Just as Christie’s represents many of the world’s most extraordinary art, Christie’s International Real Estate represents many of the world’s most extraordinary properties. “It is always a pleasure to introduce luxury homebuyers who may not be current art collectors to Christie’s as well as introduce both new and seasoned art collectors to the world of luxury real estate,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle.

“Christie’s affiliated global luxury brands offer significant cross-marketing opportunities that provide greater exposure to a broader luxury clientele versus what traditional real estate companies offer,” explains Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO for Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “Collaboration across the global Christie’s network opens up more opportunities to provide superior real estate advisory services to our clients.”

A condominium home at the Four Seasons Private Residence in Seattle, which sold for an impressive $9.5 million in October 2020, is a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. Wasner worked closely on the marketing and sale of this property with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s Auction House’s esteemed West Coast chairman, who oversees private art collections for high-profile clients.

The property was the home of the late Virginia Wright, a prominent philanthropist and significant art collector. “The joint marketing program between the auction house and our real estate brokerage created a buzz around the property and garnered attention from high-net-worth buyers worldwide,” says Wasner. “It was an unparalleled effort which led to a near record- breaking sale price. The Wright family was very pleased not only with the sale price of the home and how quickly it sold and closed but also with the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

“Whether a client is based in Hong Kong and searching for a vacation home in the San Juan Islands or a local client is interested in a second home in Aspen, Jackson Hole or Palm Springs, our global relationships give us extraordinary access to exclusive properties,” remarks Wasner. “You’ll receive not only our team’s passionate expertise, discretion and exceptional client service, but you’ll have 255 years of Christie’s unparalleled reputation on your side.”

The post A Sub-Penthouse In Seattle’s Madison Park By Moira E. Holley appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

This was especially true for the luxury real estate market. In January, the real estate market in Washington, and particularly in the Seattle metro area, was strong with high demand, high volume of sales and high prices. In March when COVID-19 hit and brokers were urged to restrict in-person home tours, the Washington real estate market remained strong as new Northwest MLS listings for the month outpaced February. By April, the market had slowed down with fewer year-over-year listings, but, surprisingly, prices were up nearly 6.4 percent.

“Many industry veterans predicted severe declines,” says Kendra Ratcliff, co-founder and COO of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “But what we experienced was quite the opposite in the high-end luxury market. The Seattle market took a brief break, but we bounced back much quicker than expected.”

It was imperative for brokers to adjust to the new selling environment. Christie’s Seattle brokers took the challenge in stride, using technology to create new ways for buyers to safely view homes using live virtual tours and videos, connecting with clients using Zoom meetings, and replacing in-person networking with social media. “Coupled with Christie’s already outstanding marketing programs, these new marketing tools worked well to reach buyers,” explains Ratcliff. “We quickly reinvented how we conducted business, and it was a success.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

By May, Christie’s Seattle sales of high-end properties in Washington were returning. “Many buyers began looking for property outside the downtown Seattle area - properties where their families could spread out,” Ratcliff says. “However, we also saw many clients interested in downtown high-rise living where services and amenities were at their fingertips.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Late summer and fall saw a resurgence of activity. Three residences within Seattle’s Four Seasons Private Residences, all of which Christie’s Seattle’s Executive Vice President and Co-Founder Scott Wasner represented and Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle served as the dual agency, captured the highest sales prices - a combined $24.7 million - achieved in Downtown Seattle in 2020. Remarkably, Wasner represented and sold one of these residences in July 2019 at the exact sales price as this most recent sale, $9.2 million. This stability in the market is excellent news for the region’s high-end market.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“The technology, digital media and e-commerce companies based in the region remained stable, and even flourished,” Ratcliff says. “This was a tremendous benefit for the area’s economy. We also benefitted from an influx of out-of-state, high-net-worth buyers coming to Washington looking to take advantage of the state’s favorable tax structure and business-friendly environment.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

At the beginning of December, a stunning 21 percent of the homes listed in the Northwest MLS were priced at $1 million or higher. “We’ve definitely beat the odds in 2020,” concludes Ratcliff. “While it is impossible to predict what 2021 will bring, our confidence is high that Washington’s high-end real estate market will continue to remain strong.”

"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.

"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.

As buyers across the country seek properties where they can weather the COVID-19 storm, those with long-term plans for city living have found such residences in Seattle’s luxury high-rise condominiums. Full-service buildings offer privacy, safety, seclusion, and incomparable amenities, giving residents the capability to escape the city, while still being in the city.

“Buyers are still committed to the downtown core,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle. “I’ve been a luxury broker in Seattle for a number of years, and I remain confident in the overall long-term well-being of the region. Seattle has a lot to offer with its diversified business sectors and tax advantages - plus the city is regaining its vibrancy with the re-opening of restaurants, galleries and other establishments.”

That confidence is evidenced in both the expedient pace of transactions and prices of recent sales. Residence #1202 unit of Four Seasons, located at 99 Union Street, Seattle, went pending after only two days on the market. This 4,293 sq. foot residence has a near-record price-per-square-foot of $2,143, surpassed only by a Four Seasons penthouse sold by Wasner in late 2019. Remarkably, in July 2019, Wasner represented and sold the #1202 residence at the exact same price as this most recent sale. “It’s incredible to see the price remain the same,” explains Wasner. “This stability is extremely good news for high-end condominiums.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Four Seasons #1502 residence, owned by the late Virginia Wright who was a philanthropist and significant art collector, closed for an impressive $9.5 million on October 16, 2020 after being on the market for only four months. This is just below Downtown Seattle’s record sale of $10.6 million, a penthouse also represented by Wasner which closed nearly a year ago.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

The Virginia Wright residence is also a wonderful example of how Christie’s many facets work together as a seamless team. “Working in tandem with Ellanor Roberts Notides, Christie’s auction house’s esteemed West Coast chairman, was an incredible advantage. Ms. Notides oversees private art collections for high-profile clients, and the joint marketing effort between the auction house and our real estate brokerage on behalf of the Wright family was unparalleled,” says Wasner. “The Wright family was very pleased with the sale price of the home, how quickly it sold and closed and the extraordinary collaboration we had with the auction house.”

Luxury units sized 4,000+ sq. foot, large by Seattle standards, are becoming scarce in the downtown core as well. Escala, built in 2010 and located at 1920 Fourth Avenue, has two of the last remaining newly constructed penthouses in the Seattle luxury condominium market. Listed at $7,695,000 and $7,650,000, the two 4,500+ sq. foot Escala penthouses represented by Wasner and Christie’s International Real Estate, Seattle are rare opportunities for buyers interested in new construction. “These types of luxury buildings are just not being built in Seattle anymore,” says Wasner. “If a buyer is seeking a recently completed residence of this scale, these Escala units are their last opportunity.”

“You could sit back and wait for the election to be over or the pandemic to have a cure or you can live life!” professes Wasner, who also lives in downtown Seattle. “The world keeps turning, and people keep seeing and seizing opportunities as they arise!”

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Seattle and Pacific Northwest region?

As buyer’s and seller’s road maps shift, we are seeing signs of new eyes on Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Demand has increased exponentially for homes on larger in-city lots, homes with privacy and acreage, homes with pools or the ability to install a pool, waterfront homes, island getaways (as primary residences), country estates and ranches.

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

With a surge in buyer activity coming out of California we are experiencing a significantly stronger market and seeing much higher demand than a year ago.

Photo Credit: Tim Van Asselt

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

Our fourth-quarter sales continue with robust activity with an influx of buyers who can work remotely. With no state income tax in Washington, Californians see an increased income of 13% or more. Additionally, we have always been a destination for those individuals about to experience a significant financial event.

What makes Bainbridge Island a desirable place to live?

It is a quaint community with a population of nearly 25,000 that has all the amenities and conveniences needed to be self-contained. There is no need to leave the island when you need a doctor, veterinarian, groceries, great schools, a golf and country club - all your everyday needs are met. Plus, Bainbridge has an incredible array of restaurants and boutiques. And did I mention there are seven wineries on the 27-square-mile island?

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

What types of luxury homes are found on Bainbridge Island?

An amazing variety of homes dot the charming island. You’ll find cottages, horse properties, and luxury waterfront estates. We’re also seeing an uptick in apartment and condominium communities.

Two distinctive properties we currently have available on Bainbridge Island are a 4,000 sq. ft. luxury log home on a wooded, waterfront acre and a historically-significant Naval compound that features a 12,000 sq. ft. home and 12 private acres. These properties couldn’t be more different, but they are wonderful examples of the variety of home styles on Bainbridge.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Who is buying property on Bainbridge Island?

Clients who desire space, privacy and seclusion are flocking to the island. It’s a very desirable bedroom community to Seattle. We have clients who work in Seattle and need easy access to the city, which the walk-on/drive-on ferry provides. Plus the Agate Pass Bridge gives residents the ability to drive off the island to many other towns throughout Puget Sound.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Is it beautiful on Bainbridge Island?

No doubt about it! Drive around the island and you’ll have views of downtown Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, the Sound, and even Mt. Rainier to the south. The island itself is dotted with parks and is home to Gazzam Lake Nature Preserve, a beautiful area with trails that lead through meadows and thick forests to a lake and a rocky beach.

How would you describe the lifestyle on Bainbridge Island?

It is sophisticated yet casual living. You’ll enjoy a quintessential Puget Sound island lifestyle.

Seattle is one of the country’s most sought-after locations for downtown luxury living, and you’ll find exceptional choices whether you are seeking a primary residence or a sophisticated pied-à-terre. Private condo communities, such as the Four Seasons Private Residences or Escala, offer residents unparalleled security, privacy, concierge services, and world-class amenities.

“Luxury condos and penthouses have been designed with the modern resident in mind,” says Scott Wasner, the co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. Professional-grade appliances, distinctive tile and woodwork, integrative technology, and open floor plans are just a few of the details which you’ll find in every unit. With each building’s outstanding security and concierge services, residents also enjoy a sense of worry-free living, ideal for those who want a “lock and leave” lifestyle, explains Wasner.

The city is literally at your doorstep when you choose to live in a luxury condo or penthouse in Seattle. Teeming with award-winning restaurants and world-class shopping, downtown Seattle is truly an international hub.

Seattle is a cosmopolitan city full of diverse residents who seek out the best of the Pacific Northwest. “Many of our clients interested in luxury high-rises are empty nesters, global travelers and high tech executives,” Wasner says. “The common element between them is they all enjoy the outstanding outdoor recreation, sweeping views and upscale living opportunities Seattle has to offer.”

Located northwest of downtown Seattle, Queen Anne is an affluent neighborhood where grand, old mansions neighbor Craftsman bungalows, and residents enjoy a bevy of amenities including many of the city’s best parks, museums and gardens, award-winning restaurants, and high-end boutique shopping.

“Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “It’s a wonderfully self-contained neighborhood.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“Not only do you have a superb selection of homes, but Queen Anne’s location is nothing but ideal,” continues Wasner. The Queen Anne district is nestled next to Lake Union, a freshwater lake in the heart of Seattle where kayakers, paddle boarders and others can enjoy time on the calm water while those who prefer the views can enjoy the walking trails, parks and many restaurants that dot the shore.

Just blocks from Lake Union are the Seattle headquarters for Google, Amazon and Facebook, while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Seattle Center, the city’s civic, arts and events center, are located in the Lower Queen Anne district. And if you’ve ever seen a photo of the Space Needle with the city in the background, it was likely taken from the top of Queen Anne Hill, Seattle’s highest point.

“Our clients love Queen Anne for so many reasons,” Wasner says. “It’s a cosmopolitan area that reminds many of the Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco. Multi-million dollar homes, views to die for and the best the city has to offer - that’s Queen Anne.”

Whether you work for one of the technology companies near Lake Union, love historic homes, or simply have the desire to live in a neighborhood where you can enjoy the best views of Seattle, Mt.

Embark on a journey to a North American architectural masterpiece. This custom-made log-home is nestled in lush waterfront greenery a mere 15 minutes from the Seattle Ferry. Take advantage of this unique, 4,087 sq. ft. Bainbridge Island real-estate opportunity, featuring a 184' rock-bulkhead with waterfront views quietly located on a spacious acre of property in Port Madison Bay complete with a community boat launch and private buoy.

Built in 1996 with the utmost discernment, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom log-cabin was constructed with hand-hewn Western Red Cedar and logged by helicopter from British Columbia backwoods. The entire residence was assembled in Whistler, delicately taken apart, transferred to the Pacific Northwest, and then carefully reassembled to its current state.

No expense was spared when designing specific furniture to fit the size, material, and overall concept of the home, and each piece was created with unique craftsmanship. The centralized, custom-built fireplace boasts foraged stones from Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia. The heated, flagstone stone floors were hand-cut and quarried in Ontario. Even the furniture and fixtures were designed to specifically fit that home, such as the pine-wood tables and dining room's large, iron chandelier.

15740 Euclid Avenue NE is truly a treasure built with care and set with distinctive North American materials, conceptualized and constructed with the skills of some of Pacific Northwest's best designers and craftsmen.

People who used to travel the world and stay in beautiful homes to get away from their busy lives are now thinking about second homes because, in unpredictable times like these, travel just isn’t an option. “Absolutely, the incidence of second home buying will go up,” says Dan Conn, CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate.

According to Harris Poll’s April 28, 2020 report, 43 percent of urban dwellers and 26 percent of suburbanites have recently browsed real estate websites for homes/apartments to rent or buy. The coronavirus pandemic has people thinking about how they want to live, according to Conn. With more opportunity to work remotely, properties in rural areas or acreage properties within a short drive from urban centers have become attractive options as they provide a sense of separation or distance.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“Inquiries about vineyards, acreage estates and off-the-grid properties have increased significantly over the last two months,” says Kendra Ratcliff, COO of Washington’s Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle. “Our clients are re-evaluating their lives and realizing that working from home is not only possible but preferable.”

This dramatic shift in interest is being seen on a global level. “Our brokers throughout the world, from Portugal to Antigua to Amsterdam and Monaco, are receiving more and more interest in properties that promote a more self-sustaining lifestyle,” continues Ratcliff. “Washington has an incredible array of locations where one can find luxury properties. The Pacific Northwest is truly appealing to our clients because of the area’s natural beauty and outstanding real estate options that range from secluded island properties in the Puget Sound to ranches in Eastern Washington, vineyards in the Walla Walla, Columbia and Yakima Valleys and mountain-top getaways near Mt. Rainier or the breathtaking Okanogan in Washington and British Columbia, Canada.”

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

Sacrificing luxury for location is no longer a concern as remote properties in the luxury category are far from the rustic cabin in the woods of yesteryear. “While you may be miles from the nearest grocery store, these rural estates have the same or better amenities as their urban counterparts,” Ratcliff explains. Helipads, pools, hiking trails, equestrian grounds, gardens, and vineyards are but a few of the exterior features you might find. While gourmet kitchens, “smart home” technology, athletic courts, wine cellars, gyms, and saunas are often found inside these highly sought-after homes.

High-end rural properties in the Pacific Northwest are not new, but this shift in the luxury real estate market has created a new demand for them that is sure to stay. “I think [second home buying] will be a secular shift in the market. That won’t change,” concluded Conn.

Photo Credit: Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle

“Those looking to distance themselves physically, whether it is a primary residence or vacation home, will never have to compromise location for luxury,” Ratcliff assures. “We have incredible properties in all corners of Washington that fit the needs of our high-wealth clients.”

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."

No address in Seattle says luxury and glamour more than 1920 Fourth Avenue. Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, Escala is a 31-story luxury condominium tower that redefines urban living - offering its residents awe-inspiring city, water and mountain views; exceptional amenities including a private club, full-service gym, theater, restaurants, and more; and truly unique floor plans with private elevator vestibules, incredible architectural details and exquisite finishes.

“Escala’s newest top-floor penthouse (#3102) is by far the most luxurious penthouse available in downtown Seattle,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle. “It offers glamour and glitz that has never been seen by Seattle before.”

Completed in March 2020, the 4,522 sq. ft., three-bedroom penthouse takes advantage of its superior location with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and three incredible terraces that provide breathtaking, panoramic views from the Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains. While the views may captivate you day and night, the residence’s design and finishes are its true stars. Truly, no expense was spared and no detail was overlooked in this home.

The level of stonework, woodwork and cabinetry found throughout are second to none. More than 40 stone slabs were used in the home, including nearly 20 quartz slabs alone that line the master bathroom’s walls, floor and counters. Custom cabinetry, some imported from Italy and others being beautiful, domestic white oak, and impeccable wide plank hardwood floors give natural warmth to the penthouse that boasts an open, flowing floor plan.

The kitchen is the ultimate in gourmet luxury. Open to the living and entertaining areas, the kitchen features Calcutta quartz countertops, island and walls, stunning European linear-railed cabinets and professional-grade Miele appliances.

An incredible level of home automation technology can also be found in the home. Window shades, lighting, music, and TV are supported on one Lutron system using touchpads and mobile apps, while a Google Hub system controls entry, locks, heating and cooling, and safety alarms.

One floor below this flawless residence sits the penthouse well-known as the inspiration for Christian Grey’s home in the best-selling book series, Fifty Shades of Grey. Wasner, who was the broker for the sale of this “famous” penthouse in 2013 and 2018, says, “While the Fifty Shades penthouse is stunning, the quality of construction of this new top-floor penthouse is unparalleled.”

“You will never see quality like this again,” says Wasner. “The extraordinary materials used along with its unrivaled downtown location make this penthouse the find of a lifetime.”
