They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes from the webinar:

Heidi Bintz: "Tourists have been coming in all winter, and it's been getting busier. Because of Spring Break and Spring skiing, we're anticipating a busy March. Our restaurants do have limited indoor dining, but that has been slowly increasing. Bars and restaurants have put tables outside and further space, and you can now drink or roam Vail Village and Beaver Creek... The market is tight. Some properties are going under contract instantly. However, inventory does depend on varying locations and price points, and I anticipate it to continue this way. We are limited in where we can build because we're surrounded by a national forest... We get a lot of what we call the Front Range, which is Denver, north and south, and it's about a two-hour drive, give or take, for those people. So I've seen more people wanting to either relocate or spend more time up here. We have a big market from Texas, and from southern Florida. There's Chicago, New York, Europe, and south of the border; we have a pretty large Mexico City clientele. They're here now, and they and they love Vail and the mountains."

Darin Marques: "The biggest thing I probably help my clients with is especially land purchases. They're buying a new development and looking to buy land to build. Most of them don't understand the process of what it takes to go through hiring the architect and general contractor and going through the permitting process and design review. With my relationships and background that I have in new construction, I've been able to help a lot of the clients navigate through that much quicker. It also helps me understanding luxury properties better. You can go with a basic window package and a home that could be $50,000, or a really high-end custom window package and a house that can be $300,000. As an agent representing luxury properties, having that understanding is really important. I just sold a property that was for the highest in the community in Southern Highlands at $725 per square foot. And we were about $200 a square foot higher than the next property. I was able to convey to the client, because they asked, why [the price was] so much higher. When I broke down the cost of land, permitting architectural engineering, and then the cost of construction, he was fine with it. He understood, he just wanted to see the details.

Mark Salmon: "Covid certainly has driven the market. Obviously, everybody's heard about how strict California has been with regard to Covid and travel. People are vacating the city, especially in the tech industry where they're able to work from home, and we're so close to all that in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. There's obviously a lot of money that comes with that as well, so for those guys, it's really been a second home destination for years and years, but now it's more primaries that I'm seeing. Young techies escaping the city, escaping Covid and all these restrictions to come to Tahoe. They have Bay area wages and pretty inexpensive real estate compared to what they're used to [there]. It's the same problem is I'm hearing in Florida, just that lack of inventory. It's almost scary frankly to a list of property right now because you know what your next three days are going to look like. It's 50 showings and 20 plus offers, and it's very time-consuming at that point... Buying in Tahoe is something you can have for generations and I think will never lose really long-term values. "

Joel Schemmel: "Our market has been kind of insane. Inventory is the biggest challenge because we have such huge buyer demand and very limited inventory. I think we've gone through a cycle that used to be some price points. Now it's pretty much across the board, as far as inventory shortages. I get five calls a day from realtors looking for anything that might be coming up in the near future. Anything under a million dollars, if it lasts more than 48 hours in the MLS, then there's something wrong with it. We've been very fortunate. Last year, we had a record year with over 100 hundred million that we closed, and we are already $51 million for this year... We have the fundamental population growth. We had the traditional Midwest, buyer pool, and that is now significantly expanded to the Northeast, and California is our new kind of crazy source of buyers. And even Texas, it's been interesting. We've never had Texas or California. They both appeared in the last year as heavy-duty buyers. Covid has really just kind of fueled the market to a certain extent...  We will definitely break some records, this year, as far as price points

"Pebble Beach and Carmel will continue to perform strongly in 2021 building on the market velocity and rising prices of 2020. We don’t see anything slowing down. People are craving the ability to get outside and recreate all-year-round and love the comfort of a smaller community setting with modern amenities. That combined with our close proximity to the economy of the Bay Area will keep the Monterey Peninsula as a top choice for primary and secondary residences." - Mark Peterson, Pebble Beach/Carmel, CA.

“'Blessed' is how I feel and look at Real Estate in Redwood City and the surrounding Peninsula.  2021 will continue to be impressive with low-interest rates and eager buyers.  Single-family homes still see multiple offers and the slow down in the condo and townhome market is still moving at a reasonable pace.  Safety with clients is still a priority as we adjusted and maintained a stellar market which will continue into 2021 with prices still going up.  Wishing you all a Happy Holiday and a Healthy, Joyful and Prosperous 2021!" - Kelly Ringer-Radetich, Redwood City, CA.

“With the widespread adoption of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see a mass exodus from San Francisco/Silicon Valley – one of the wealthiest regions in the world – of buyers coming to the azure blue waters of Lake Tahoe to purchase homes.  While tech giants continue to dangle the ultimate perk of being able to work from home indefinitely, the migration will continue to maintain our exceptionally robust market through 2021.” - Mark Salmon, South Tahoe, CA.

The post Northern California Real Estate Expectations For 2021 appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

I  hope this message finds you well and you are enjoying the tail end of summer. As we rapidly move into fall, I want to start with my sincere gratitude to all the firefighters and first responders on the front lines of these fires throughout California. 2020 has been a year that will never be forgotten in our minds and hearts. It's been filled with challenges which have made us rethink our lives, who's most important, and how we can create a life more balanced. All of these fears and challenges have been brought to the surface to witness our humanness, the stratification within our society, and for many, the imbalance in our lives.

The Tahoe real estate market has been a direct reflection of these ideas this year. The market has broken historic sale records. The entry-level market has been wiped out with low-interest rates, competitively low inventory, and first and second home buyers seeking to have a place to come, now that many of their jobs have a "work from home" mandate due to COVID. The entry-level Luxury market has been highly competitive with multiple offers on many of the new listings and a 23% increase in square foot price in just three months. The Upper luxury market has been fluid and strong.

Homes that have been sitting on the market for over 180 days have now been purchased at near asking price and inventory of these homes are at a historic low. Luxury neighborhoods like Martis Camp have moved their entry-level inventory from $4M in 2019 to $5.5M currently. Lakefront sales are no different, there have been several sales above $20 million with the highest being $38 Million sold over on the east shore. For a more detailed explanation of the micro markets around Lake Tahoe, California or Nevada, feel free to call me directly on my cell phone or contact us at our website.

For our Buyers - It's worth spending the time and figuring out where and what you're looking for, and be perched and ready to offer quickly as inventory is not sitting long and there is a ton of pent up demand.

For our Sellers - In my 17 years of selling real estate in Lake Tahoe, I have never seen a better time to sell your estate or property. Seller's should expect very thorough inspections, short contingency periods and a quicker than normal close.

It's my hope moving into the fall, that we can forge ahead and ride the remaining portion of this year with style, grace, and collaboration. We have included several links below to donate to fire victims and firefighters. Thank you all for rising to the challenge

of this year. "We welcome the opportunity to help you or someone you love". Thanks for reading and enjoy.

Kind Regards,

David Gemme
