Highlight quotes:

Mark Peterson: "We are about an hour and a half to two hours south of the Bay Area of San Francisco we have always been a resort or 2nd home community; 40% of our transactions involve 2nd homes. We have buyers from New York, Florida and different areas of California. We have an inventory squeeze right now. While there are certainly homes on the market for sale, buyers can't quite find exactly what they want for that price, so we really look to work with our buyers to figure out what are their priorities. It is a great market to buy right now from a macroeconomic perspective... Our area is dependent on hospitality, an industry that is hurting right now but is talking about Spring and reopening. It's actually going to be probably a good thing that people see, 'Well, this is a community that's really concerned and really good about safety'... The infrastructure, the education, the great weather year-round, the natural beauty, and the amount of space will make the Bay Area and surrounding communities always be in demand."

Alvaro Nuñez: "The market in Miami has been spectacular; we've been one of the lucky destinations. It's becoming the most desirable place, if not one of the top places, to be, and we've seen a huge demand of people coming down not just to rent but to buy, so the demand obviously has been increasing. What at the beginning of the pandemic seemed to be a huge demand for single-family homes, now we're starting to see transitioning to higher demand for condos, and this is a good thing because when it comes to the inventory, we were seeing a little bit of difficulty... Everybody wants to have a great lifestyle. Celebrities want to be in the scene. Those that don't want to be in the scene, still want to be in a place where they can enjoy the lifestyle. Miami is open, right here right now is where [and when] everything is moving."

Leslie S. Modell: "People are getting vaccinated and it's bringing the buyers back to the City. Me personally, I've had an extremely active first quarter in New York. I'm seeing buyers from all markets, from $3 million and under with first-time homeowners trying to get into this really opportunistic buying that we're in right now in New York, and then the higher levels over $4 million are doing very well as well... People tend to like to buy when everyone else is buying; it gives a feeling of comfort, but that's not when to buy. [That time] is now, when the prices are low and they are definitely moving up... New York is getting back into its groove. We're going to get the vaccine; the restaurants will be opening; we're hitting the Spring market; interest rates are very low and will probably stay low for some time. I've been very successful getting buyers off the sidelines and getting very good pricing for my sellers."

How has the luxury real estate market in your area been performing so far in 2020?

Carmel-by-the-Sea is performing really well in the $2-$3.5M segment with limited inventory and a lot of homes selling off-market before getting to MLS. The $5M+ market has been a little slow to start. As a second home market, home purchases are discretionary so buyers need to really see the property they love. Pebble Beach has been really strong for the past three years and the start to the year was a little quieter. But we’re seeing it pick back up.

What are buyers looking for in their homes in Pebble Beach/Carmel in 2020?

People want finished homes that are move-in ready. Contemporary looks and current finishes. Coastal and airy hues and tones. Especially as a predominantly second-home market; buyers want homes that they can start enjoying right away. They don’t have the time or desire to take on a remodeling project that could take a couple of years. We are counseling sellers and working with them to get their homes as turn-key as possible. Nine out of 10 buyers don’t have the vision for seeing past sellers' personal items or envisioning how a home could be refreshed. We need to get homes ready that speak to buyers upon their first launch and debut.

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

We’re really just getting started with the year, and had a number of closings and a large number of homes in contract. Some fabulous properties. But our highlight thus far hasn’t been the largest sale, but more about how we’ve been able to help both sellers and buyers. One seller, we refreshed her home with Compass Concierge and had a quick sale that “changed her life." She was able to sell her property and move on to the next chapter of her life. We also have had a couple of young families move here from the Bay Area that made a conscious decision to improve their quality of life. Those are the really rewarding highlights thus far.

Are there any new restaurants or other spots in your market you’ve been loving lately?

Enjoying a sunset by the firepits at Spanish Bay with the bagpiper is always a great way to wrap up a day and kick off the evening. There are so many great restaurants depending on your cravings. We’re pretty excited about a couple of market/ restaurants still being built out that showcase our region’s farm-fresh leadership for the country. Roughly 70 percent of the country’s leafy greens are grown here. We’re fortunate to have farmers’ markets seven days a week and a bounty of fresh seafood for chefs to always create seasonal menus.

It’s time for spring break. What is a fun activity in your market?

We’re all about getting outside and all of the recreational opportunities. Getting out for a hike or stroll on the beach is always available. But with a little more time, we love heading down the coast towards Big Sur. The mountains are lush and green and the sand on the beaches is crystal white. After a hike, it's always fun to wrap up with a snack or drink at Nepenthe Restaurant.
