subterranean levels and state-of-the-art systems rivaling modern hotel resorts of today.

What is your favorite way to network with other professionals in the real estate industry?

Alex Min, Lake Tahoe, NV: "In-person and live. Visiting the various affiliate offices has been one of my primary tools."

Bento Queiroz of The Bento Queiroz Group, Southwest Ranches/Weston, FL: "In the business field"

Brian Pearl of the Pearl Antonacci Group, "Currently, social media, group Zoom calls and virtual happy hours."

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "Phone calls."

Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL: "I like attending open houses and conferences such as the Power Women Conference held every year by Biznow."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "Golf events or other charity events that are going on."

David Welles, Wellington, FL: "During COVID, the use of Zoom calls with my associates from around the country has helped establish new and lasting relationships that will lead to new business opportunities."

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. We started our Broadway Realty group that increased to over 700 professionals in a couple of weeks."

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."

Jennifer Brilliant, Surfside, FL: "We don't have meetings and events in person as much anymore, so I rely heavily on email and calls with other realtors to discuss new listings, etc."

Jochen Lucke, Highlands, NC: "LeadingRE, Inman conference, one-on-one with brokers in target markets."

Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: "Private Facebook groups."

Kathleen Floryan, Jacksonville, FL: "IdealEstate, LinkedIn, various Facebook groups, Virtual Meetings, and one on one phone calls."

KC Martin, Paris, France: "While there are many online tools currently available in the market, personal contact is still the best way to build and maintain personal and professional relationships. 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."

Roberta Ingletto of RGI Realty, South Miami/Pinecrest, FL: "Smaller events/meetings more on a personal level."

Ryan Knowles, Bahamas: "Instagram."

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

Scott Goshorn, Brentwood, CA: "Events and masterminds."

Tim Fenton of Blue Zone Realty International, Costa Rica: "I prefer to communicate in live time, either on zoom or on the phone. So much emotion is lost in text or email."

Real Estate Prices Are Up In U.S. Markets And Abroad

Andres E. Caceres — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 14:20:53 +0000

From East to West, North to South, real estate prices in the U.S., Canada, and Costa Rica are up, as evidenced by multiple testimonials from members of the Haute Residence Network of top real estate professionals.

Read below for how they see their areas' price activity in real estate.

Alex Min, Lake Tahoe, NV: "Up 30% at a minimum in the last six months."

Alison Melton of The Melton Group, Hilton Head Island/Bluffton, SC: "On average, we are +30% from last year and sales volume is +64% for residential homes."

Bento Queiroz of The Bento Queiroz Group, Southwest Ranches/Weston, FL: "Inventory is shrinking and therefore prices are steadily increasing."

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."

Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA: "Prices are generally up 5-7% for properties under $6 million."

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."

KC Martin, Paris, France: "Prices are generally holding or up, depending on the area. Buyers are looking to make moves in real estate now with interest rates low, Covid uncertainty, and looking to diversify their investment portfolios, which includes real property."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA: "We have seen prices, in some areas, climb, and in other areas [stay] steady."

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."

Scott Goshorn, Brentwood, CA: "Up. However, the market was on fire about this time last year... then Covid threw a bucket of cold water on it."

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

What Are The Preferred Real Estate Tech Tools For Professionals?

Andres E. Caceres — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 17:27:23 +0000

Real estate tech tools have seen increased use over the last decade, and perhaps no year signified the urgency for adapting to new trends more than 2020. What technology do real estate agents use? We spoke with members of the Haute Residence Network of top industry professionals on the tech tools they engage with today that they may not have used so much in the past.

Brian Pearl of the Pearl Antonacci Group, "Zoom and Matterport."

Catherine Burgess of The Burgess Group, Boulder, CO: "Apple Watch, and a weekly newsletter"

Clara Hartree, West Vancouver, British Columbia: "Instagram."

Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL: "I'm definitely using Instagram a lot more in order to strengthen my brand presence digitally. This has helped me generate leads at a volume I did not think was possible."

Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL: "More online signing and contract forms. Not enough time in the day to write out the contract and scan for signature. this just streamlines the process to get a contract out fast in an ever-changing market."

David Welles, Wellington, FL: "Zoom calls with clients for updates and referrals and Matterport for my significant listings."

Debra Johnston, Atlanta, GA: "Mostly analytical tools that were not previously available."

Doug Labor, Steamboat Springs, CO: "Facetime. With our market so active, and it being a resort/retirement area, buyers need to jump on a listing as soon as possible, and the quickest way to get the property seen is by Facetime."

Elisa Linton, Humble/Kingwood (Houston metro area), TX: "CRM."

Elliot Bogod of Broadway Realty, Upper West Side, New York City, NY: "We use our smartphones to access apps to post updates and changes to listings."

Ernie Carswell of Carswell and Associates, West Hollywood, CA: "Zoom changed our world; Google Mapping."

Frank D. Isoldi, Westfield, NJ: "Every listing now has a virtual iGuide tour and we are doing more and more personal video tours as well."

Joyce Rey, Beverly Hills, CA: "I would say I use Instagram, YouTube, and publish articles on my blog a lot more often than [in] previous years. Instagram and YouTube are truly two of the top channels for promoting our listings/business!"

Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia: "Facebook Business page and Instagram."

KC Martin of Sotheby’s International Realty, Paris, France: "My cell phones (plural) are probably my greatest asset in the market today. Staying connected real-time via online meetings, phone calls, video calls, apps, text, and email keeps me in touch and informed and up to date daily."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA: "Active Pipe."

Krista Richman, Fort Lauderdale, FL: "We have been using Zoom for years to connect with international buyers. Now, we use it for our American buyers as well."

Leslie S. Modell of the Leslie S. Modell Team, Midtown East, New York City, NY: "Zoom, Microsoft teams, and digital staging."

Roberta Ingletto of RGI Realty, South Miami/Pinecrest, FL: "Zoom meetings, FaceTime to show properties; social media in general."

Ryan Knowles, Bahamas: "Zoom and WhatsApp."

Sandra Fiorenza, Miami Beach, FL: "Mostly Instagram."

Scott Goshorn, Brentwood, CA: "YouTube marketing."

Tim Fenton of Blue Zone Realty International, Costa Rica: "Definitely Zoom and other video conferencing tools."

Southern California Real Estate Expectations For 2021

Andres E. Caceres — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 14:00:25 +0000

The Southern California real estate market is heading to a busy 2021. Experts of the world-famous region, all members of the Haute Residence network of top real estate professionals, provided their insights on the markets in their areas, including the overall Los Angeles metropolitan area.

670 Perugia Way, Los Angeles, CA 90077, listed by Ernie Carswell

Photo Credit: Jonathan Golden

“I am so proud of the City of West Hollywood. Of all the Los Angeles regional townships, West Hollywood has been visionary in its development plan for the beautification of the famous Sunset Strip retail & restaurant locations. Impressive world-class hotels have located here. Parks and broad avenues have been created. West Hollywood is a joy.” - Ernie Carswell, West Hollywood, CA.

22065 Pacific Coast Hwy, Unit 1, Malibu, CA 90265, Listed by Jeff Chertow

"Malibu is still one of the most sought after locations in the world. I believe that prices will continue to increase as inventory is low. In 2020 we saw an influx of people moving to Malibu and I believe that people who have moved here have realized what an incredible place Malibu is." - Jeff Chertow, Malibu, CA.

Miramar Beach, Montecito, CA 93108, listed by Cristal Clarke

Photo Credit: David Palermo

“Montecito has seen exceptionally strong sales volumes in 2020 as the urban flight into our local communities continues. This, combined with increased Buyer activity from local homeowners, is expected to continue in the early part of 2021 and I see no reason for it to be otherwise.” - Cristal Clarke, Montecito, CA.

3555 Shaw Ranch Road, Pasadena CA 91107, listed by Tim Durkovic

Photo Credit: Mark Liddell

“Based on what has been happening as we close out 2020, I fully expect the Pasadena market to continue to thrive into 2021. Our median price just broke 1M and we are still seeing tight inventory, which is leading to multiple offers on many transactions at every price point! There is an influx of people wanting to live in Pasadena from the more western areas of LA because buyers typically can get more space, more house for their money, and a fantastic overall quality of life, all while still being minutes to everything.” - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

Montecito, CA, listed by Wendy Gragg

Photo Credit: David Palermo Photography

“November marked the 13^th consecutive month of very low inventory and it set an all-time record low of only 1.99 months of supply. Buyers, especially from Los Angeles and San Francisco have created a record-breaking year in sales revenue in 2020. I expect to see low supply and strong demand continue into 2021.” - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

2576 Bowmont Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, listed by Jeff Hyland

“Just as the Spanish Flu gave birth to the Roaring Twenties, we feel the years ahead have many records that will be broken. Buyers who want to be in here have multiple residences and California Taxes aren’t any concern.” - Jeff Hyland, Bel-Air, CA.

650 Picacho Lane, Montecito, CA 93108, listed by Joyce Rey

“I am anticipating that 2021 will be the best year ever for Luxury Real Estate in Southern California. Normally December is a relatively quiet month! However, the Joyce Rey team is currently negotiating five properties between five and $20 million, which is an extraordinary number at any time! Both hope and optimism are evident with vaccines on the horizon! An improving economy and renewed focus on the home environment will spur residential investments in 2021!” - Joyce Rey, Beverly Hills, CA.

Beach House, 1300 The Strand, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254, listed by Cindy Shearin

“With the new year upon us, we expect a continuing robust market in the greater South Bay. Luckily, real estate here has been hot for both the buyer and the seller during the 2020 pandemic. This has been largely due to our area's desirability in which to live, low inventory, and minimal new construction." - Cindy Shearin, South Bay area, CA.

4639 Gorham Drive, Corona del Mar, CA 92625, listed by Timothy Norman Tamura

Photo Credit: Andrew Bramasco

“The overall Corona del Mar market has seen a 32% increase in sales for 2020 vs. 2019. The year over year growth in Corona del Mar can be attributed in part to pent up demand following the initial pause caused by Covid-19, migration from dense urban metro markets, i.e. NY, LA, SF, and historically low-interest rates. The foregoing factors have placed pressure on the already strained inventory. For 2021, it appears the current pace will continue, unless and until inventory and demand are more in equilibrium.” - Timothy Norman Tamura, Corona del Mar, CA.

12776 Aurora PL #3, Playa Vista, CA 90293, listed by Kris Zacuto

Photo Credit: Hilton & Hyland

"We anticipate seeing current trends continue with a slight rise in home sales and home prices in most Silicon Beach areas - such as Westchester, Mar Vista and Playa Del Rey. Playa Vista home sales should also maintain similar levels in 2021 although prices behave a bit differently in that market as home and condo prices are seeing decreases year over year." - Kris Zacuto, Silicon Beach, CA.

Joyce Rey On Beverly Hills Real Estate Performance In 2020

Haute Residence — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 14:10:14 +0000

Editor's note: Joyce Rey talks about the Beverly Hills, California real estate market performance in 2020 in this Q&A with Haute Residence.

How did the real estate market look in the beginning of 2020?

The forecast in January 2020 was very positive and we were anticipating a stellar year. It got rocky briefly in March/April due to COVID, but things have bounced back now.

Photo Credit: Jonathan Golden Photography

What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

Inventory has been limited throughout the year. This has caused pressure on pricing. With increased demand in the luxury sector, prices have gone up. Nationwide, price increases are up approx. 5% year to date compared to 2019.

Professionally, what have you learned in 2020?

I've learned to enjoy working from my beautiful home enviornment as opposed to being in the office. However, no matter where I'm working there's never enough hours in the day!

Joyce Rey On Beverly Hills Real Estate During The 3rd Quarter Of 2020

Haute Residence — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 15:07:08 +0000

Editor's note: Real estate expert Joyce Rey talks about Beverly Hills, California real estate during the 3rd quarter of 2020 in this Q&A with Haute Residence.

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Beverly Hills?

The third-quarter was very good, however the fourth-quarter promises to be record-breaking when comparing 2020 sales volume year to date to 2019.

Photo Credit: Jim Bartsch Photography

How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

Westside sales are well ahead for properties in excess of $5 million+ up 12%, for properties $10 million+ up 26%, and for properties $20 million+ up 50%! Due to low inventory, there has been pressure on pricing as well. We currently have a real seller's market with considerable demand!

Photo Credit: Jim Bartsch Photography

Do you expect a more or less active 4th quarter for this year than previous years?

There’s a very high demand for properties right now, and I think it will be a fantastic fourth-quarter. So many people are looking to make a move because of COVID and a strong desire for a more comfortable home/work life.

Los Angeles Real Estate Market Update, With Joyce Rey

Haute Residence — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:19:50 +0000

Editor's Note: Los Angeles real estate expert Joyce Rey joined us for a Q&A on the area's market over the last months and going forward, and more.

Haute Residence: Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

Joyce Rey: Because of the tremendous new focus on one's residential environment, we have seen a huge increase in demand for new housing. Coupled with the low inventory, this demand has fueled increasing prices. Typically, buyers are looking for home office space, at-home gyms, and additional privacy. Also, the economic uncertainty is driving investment in residential real estate as a flight to safety.

Photo Credit: Marc Angeles, Unlimited Style Photography

HR: Is there an area from which buyers are relocating to your market?

JR: We have seen a number of New York buyers, but the majority are local California buyers.

Photo Credit: Jim Bartsch

HR: How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

JR: The summer months in 2020 were considerably better than the summer of 2019. And of course, the current low interest rates have also made cash savings an unattractive investment and buying real estate a smart investment.

Los Angeles Real Estate Market During Second Quarter of 2020, By Joyce Rey

Haute Residence — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:15:40 +0000

Editor's Note: Los Angeles real estate expert Joyce Rey talks about the market's performance during the second quarter of 2020.

What do you ask clients to not have displayed when showing their home for sale?

I just ask my clients to simplify. I tell them to clear out small items, personal items, and valuables. Most sellers accumulate too much over time. Their homes will often show in a better light with less distractions.

Photo Credit: Marc Angeles

How did the second quarter of 2020 real estate perform in your market?

April and May showed a significant decline in sales volume. However, June picked up dramatically. So, the overall sales volume for the quarter was not as low as expected. The high-end market performed very well during this time.

Photo Credit: Marc Angeles

Is it currently a buyer or seller’s market in your market?

It is still a seller's market! Well-priced properties frequently see multiple offers.

Photo Credit: Marc Angeles

What do you love about the housing market in your market?

I am passionate about it all. I love the diversity of architectural styles, as well as the changing personalities of the various neighborhoods. I love the excitement of the latest architectural designs and the beauty of the many landmark properties! I also find the extraordinary city/ocean/pastoral views an exciting plus in so many areas. Most of all, I love the people - The wonderful buyers and sellers that I have the pleasure of working with on a daily basis.

Cyd Greer: "I sold a property last year because of Matterport (3-D technology)... We help (sellers) understand about flexibility and that we will get through it... Communicate with buyers to tell them to get ready to act. We are expecting pent-up demand after everything stabilizes. I'm already seeing it a bit.

Joyce Rey: "The luxury market is still doing well here (in Los Angeles). Beverly Hills is a magnet around the world because of the weather and the entertainment business that is ready to take off."

Joyce Rey On Beverly Hills’ Real Estate Market

Colin Daniels, M.A. — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 19:12:58 +0000

For more than four decades, Joyce Rey, executive director, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, has proven herself indispensable in the refined world of international luxury real estate. She is nothing short of a legend—among her celebrity clients, her professional colleagues, and the community she serves. One of the most respected names in top-tier real estate worldwide, Rey has amassed more than $3 billion in career sales. In 2017, Rey has had a record-breaking year including her newest listing of the Perenchio Estate, currently listed for $350 million dollars. With a dazzling list of accolades, awards, and sales records, she is known, most of all, for her incomparable knowledge of the luxury marketplace, her acute ability to negotiate even the most complex transactions, and her particular talent for putting clients at ease. Haute Residence caught up with Rey to discuss how the Beverly Hills real estate market is performing and what needs buyers are having so far in 2020.

How has the luxury real estate market in Beverly Hills been performing so far in 2020?

The luxury market has started extremely well on the Westside of Los Angeles. Sales are up at every price level. All sales $5M+ are up 24% year over year. Properties $10M+ and $20M+ are both up 40%. This year, we have a number of sales over $30M. This is in contrast to the beginning of 2019 where sales in the luxury segment were down 25% from the prior year. This is great news for the luxury market.

What are buyers looking for in their homes in Beverly Hills in 2020?

Luxury buyers typically have a long list of preferences when looking for a new home: prime location, privacy, a strong demand for both city and ocean views, architectural integrity, and quality construction. Additionally, a large kitchen, large family room, movie theatre, gym, and indoor/outdoor flow are extremely popular requests.

Which has been a highlight sale for you so far in 2020?

Well, it’s going to be hard to beat the magnificent Chartwell estate sale which I closed in December 2019. At the time, it was a record-breaking sale for the US and California. It will definitely be one of my favorite sales for years to come. Chartwell is a stunning limestone manor on nearly 12 acres with city and ocean views. It is the epitome of elegance and sophistication.

Are there any new restaurants or other spots in Beverly Hills that you’ve been loving lately?

Yes – there is a fun Greek restaurant named Louka directly across the street from my new office in Beverly Hills. Also, last year the Crustacean re-opened after an extensive re-model and their fabulous Asian-Fusion menu is out of this world. I recently loved the Michelangelo exhibit at The Getty Museum. For upcoming, I’m so excited about the incredible Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Museum which is opening in December on Wilshire Blvd. The architect is Renzo Piano. I absolutely loved my personal tour and nothing will be more exciting than to view the exhibits and watch a movie premier there!

It’s time for spring break. What is a fun activity in Beverly Hills?

Most Angelenos travel to vacation hot spots outside of LA for Spring Break. However, because of the current viral epidemic, I see most people staying in town and avoiding travel until this disease passes. Hitting the beach in Malibu or enjoying a nice long getaway in Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, or La Jolla sounds like a great idea to me!
