The post Highly-Amenitized, Resort-Style Estate Presented By Brian Guiltinan appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

They were hosted by Haute Living's April Donelson. The event's live watchers submitted their own questions that added to the dynamic conversation. Scroll down to watch the video.

Adam Modlin, Richard Steinberg

Coming this Thursday, April 23rd at 2PM EST, join Haute Residence as we host Dan Conn, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate in a live conversation about the world’s leading real estate markets and Christie’s leading role during quarantine times. REGISTER HERE.

Also this Thursday at 7PM EST, we host a "coast to coast" webinar with top brokers Brian Guiltinan (San Diego, CA), Moira E. Holley (Seattle, WA), Frank D. Isoldi (Westfield, NJ), and Devin Kay (South Florida), who will weigh in on the latest in their markets. REGISTER HERE.

See video above

About today's panelists:

• Modlin is Founder of Modlin Group, which has closed transactions in excess of $2 billion, including a record-setting $77 million New York single-family townhouse.
• Steinberg is one of New York’s most successful and prominent brokers, grossing over $150 million in sales yearly, and star of “The American Dream New York City” on WLNY-CBS.

Highlight quotes:

Modlin: "This quarantine has caused all of us to look inward and redefine what home means to us. This is a very unusual time... I expect people to come out of this with a strong desire to buy real estate. I think we'll see a resurgence of interest in single-family environments with outdoor space, townhouses, boutique condominiums with fewer units, and fully amenitized buildings... Now is the time to do your homework. Learn and develop an encyclopedic knowledge of comps. You need to know your numbers."

Steinberg: "There will be pent-up demand for purchasing real estate. I think our biggest challenge when we get back into business is going to be buyers and sellers' perspectives... It's going to take really seasoned professionals to be able to close a deal and do what's best for your seller/buyer... (Before,) you had a launch event for a new development with hundreds of brokers. I believe those days are over... There are deals to be made as long as they are fair and reasonable. There will be a lot of business being made if both sides (buyers and sellers) adjust."

These properties have the goods when it comes to being ready and well stocked for pool season.

So, let's don bathing suits and raise an umbrella drink to the glory of the SoCal pool life.

The Water's Edge Above San Diego

This Mediterranean-inspired estate used to be home to a female world number one tennis pro. It's wood covered patio leads to waterfall grottos that flow into an infinity edge pool that looks out on views of Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito River Valley.

Infinity edge pools trick the eye into thinking that water has no boundaries. Standing inside the pool and looking west, a swimmer would have the illusion of the water blending seamlessly with the pale blue sky.

This pool would be the perfect 19th hole after a day spent swinging clubs on the Crosby Golf Club course.

Splash Around In Sheryl Crow's Former Pad

Sheryl Crow relisted her three-home spread this year. Consisting of a Spanish Revival style house, a craftsman's home, and a cozy cottage, this LA compound could rock any size party.

Take the winding pathways between properties, past the tepee, to a pleasant infinity pool with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and shady spots to kick back.

The pool was designed by Jonny Appleseed Landscaping who brings 25 years of garden and pool making experience to craft an outdoor oasis that considers the wind, weather, sun, and style as all part of the design.

A Blend of Water and Concrete Becomes a Work of Art

This modern Rancho Santa Fe estate melds the indoors and outdoors with wet and dry spaces in an architectural pattern that is both artful and soothing.

Blue tiles blur the water's edge that jigsaws through the palatial patio space, running at one point under a shady portico and in other spots reflecting the passing clouds in the open sky above.

While this massive pool begs the owner to invite many guests, a smaller plunge pool nearby offers a peaceful place for quiet introspection or more intimate gatherings.

Open Space and Clean White Lines Lead to This Pool

This tropical Encino home features fine architecture on a green lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

Swim laps in the big pool before recovering in the connected whirlpool spa. A great expanse of space bordered by tall trees, this gleaming place belongs to those hearty souls wanting to swim freely, breath deeply, and enjoy the feel of cool water on their backs and soft grass between their toes.

The post Dazzling San Diego Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

7560 Montien Rd., San Diego CA 92127

Since 1996, luxury Realtor Danielle Short has devoted herself to serving the San Diego North County Coastal luxury real estate market in destinations ranging from Rancho Santa Fe to La Jolla for high-end clientele including celebrities and entrepreneurs. The two names you can trust, Danielle Short and Coldwell Banker. Danielle has over 25 years of sales and marketing experience, consistently winning national awards for her exemplary performance. Short sat down with Haute Residence to discuss her 5 housing predictions for San Diego:

1. This next year will be a good time to get top dollar for your home if you intend to sell.

A panel of experts state the economy will dip nationwide in 2020. That could affect San Diego home prices negatively, although no one believes values will drop as they did in 2008. Rather, they could just remain flat.

Home prices are expected to rise in 2019 at just more than 4 percent and local real estate gurus suggest many will start looking to purchasing home late in the year. That would make fall or winter of 2019 a good time to put your house on the market if you are considering selling.

2. Rents will go up.

This has been a trend in San Diego for a couple of years. Rent in the San Diego area is already some of the highest in the nation. Renters pay more than 40 percent of their income toward housing in four of the largest U.S markets, which includes San Diego.

This could affect single-family home purchasing in a couple of ways. Escalating rent could force people to move elsewhere. That could mean less competition for home purchases. It could also swing the opposite direction if rent becomes so expensive that renters feel it is better in both short-term and long-term finances to buy.

Right now, people are holding off on home purchases to see if prices have peaked but that is a gamble as home values are expected to go up again in 2019. That is expected to change dramatically in the last quarter of 2019 as renters move to purchase.

3. Millennials will represent a huge chunk of home buyers.

Predictions are millennials with new, higher-paid jobs will seize the opportunity at home purchases as home prices flatline or decrease in late 2019 and throughout 2020.

This will make for a highly competitive market, particularly with starter homes. If you are planning on entering the home market, you may want to start getting yourself and your finances together now rather than wait or you may find yourself paying higher prices to stay competitive for the house you want.

4. There will be more environmentally “green” homes at affordable prices available.

California will have new building code regulations, scheduled to start in 2020, mandating all new homes function to generate renewable energy. Also, they are all to be “net zero ready” where they generate as much or more energy than they use.

Another updating building codes mandate every new single-family homes and low-rise multi-family homes have solar panels on the roof. This is a plus for home buyers because these changes don't escalate the purchase cost tremendously, but to save you money in energy costs. Some utility companies even have generation programs where you sell your unused energy for a profit.

All this means there will be more affordable homes with lots of green features popping up in the San Diego landscape in 2019. That puts these types of homes within reach of many younger singles, couples, and families. There are several developers now planning and constructing communities implementing these new green rules. A Weston development is under construction in Santee now where all homes are green. Currently, 5.5 million California homes are solar powered.

5. More $1 million neighborhoods will be built.

There are eight such neighborhoods in San Diego now, putting it as a hot market for these type of communities. According to Zillow, 346 million-dollar communities have been built since 2014. The web site states a neighborhood is defined as a million-dollar neighborhood when more than 10 percent of its houses have a value of $1 million or more.

Some areas where these pricey neighborhoods can be found are Escondido, downtown San Diego, Carlsbad, Scripps Ranch, and Jamul. The median price for homes in these neighborhoods is around $700,000.

The expensive home trend is expected to continue in San Diego, as well as around the country, according to Zillow. These communities also have numerous amenities and offer privacy that upscale home buyers require.

Overall, San Diego will have options in both rental and homes for purchasing in 2019 as outmigration happens and more master communities are built. Options will include more high-end homes and homes on every level that implement green energy concepts. Middle-class and affordable homes will be competitive as more millennials enter the housing market to buy their first home.
