"The Brickell market has been transforming itself from an investor's heaven to an actual metropolis with end-users. It has become a vibrant community full of young families and millennials.  We are experiencing a huge surge in demand, especially from New York and California buyers. Condo sales have increased YTD 25% compared to the overall volume in the same time period for 2019. We have also seen bidding wars in many recently listed single-family homes." - Sebastian Acosta, Brickell Key, FL.

"For 2021, Fisher Island is going to take a very dynamic upturn in sales and prices. The reason for that is because we've had a huge influx of northeasterners that have descended here, wanting to get out of the cities because of Covid and the winter months. We are seeing much more activity of new renters and new buyers. The excitement lies in these renters that have come to rent here for the high season to experience everything that Fisher Island has to offer, which is an incredible lifestyle, sea breeze, and exclusivity. Those renters are commenting that they will be looking to buy starting in 2021. It's a small enclave that people from all over the world converge in and make friends." - Elena Bluntzer, Fisher Island, FL.

"I expect the demand in the area to continue to be strong in 2021. People will continue to move to this area because it is within walking distance to the beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and a multitude of other shopping and dining options. It is known for the great public schools and quiet, peaceful neighborhoods. There are also plenty of waterfront properties for boaters. This beautiful area offers all of this while still being close to main highways and airports." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"The luxury market in Aventura will continue an upward swing for 2021. The current high influx, of buyers from all over the country that are relocating to South Florida, is driving prices higher as a result and the inventory of available properties decreasing. This is true not just in Aventura but all over the South Florida market." - Sylvia Fragos, Aventura, FL.

"Delray's housing market is expected to flourish and be on the move in 2021. It is predetermined by five key housing indicators: mortgage rates, the existing home median sales price appreciation, existing home sales, single-family home housing, and the homeownership rate." - Connie Huergo, Delray Beach, FL.

"I believe the high-demand for single-family homes is going to continue in 2021. I think that people who are renting homes will turn into home buyers, and new/remodeled homes will be more attractive to buyers and sell faster than homes that need upgrades." - Roberta Ingletto, Pinecrest/South Miami, FL.

"2021 will be an extraordinary opportunity to create what I define as a legacy purchase, a home not only for the immediate needs of your family but also for future generations. Ocean Reef, USA’s #2 Private Club, is the ultimate multi-generational community with unparalleled amenities, plus safety and security.” - Mary Lee, Ocean Reef, FL.

“Everyone calls Edgewater the new Miami and I couldn’t agree more with such a statement. Luxury condos such as Elysee and Missoni Baia will have a tremendous positive impact on the real estate landscape of the area. It’s already got a unique urban vibe. I can’t wait to see its full transformation in the near future.” - Claudia Llanes, Edgewater, FL.

"Demand for single-family homes continues to peak each month as high-tax state residents who have been preparing since 2018 are ready as ever for their dream life in Miami Beach. Now seeking pandemic shelter as well, working from home, managing your business, or enjoying your retirement has no boundaries and there’s not a more desired zip code than 33139 or 33140." - Paola Marulanda, Miami Beach Islands, FL.

"Venetian Islands is without doubt one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Miami due to the quality single-family homes and lifestyle it offers. As of today, and despite the year we have been facing, the sales volume for single-family homes in Venetian Islands is surpassing the amount we have seen in previous years mainly due to the large migration of population from the north of the country. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming year along with new international buyers approaching as borders start opening. The majority of property owners looking to downsize and sell their property at a premium price will continue listing their homes, keeping the market hot while many new buyers build new properties, making out of Venetian Islands a more renovating and premium neighborhood." - Alvaro Nuñez Alfaro, Venetian Islands, FL.

"After an unexpected 2020 that truly transformed the demand dynamics for luxury Real Estate in Southwest Ranches, we could not be more excited for a stellar 2021, as we continue to see an exponential interest for space, privacy and luxurious amenities in the private residential properties. Southwest Ranches and AKAI Estates offer all of that and much more!" - Bento Queiroz, Southwest Ranches, FL.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Roberta Ingletto: "I like to do things that are win-win. I think ethics and honesty are important. I appreciate colleagues and people when they work in this fashion. I like to work as a team even with the realtors and brokers on the other side... When I'm talking to my buyers and sellers, it's about making it work for everybody... We have a huge market. I have been in Miami for 25 years and you can see the growth and development. More companies are moving down so it's a bigger city. We have so much product to offer, that we can work together to present Miami for what it is and what it has to offer, I try to raise the standards of our industry."

Claudia Llanes: "I'm so excited about Natiivo Miami because it provides solutions to problems in the market. We are providing the comfort of a home with all appliances, and the best amenities, 70,000 square feet of them in three full floors. There are no rental restrictions, you can rent it for as little as one day or as much as one year and anything between it. It's located in Downtown Miami, three minutes away from the Port of Miami, which sees six million passengers on a yearly basis. We are fortunate to have a building that is in the heart of a highly dense short-term rental market. This creates a huge opportunity for owners because not only will you have a beautiful second home in Miami but you can put it to rent and work for you when you are not occupying it.

Paola Marulanda: "[On her exclusive SoFi listing, The Beach House] It is a two-story residence. It has the whole space and feel of a single-family home. It's what I call the ultimate hybrid property because it can satisfy the safety, privacy, and amenities of a secure building. As much as the single-family market is absolutely killing it and stealing the show, there are a lot of people who come from cities used to being in condos and the families sometimes don't feel as secure and comfortable without having the assets that a building has. This property, you cannot make it up. There is nothing like it in South of Fifth which is such an elite neighborhood."

The minds behind Natiivo Miami, (Natiivo Miami) the revolutionary home-sharing-friendly development that was designed to create a hybrid hospitality and residential experience for owners and travelers alike, joined Haute Residence for a webinar to talk about the project.

Keith Menin, Hospitality Entrepreneur, Developer of Natiivo Miami, and Founder of Menin Hospitality, Alex Xakoustis, Founder of ITALKRAFT, and Raymond Fort, Associate AIA, LEED AP, award-winning architect, design manager and project manager at Arquitectonica were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson and Seth Semilof. The dialogue went deep into the new development and its unique concept.

Watch the webinar below.

Natiivo Miami is a gamechanger in the “eat, work, live and play” world of development. Within Natiivo Miami is Creative HQ, Miami’s first-ever creative office-condos, giving flexibility to owners, as well as the use of Natiivo’s exclusive members-only concept, Natiivo Social. Natiivo Social is three floors of curated amenities, including a pool with pool-side cabanas, outdoor terraces, state-of-the-art fitness center, restaurant and cocktail bar, outdoor dining, entertainment spaces, media room, programmed events, speakeasy, DJ booth, Peloton studio, yoga, and more.

Highlight from the webinar:

"We saw a shift in hospitality," said Menin as he spoke of the project's beginnings. "We identified an amazing piece of property in downtown Miami. So we really wanted to create as a family a unique tower, not just a rental building, or a condominium with a gym but really something special. We are building a fantastic building that's over 50 stories tall. The first six floors are an incredible brick facade, which is going to be an office condo called Creative HQ, which is being sold by ONE Sotheby's International Realty. (Furthermore,) Natiivo Social is 70,000 square feet of the most amazing amenities that anybody has seen."

"We took the elements of what was the historic downtown," said Fort. "We looked at the Freedom Tower. We looked at the older brick buildings than in downtown in downtown Miami. We even looked at older brick buildings in Miami that were previously demolished, just to understand what used to be there, and we took that as the inspiration for what are the office levels of the project."

"In a platform like Natiivo, as it's going to be a lot of home-sharing, they have the hotel components," said Xakoustis. "The design (team) is going to make sure that it's doable, buildable, and that will last a long time. At this point, every builder, every developer, they're very careful with their budgets and what they offer. You have to be on your best game and create a product that is going to be amazing. Being part of this great team, I think it wasn't that difficult for us we follow the leads and we try to to make them shine."

Menin put in perspective the different options that the building allows. "We're really a building that's very flexible. I think we're selling so successful because people like (that) there's not really a restriction. You know, it's not a condotel that the deed is not a deed. It's not just a residential tower where you can rent out short term. You can buy real estate and do as you wish, with our rules and regulations."

Cervera Real Estate is handling sales for Natiivo Miami and its residential offerings. Natiivo Miami has continued its remarkable sales momentum and the building is well over 50% sold.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Diane Holowesko: "we started a campaign that was called 'You were here for us will be you were here for us, we will be there for you,' promoting a message that, especially to our existing clients and our client database, how much we appreciate them and when we do open back up, we are going to be here for (them)... As of yesterday, the government started allowing private aircraft and yachts (into the Bahamas) from around the world... The possibility of COVID-19  coming along is somewhat high. So we need to position ourselves to be ready to service our clients and meet their needs virtually if we happen to go into another lockdown again come this winter... What we do is lay out our tax situation so that clients use the information to their benefit... The Bahamas clients come from the US, Canada, the UK, and South America. It's simple to purchase in the Bahamas. The turnaround time is 30-45 days. We help the new buyers set up bank accounts and establish accounts with the utilities... For $750,000, you can apply for permanent residency in the Bahamas, not requiring to spend a specific number of days (here)... The proximity to the US helps us because the government treats us more like family. I think a lot of our buyers and investors find comfort in that fact. We have the tax benefits and stability of our government.

Laurent Locchi: "(During the quarantine,) it was not really the moment for selling things. It was much more a kind of being strung together message than selling properties ... For foreigners, there is no income, capital gains, or inheritance tax, and you can be a resident by renting or buying a property... The best advantage we have is being a micro-state. The information (about COVID-19) was given in real-time, which was not really the case for other countries...Being a micro-state and having that proximity to the authorities helps. Everybody knows everybody and can share information with each other... The use of WhatsApp is incredible. I mean, the way we use WhatsApp groups (internally), for example, or just directly (with) the clients. It was really a big demand for real-time information because everything was frozen... Monaco is known for being the playground of the rich, but there's a real quality of life here in the middle of Europe with this Mediterranean climate. It is a dynamic state, always trying to reinvent itself, always welcoming to all foreigners. I know why everyone wants to live in Monaco, and I'm sure when you come here, you will know."

Sue Nickason: "We have been focusing on relationship-building, thoughtful analysis of the need of our customers, and producing content services to meet that need... Clients are looking for factual information and easy to find information. We've always positioned ourselves as trusted advisors to our clients. More importantly than ever, it's about being purveyors of that information.... The Cayman Islands attract ultra-high-net-worth individuals who are globally mobile and want to establish permanent residency here to take advantage of the tax neutrality... Buyers are coming to establish a permanent residence, vacation property, and investment properties... If there's any silver lining, it's that governments have made services more available on digital... Tax neutrality, low density, high standard of living, infrastructure, and we are the culinary capital of the Caribbean. We have a beautiful natural marine environment that invites amazing diving and marine activities. The Cayman Islands has everything to be as active or as relaxed as you choose to be here... We focus on developing places where people want to spend their lives. Safety and stability is going to be an important part of the value that we offer here going forward... We really are a pro-business environment. This is a place where you know we have very well qualified people in the private sector, a very efficient civil service that focuses on attracting new business and residents. That's all done through a beautiful Cayman-kind culture.

Natiivo Miami and the Evolution of the Built Environment in Miami

A special conversation with Keith Menin, Alex Xakoustis, and Raymond Fort, the three industry leaders who have joined forces to bring to life Natiivo Miami, the revolutionary for-sale, homesharing-friendly development located in Downtown Miami. REGISTER.

Highlight quotes from today's webinar:

Kristin Ehrgott: "Typically, the inventory would drive the demand, but now the market is being driven by the demand of the buyers. I just put a house in the market for $2 million and got an offer for almost full price on the same day... We officially announced our joining up with Compass last week, so I've been getting my team on the Compass platform and using the technology. As soon as we announced, we were ready... Due to the amount of demand from our current clients and other Compass agents, I have not reinitiated my Zillow account... I have a client that owned a high-rise condo in Jersey City. They fled to a parent's beach house for a couple of weeks (to spend the quarantine). They contacted me and said they did not want to go back to the condo. They wanted us to sell it. The home they ended up moving to had 11 offers. I found a strategy to persuade the sellers to accept my buyers' offer, and located a buyer for their property in Jersey City... Deals are getting easier to transact. Buyers and sellers are getting together and being reasonable... If you're in an area where inventory is limited and demand is high, people make money on real estate investments."

Margaret Miggins: "It was easier to say vacant homes (during quarantine)...  With the pandemic, many kids came back to their parents' home. It gave people a pause. We are noticing that things are opening back up. There are multiple bid situations going on all over the place... One of our agents just put a listing on and within two minutes, she had six appointments... We are seeing a lot of New Yorkers coming out... It's a robust real estate market now. There's little inventory and everything is getting absorbed quickly... We are seeing multiple bids in every price point. People like to feel settled. We are getting a lot of (requests for) home offices, a patch of grass (from buyers)... When we heard that Compass was opening up in Jersey, we loved it. We love everything about their marketing... Normally, in August we take off the last two weeks. I don't think we will be doing that this year. We lost our Spring market and it's now opening up, so everyone is going to want to get in (their new home) for the school year."

Michael W. Stanco: "We have been operating and it's an exciting time to represent the people in this region... We feel Compass is light years ahead of any other brokers... We are looking forward to servicing sellers and buyers because this area has never been in as much demand as now... It's all about relationships. People come to us because they trust us. Every relationship can go in every direction, so we take every client seriously and treat them equally... Pricing has not gone down these last months. It has been stable or even going up... Demand coming out of Manhattan has been there through the years, but now more than ever. For people coming out of the City, either it's a full-time move, or a second-home buyer coming out of Manhattan that is looking to come during the weekend or the summer... Going forward, there is no downtime. August will likely be busier than ever. I think we will go straight through the Fall... Long Island is a great place to live, and we are seeing a resurgence and renewed interest that will push our business and lives in a positive way."
