They were hosted by Haute Living and Haute Residence director Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Carlo Habet: “We have a lot of people that come in to us based on our professionalism, one, but secondly, our response. We are trying to learn our client, understand what they really want, and then present the options that we really believe in. We also work very well with other agents. We have good relationships throughout the country. That is a big plus because essentially, it gives us access to everything in the country. If someone likes dealing with us, we can broker anything for them.”

Elisa Linton: “I am having fun learning and growing my business. Into 2021, we are still rocking and rolling, so the Houston market is still hot. It is still an active seller's market. Homes on the market are still low, inventory is still now, and, of course, interest rates, a big part, are still low. Both buyers and sellers are able to take advantage of this market and come out on top. My goal is to be there to assist with each transaction.”

Steve Nassar: “We have the Portland Real Estate Podcast. Our listener base is mostly professionals, other realtors, industry insiders. It is a tremendous credibility that I am the expert that other experts go to. I have a podcast listened to by other agents for the inside information on what is happening, what is working, and what is going on in real estate. Where it has been helpful for me with business is I am also a broker owner. I am one of the partners at Premiere Property Group. We are the biggest brokerage in Oregon, so it helps with recruiting as well.”

Vanessa Neumann-Andrews: “The number are phenomenal, and they are climbing as far as the agents, the offices, and the sales have been off the charts. They spend a good couple million dollars on digital marketing and print. With the ties to their auction house and their very elite clientele, we can market to them as well. It has been quite phenomenal: the tools, the instructors, the guidance, the leads, and the quality. They call it a white glove service that we have been known for and it is what people expect.”

Nancy Tallman: “It is a lower cost of living here. We do not have homeless people. We do not have crime. We do not have any of the negatives of big city life, but we have culture, arts, great food, all the positives, so it is attracting a lot of people. Our golf course communities had the highest increase of sales in our entire market. People move there full time. They move their families there. They are interested in getting away from the stress of city life.”

There is something so incredible about being on the water - it's beautiful, it's relaxing and it provides so many opportunities to have fun and enjoy our fantastic summers. This property in Lake Oswego, one of Oregon’s most sought-after communities, is extra special because it is one of the best waterfront lots on Oswego Lake with 330 feet of shoreline and a waterfront guest house! The main house is 5,608 sq. feet and the guest house, itself a luxury destination, is a fully self-contained 722 sq. feet. Sitting on .61 acres, this estate is one of the top 10 largest on the lake.

Beautiful design, inside and out, makes daily living feel effortless here. The indoor/outdoor flow of this home's floor plan is perfectly suited for the 2021 lifestyle and, of course, entertaining.

The boathouse is fully enclosed with a deck at water level and storage racks for kayaks, paddleboards and wakeboards.

While the home is close to downtown Lake Oswego's shopping, restaurants and weekly farmers market and a short drive to downtown Portland and Portland International Airport, you may never feel the need to leave this luxurious estate when the pool is right outside and the lake is just a few steps away!

Haute Residence: What tech tools do you use today that you did not use so much in the past?

Terry Sprague: I call them “relationship tools” as technology is only a small part of what I use. The umbrella of these tools is really my relationship with Christie’s International Real Estate. Christie’s opens the door to local, national and international clients who are looking to move into my market. It’s my way of “getting into the jet before it lands” - reaching potential clients early, before they even arrive in town.

The next level of “tools” are my personal contacts. Many brokers use CRM [customer relationship management] tools, but I use pen and paper. Old school, yes, but it works for me. Every day, I look through my contacts and choose two or three people to call. I don’t call them to talk business. These are people I consider friends, and I want to keep a personal connection going. This is my way of staying relevant in their lives. I know that just staying in contact with clients has high ROI.

After utilizing personal contacts comes social media. Years ago, when social media was first introduced, I was skeptical about using it. I reluctantly began using it until I was in London at a meeting and a lady introduced herself and told me that she knew me through social media. That’s when I realized its power. To this day, I use it in an authentic way. I personally do all my own posts - despite my wife scolding me about my grammar. I believe this authenticity conveys what I do, who I am, and that I’m approachable. I don’t post to find clients. I do it for relevance and to stay top of mind.

I also use major affiliations to my advantage. I am Oregon’s exclusive agent for SportStar Relocation, a concierge-based real estate and relocation company that offers professional athletes, entertainers and executives a wide range of relocation services. LUXE Christie’s is Haute Residence’s exclusive Oregon partner, and I’m a member of Realm, an invitation-only collaborative of international brokers.

HR: What has been the #1 selling point of your area in the last 20 years?

TS: I have had the benefit of living all over the world. I moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon, because of family responsibilities but stayed because I became a father here and love and appreciate everything the area has to offer.

It would be hard to point to just one top selling point of Lake Oswego. It’s a community with great schools, excellent outdoor activities and natural beauty with Oswego Lake and the Willamette River. Access to all your daily business is five minutes away, plus you’re only ten or fifteen minutes from downtown Portland.

HR: How are prices in your area compared to this time last year?

TS: Prices in Clackamas County, where Lake Oswego and West Linn are located, are 10-15% higher than last year. The reason is simple supply and demand. There is an increase in buyers moving to Lake Oswego, and we are short on inventory.

Buyers are looking in the area because of the “vacation at home” properties we have here. Acreage, a pool, gyms, and home offices are in high demand. Those are normal parts of the inventory in Lake Oswego and West Linn. The tax structure in Clackamas County is also more conservative than in surrounding counties, making it an attractive area to live.

I predict if interest rates remain low, prices will rise another 5-10% in 2021.

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

TS: Historically, Christie’s International Real Estate has gathered global leaders - art consultants, bankers, investment advisors, and the like - to educate them on the state of luxury real estate. Unfortunately, those events were shut down in the past year.

I’ve turned my attention to more direct communication with other high-end brokers to discuss each other’ s haves and wants. I feel that cooperation is one of the most important aspects of networking. It’s important to make others feel valued as there is no “algorithm” for creating true relationships. I want brokers at all levels to feel respected, comfortable and welcome.

Terry Sprague

In addition to my direct contact networking, over the past year, I’ve been a panelist on many webinars and Zoom calls that feature market leaders - today’s version of in-person symposiums and conferences.

Terry Sprague is the owner and founder of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate as well as a co-founder of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. As an individual broker, he had $100 million in sales in 2020 and consistently ranks in the top 1% of all brokers in Oregon.

Modern Living Wrapped in Vintage Charm in Lake Oswego, Oregon

Perched above the lake in Lake Oswego, Oregon, with stunning lake views, this beautiful historic home is an exquisite combination of vintage style and modern sophistication. It is a home that has been meticulously cared for, keeping the best of its original architectural details, as well as thoughtfully reimagined, adding both interior and exterior features that create spaces for modern living.

Built in 1933 by renowned local architect Richard Sundeleaf, the home’s timeless architecture reflects a Tudor Revivalist - English Cottage style that has an abundance of character and charm. Ever-evolving and carefully curated over time, the Dr. Walter Black House, as it is named in historic registries, is a wonderfully modern family home wrapped in a vintage package.

Great care has been taken throughout the years to maintain the home and reimagine its design for a 21st-century family. It features a fully-redesigned, open kitchen with professional appliances and black, honed granite counters, a master suite with oversized, walk-in closet and spa-like bath, and a full, walk-out basement with an English-style Pub Room for entertaining and space for a home office, fitness center and storage. The three-quarter-acre lot has been professionally landscaped and has multiple gardens, sitting areas and a full-size bocce ball court. There is also a two-story guesthouse complete with a spacious bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, sitting and dining areas, and covered porch.

While entertaining options abound on the property, there is also the opportunity to enjoy Oswego Lake, a private lake reserved exclusively for Lake Oswego residents. A short walk leads to the residence’s easement access and private boat slip.

The most modern visual aspect of the property is, no doubt, the detached garage that sits just steps from the house. This cantilevered, glass-walled building is as stunning as it is functional. Steel beams allow the building to hover over the property’s hillside while the glass walls allow the home to be seen through the garage from the driveway, as views of the architecturally significant home are vitally important. From second-story windows, the garage looks like a piece of gleaming art, and the garage’s living roof blends into the natural landscape below.

The period-authentic lighting, hardware, fixtures, and material combined with the modern colors and amenities has created a truly timeless home. From the incredible entertaining opportunities on the property and the lake to the charming, comfortable spaces meant for relaxation and family time, this is a home that is meant to be enjoyed and loved for generations.

Transformed from a shipyard into a sophisticated neighborhood, the South Waterfront is now home to a dozen of Portland’s newest luxury condominium and apartment buildings. “The luxe high-rises in the South Waterfront offer a variety of residences from studios to penthouses,” explains Brad Golik, a broker with LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate who specializes in the area. “While there are many buildings and sizes of home to choose from, the common theme amongst them all is modern luxury.”

High-end finishes like hardwood floors, professional-grade appliances, stone and tile, shimmering glass facades, views of the river, mountains and city, and on-site services such as 24-hour concierges are just a few of the distinctive details and amenities that are found in many of the South Waterfront residences. “South Waterfront developments are comparable in size and style to those in the renowned Pearl District,” Golik says. “This has made the area incredibly popular with my clients who have refined tastes, want easy access to the city, and also want waterfront living - which the Pearl does not offer.”

Located just south of downtown, the South Waterfront is a walkable neighborhood that is a superb choice for those seeking an active, urban lifestyle. Spanning the length of the neighborhood, South Waterfront Greenway is a 4-acre linear park along the Willamette River, perfect for walking, running and biking. Tilikum Crossing, a bridge exclusively for pedestrians, bicycles and light rail, sits at the northern edge of the neighborhood and connects the South Waterfront to the city’s hip east side, and the Portland Streetcar runs through the neighborhood and loops around the city making it fast and easy to get to the Moda Center, the Pearl District, downtown, and everywhere in-between.

The South Waterfront District is also home to Portland’s landmark aerial tram. Linking Oregon Health & Science University’s (OHSU) waterfront campus to its hospitals on Marquam Hill, the tram is a unique mode of transportation for patients and employees of OHSU, Portland’s largest employer, as well as for area visitors seeking an unparalleled view of the city and Mt. Hood.

“Luxury towers such as The John Ross and Atwater Place are also ‘green’ buildings with LEED-certification,” continues Golik. “It’s an important distinction that many eco-conscious buyers are looking for. Energy efficiency, water conservation and even rooftop gardens are on the list of must-haves these days.”

As Portland’s newest neighborhood, the South Waterfront District was designed as an urban enclave that offers the best in residential and commercial opportunities. Towering high-rises with restaurants and shops at street-level and luxury accommodations above create a landscape where residents enjoy a rich, metropolitan lifestyle.

“We heard dire predictions from experts saying the real estate market was poised for a free fall,” says Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “What we experienced, however, was quite the opposite in the high-end luxury market. While there was a brief period of adjustment, our buyers and sellers realized that luxury properties could weather this storm.”

Across the country, it was necessary for brokers to adapt to the new selling environment. Using the phenomenal technology available, LUXE Christie’s brokers created new ways for buyers to safely view homes using live virtual tours and videos. Connecting with clients in-person during tours and office meetings was replaced with Zoom meetings, and social media replaced in-person networking. These exciting new marketing tools worked well to reach buyers, and the reinvention of how business was conducted was a success.

By May, LUXE Christie’s sales of $1 million-plus properties in Oregon were back. “Many buyers were now looking for large homes with properties where their families could easily and safely quarantine,” explains Ratcliff. Homes with space for families to spread out, work remotely and home school were hot, as were properties where recreation opportunities, like pools, sport courts, acreage, or water access, were literally in the backyard.

“The Pacific Northwest was far from immune from the nation’s economic slowdown,” Ratcliff says, “but the technology, digital media and e-commerce companies based in the region remained stable, and even flourished, with the increase in consumer online spending and use of technology to work from home.” This was a boon for the region and gave many of LUXE Christie’s clients the means to take advantage of the luxury homes that were on the market. “We also benefitted from an influx of out-of-state, high-net-worth buyers coming to Oregon from states where taxes and business opportunities are prohibitive,” says Ratcliff.

With $214 million in closed transactions at the end of 2020, LUXE Christie’s set a new brokerage sales record, proving that market predictions were far from accurate. “The sheer volume of transactions by LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate brokers coupled with record sales prices and the low number of days on the market - some as low as 24 hours! - is a positive indicator for the region’s economy as a whole,” explains Ratcliff.

“Central Oregon is booming, and the Portland metro area is a solid market that will endure long-term. Looking toward 2021, all indicators point toward Oregon’s high-end real estate market remaining strong,” concludes Ratcliff.

The post LUXE Christie’s International 2020 Oregon Sales Review appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

"We saw an influx of out-of-state buyers coming to Oregon in 2020 despite expectations of a slowdown in the high-end luxury market, and we expect the same through at least the second quarter of 2021. Large homes are in demand, which reflects a new normal as buyers are maximizing space to enjoy life while working remotely." - Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate, Oregon.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

"Seattle’s luxury market has been strong and resilient, and we see no signs of it slowing down in 2021. We’ve benefited from the exodus of residents from other states where high taxes have become burdensome. Plus, the strength of the high-tech industry is helping to fuel growth throughout the region. Overall, the Pacific Northwest remains a strong market." - Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle.

From the moment you arrive at the soaring timbered entrance and pass through the private gates, it’s clear that Tanager stands out among Central Oregon’s most desirable boutique, waterfront residential communities.

Tanager’s 182 acres is a beautiful collection of distinctive, natural landscapes. Many features of Central Oregon’s high desert - forests, meadows, canyons, cliffs and rivers - converge here, creating a property that is unlike any other.

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

Each Tanager’s 21 homesites is between 1.32-10 acres in size and boasts frontage along one of the development’s three water features - a regulation-size waterski lake, a recreational lake and gorgeous Tumalo Creek. “This unique community is all about taking advantage of the outdoors - and especially the water,” says Tab Howard, LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate’s Luxury Estate Specialist in Bend, Oregon. “Tanager’s developers have designed an extraordinary, private sanctuary for those looking for the luxury living in a secluded setting.”

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

With two private lakes and frontage to one of the area’s most beautiful rivers, Tumalo Creek, Tanager offers incredible opportunities for those looking for an exclusive waterfront lifestyle. The premier waterski and wakeboard lake is 2,100 feet long and features a turnaround island, boat harbor with a dock and mooring slips, a beach with sand imported from the Oregon coast, and a picnic area with a shelter, restroom and shower. The recreational lake, which is exclusively for non-motorized activities, is 8-acres in size and perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. It is stocked with fish and has a dock from which to fish or launch small watercraft.

In addition to the community's two signature lakes, Tanager sits along nearly three-quarters of a mile of Tumalo Creek. A tributary to the Deschutes River, the creek is a natural beauty with waterfalls, rapids and picturesque rimrock cliffs.

“Tanager residents will truly enjoy Central Oregon’s changing landscape year-round,” Howard remarks. “Though nature plays a huge part of the appeal of this exclusive waterfront development, it’s also just minutes from Bend and all of its outstanding shopping, schools, and amenities.”

In October, Bend was named as the second fastest-growing city by personal finance website WalletHub based on population, job growth and growth in the number of business in the area. Not surprising to residents and visitors, Bend is also consistently hailed as one of the most livable cities in the country.

“Tanager is a unique haven for those who not only seek privacy and seclusion but want to enjoy the region’s best year-round outdoor recreation while staying close to one of Oregon’s top cities,” says Howard. “The number of homesites are limited so It’s an incredible opportunity that won’t last long.”

Nelle Nuvole, Italian for “In the Clouds,” is a this truly magical home nestled high in the Chehalem Mountains overlooking Oregon’s famed wine country. This spectacular residence has been thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to create a home that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Located in a small gated community of seven homes, Nelle Nuvole is a 16 1/2-acre estate with a stunning 6,132 sq. ft home that masterfully blends modern design, rustic aesthetics and farmhouse practicality. While the home is certainly the centerpiece of the estate, it is far from being the only feature of the property. An acre of nine varieties of organically-grown lavender makes this a producing farm and the entire estate boasts Jory and Laurelwood soil, ideal for growing Chardonnay and Oregon’s famed Pinot Noir grapes.

This six-bedroom home has a stunning 2,500 sq. ft deck that captures 270-degree views of southerly vistas that captivate from sunrise to sunset. With the doors of the great room wide open, which is a luxury to be enjoyed at this perfect 800-ft elevation, the deck and indoor spaces become one harmonious living space.

While you may want to stay lounging on the deck all day, back inside, the splendors of the great room await. The open-concept living room, dining room and kitchen is a space where hand-planed, French-cut eastern white oak floorboards span from end to end and six gold-leafed chandeliers hang from the 19-ft high, beamed vaulted ceiling that has been painted sky blue to reflect the outdoors. At one end of the great room sits a grand fireplace that serves as a splendid focal point and on the other is the beautiful, handcrafted kitchen.

Painstaking measures were taken to create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Distances and details were checked and double-checked to ensure the workflow would be just right and the space would be comfortable for multiple cooks to use at one time. The cabinets were custom made from French-cut eastern white oak and seamlessly blend storage with the cabinet-fronted, commercial-grade appliances. Eight-plus guests will enjoy sitting at the 15-ft island that houses the cooktop and serves as the entertaining hub of the room.

The master suite is a breathtaking space - one that rivals the great room in allure and functional sophistication. 91/2-foot tall, solid wood entry doors open to the suite where white oak floors flow through the bathroom and the walk-in closet and into the expansive bedroom where glass French doors lead to the deck and 10 large windows flood the room with light. The amazing views become the room’s artwork - continually changing with the seasons and the weather. At night, you’ll be hypnotized by the twinkling lights below and the stars above, and in the morning, you’ll enjoy the brilliant colors of the sunrise while staying cozy in your warm bed.

Nelle Nuvole is a place where you’ll live life to its fullest - enjoying time with family and friends, working and playing on the land and appreciating the natural beauty of the Willamette Valley.

A Classic Hamptons Home in Lake Oswego, Oregon Located in one of Lake Oswego's most desirable neighborhoods, this Dutch Colonial residence, built in 2016, was designed by nationally-recognized interior designer Keri Davis as her personal residence. This incredible 7,054 sq. foot, six-bedroom home is a modern take on traditional design with large, light-filled rooms that showcase fantastic views of the Oswego Lake golf course, indoor/outdoor living and a floorplan that perfectly balances the needs of active, busy spaces with quiet, serene areas.

The home sits on nearly half an acre on the first fairway of Oswego Lake Country Club's Chandler Egan-designed golf course. The property includes a sought-after membership and private boat slip at the Forest Hills easement on Oswego Lake, a private lake known for its excellent boating, swimming and water sports activities.

This is the kind of home that works well for entertaining and togetherness while also allowing for plenty of quiet spaces for focus and relaxation. Every element of the design - every fixture and every finish - was carefully considered. This home is a one-of-a-kind find on one of the most sought-after streets in Lake Oswego.

Oregon is the third largest viniferous grape-producing state in the United States, with more than 700 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards growing 72 grape varietals. From the Columbia River Gorge to the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon, the state offers a superior opportunity to fulfill your oenophile dreams. The state boasts exceptional terroir for growing diverse number of cool-climate varietals, and there are 18 district AVAs in the state to consider when looking to purchase vineyard property.

“Oregon’s wine-growing regions are now more than 50 years old and have drawn international acclaim for the vast varieties and quality of wine produced,” explains Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “Having said that, the vibrant Oregon winemaking community has retained its handcrafted, artisan approach to agriculture and viticulture. Even though Oregon is the third largest wine grape-producing state, most wineries, in fact, have remained small and produce fewer than 5,000 cases a year.”

Vineyard estates, however, are not the only luxury acreage properties you’ll find in Oregon.

The beautiful Willamette River flows through some of Oregon’s loveliest cities and feeds the fertile Willamette Valley, the heart of Oregon’s wine country which is home to nearly 600 wineries. Along the shores of the river in the cities of West Linn, Wilsonville and Newberg, luxury estates abound, and residents take advantage of the outstanding amenities and cultural opportunities each community has to offer.

West Linn

West Linn is an affluent city of 25,000, centrally-located just minutes south of Portland. Located along the Willamette River, West Linn has been called the “city of hills, trees and rivers” and offers varied residential property options from upscale residences in the hills overlooking the river to luxury waterfront estates to vineyard acreage. “You’ll find an abundance of small-town charm in West Linn,” says Kendra Ratcliff, vice president and principal broker of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. With excellent schools, a quaint downtown, tree-lined streets, abundant parks, and recreational activities, West Linn is hailed as a superb, family-friendly community.

Wilsonville

Situated just south of Portland along the Willamette River is the city of Wilsonville. This community of 24,000 residents is perfectly located for those looking for a suburban or semi-rural lifestyle while having convenient access to downtown Portland and Portland International Airport. With excellent access to the river, residents enjoy boating, swimming and other water sports. “While the river is a big draw in Wilsonville,” Ratcliff says, “you are also able to find acreage properties with equestrian facilities, vineyards and luxury estates. It’s a diverse city that combines a great school system, parks, restaurants, and a thriving business community.”

Newberg

In the heart of Oregon’s wine country is Newberg, home to a vast array of award-winning vineyards and wineries as well as a historic downtown filled with restaurants, charming boutiques, art galleries, and a world-class cultural arts center. For water enthusiasts, through Newberg, the Willamette River is calm and quiet with little coves and beaches to stop and enjoy a swim or a picnic. “A wonderful thing about Newberg real estate is that you’ll find both extraordinary properties in the rolling hills among acres upon acres of vineyards and distinctive estates along the shore of the Willamette River,” explains Ratcliff. “Newberg is a quintessential wine country town. It has the feel of Napa or Sonoma but without the price tag!”

According to Terry Sprague, owner and founder of LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate for Oregon and Washington, the bedroom communities of West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Portland’s Dunthorpe neighborhood are areas affluent buyers are flocking to in recent days. “These locales have true lifestyle properties,” says Sprague. “Buyers are seeking estates where they can now live, play and work. People are embracing properties that you might say have their own sense of community.”

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate

“People really are ‘living’ at home more these days,” explains Sprague. “Pre-COVID, our buyers were working in downtown offices, playing at country clubs and dining out. Post-COVID, they are reintroducing these activities at home and looking for properties that can accommodate them.” Property estates with room and flexibility are invaluable now as buyers want usable space inside for working, entertainment and homeschooling and outside space for activities like swimming, gardening, sports, and relaxation.

Spacious homes on large, private lots can be found throughout Dunthorpe, West Linn and Lake Oswego making these communities attractive to new “safe haven” buyers. In addition, the cities of West Linn and Lake Oswego have done an excellent job at addressing the needs of its residents and adapting to the post-COVID world. Local businesses have embraced a new style of commerce, the top-rated school districts have developed programs aimed at keeping students engaged and prospering during the upcoming school year, and the cities have been upgrading their technology to meet the increased demand by residents.

When COVID hit the United States this spring, the assumption was that the housing market would slump; however, Sprague has seen quite the opposite trend. “I’ve seen an uptick in out-of-state buyers looking for property in Oregon,” says Sprague. “Buyers have sped up their plans and are moving very quickly. I have been selling multi-million dollar homes at a record pace.”

Natural materials fill the four-bedroom, six-bath home. A stunning combination of rich woodwork, nature-inspired stain glass, authentic stacked stone, and hand-hammered copper details give the spacious residence the feeling of being in a lavish Aspen, Jackson Hole or Sun Valley mountain retreat - but with the added advantage of the Pacific Northwest’s beautifully mild weather and its close proximity to Lake Oswego’s charming downtown and Portland’s excellent array of shopping, restaurants and arts and cultural opportunities.

The luxury multi-family housing market is booming in Portland, Oregon. The region’s stable economy driven by its diverse business climate plus current low-interest rates have given investors reason to take notice of the stylish, modern developments that are popping up around the area.

Known for its outstanding arts and cultural offerings, beautiful parks, efficient mass transit, and bike- and pedestrian-friendly streets, Portland has become a hub for those interested in experiencing the quintessential Pacific Northwest lifestyle. Industry giants like Nike, Adidas, Oregon Health & Science University, and Intel as well as the thriving entrepreneurial community are attracting new residents to the region in droves.

“We’re seeing people move to Portland just to see what it’s all about,” says Vince Cortese, Principal Broker and VP of Commercial & Land Acquisition at LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “Many of the units in the new multi-family developments are trending smaller than traditional apartments. Micro-apartments, in the 200-300 sq. ft. range, and one- and two-bedroom units with 500-800 sq. ft. may have less square footage, but they are big in design, style, and functionality.”

Photo Credit: LUXE Christie’s International

Floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors and kitchens with granite and high-end stainless steel appliances are standard in many of these luxury, eco-friendly buildings. Amenities often include stylish media rooms and lobbies for social gatherings, gyms, rooftop decks, and bike storage. As many residents are looking for an authentic urban living environment, location is key. Luxury apartments in Portland are located near mass transit and bike paths - and are often within walking distance of major business, restaurant, entertainment, and shopping districts.

“Not only is Portland a hot area right now for people looking to relocate, but it’s also hot for investors too,” explains Cortese. “Interest rates are so low that it makes sense for investors to look at Portland’s multi-family developments when seeking new assets for their portfolios. The need for more apartments in Portland, especially the high-end units that renters desire, has given developers and investors a real opportunity in the city.”

“Properties like the Milano, which is a stylish collection of 60 units near the Portland Convention Center, or the Montessa, with 49 units in Portland’s trendy Slabtown neighborhood, have upped the game for developers. These premier properties are exactly the type of apartment residences Portlanders are looking for - making them ideal for investors.”

The west side of the river, with Downtown Portland, the Pearl District and the beautiful West Hills neighborhoods, was the place for purchasing high-end real estate. But times have changed in Portland, and the Eastside is now a hot spot for commercial developers and design-savvy residential buyers.

With the implementation of Portland’s Opportunity Zone designation, the inner east side of Portland has seen an influx of new commercial development. This new development is required to include flex office space, the kind of real estate that many technology and design start-up firms love. The employees these start-ups attract are often the type of people who have the desire to live close to where they work, which has encouraged the residential market to step up its offerings to include the type of upscale homes these employees desire.

This combination of the commercial real estate boom and new residents flocking to the Eastside is actually perfect for this area, as it has always had wonderfully walkable neighborhoods, stylish retail enclaves and a collection of grand and eclectic homes.

“We’re seeing an influx of people moving to the inner Eastside from out-of-state, especially California,” says Elliott Moore, a broker with LUXE Christie’s International Real Estate. “People don’t want to live in the suburbs anymore. They want to live close to work and be in walkable parts of the city where they can easily shop and go to restaurants and theaters.”

That’s exactly what Portland’s inner Eastside offers. “There’s a lot of wealth and power on the east side,” explains Moore, who is a fifth generation Portlander and expert in the Eastside’s real estate market, “but it’s more demure than in downtown or the Pearl District.” Award-winning restaurants, a collection of craft breweries and distilleries, dog-friendly establishments, great public transportation, and active bike culture are just a few of the reasons people are looking to the east side of the river as a great place to live. “People want to live this life, and Portland’s Eastside has it,” Moore explains.

The picturesque, tree-lined streets of the Eastside’s many pocket neighborhoods have a variety of historic estates mixed with luxury condos, Mid-Century gems, and modern homes. And though many buyers don’t realize it, neighborhoods like Mt. Tabor and Alameda Ridge offer incredible views of downtown Portland, the Willamette River, and the Cascade Mountains.

Buyers looking for a high-end home in Portland have so many options when it comes to home style and location. “I know the Eastside like the back of my hand,” says Moore, “and LUXE Christie’s has a curated knowledge about luxury properties. We love helping buyers explore the area to find just the right home in just the right neighborhood.”
