Highlight quotes:

Mark Peterson: "We are about an hour and a half to two hours south of the Bay Area of San Francisco we have always been a resort or 2nd home community; 40% of our transactions involve 2nd homes. We have buyers from New York, Florida and different areas of California. We have an inventory squeeze right now. While there are certainly homes on the market for sale, buyers can't quite find exactly what they want for that price, so we really look to work with our buyers to figure out what are their priorities. It is a great market to buy right now from a macroeconomic perspective... Our area is dependent on hospitality, an industry that is hurting right now but is talking about Spring and reopening. It's actually going to be probably a good thing that people see, 'Well, this is a community that's really concerned and really good about safety'... The infrastructure, the education, the great weather year-round, the natural beauty, and the amount of space will make the Bay Area and surrounding communities always be in demand."

Alvaro Nuñez: "The market in Miami has been spectacular; we've been one of the lucky destinations. It's becoming the most desirable place, if not one of the top places, to be, and we've seen a huge demand of people coming down not just to rent but to buy, so the demand obviously has been increasing. What at the beginning of the pandemic seemed to be a huge demand for single-family homes, now we're starting to see transitioning to higher demand for condos, and this is a good thing because when it comes to the inventory, we were seeing a little bit of difficulty... Everybody wants to have a great lifestyle. Celebrities want to be in the scene. Those that don't want to be in the scene, still want to be in a place where they can enjoy the lifestyle. Miami is open, right here right now is where [and when] everything is moving."

Leslie S. Modell: "People are getting vaccinated and it's bringing the buyers back to the City. Me personally, I've had an extremely active first quarter in New York. I'm seeing buyers from all markets, from $3 million and under with first-time homeowners trying to get into this really opportunistic buying that we're in right now in New York, and then the higher levels over $4 million are doing very well as well... People tend to like to buy when everyone else is buying; it gives a feeling of comfort, but that's not when to buy. [That time] is now, when the prices are low and they are definitely moving up... New York is getting back into its groove. We're going to get the vaccine; the restaurants will be opening; we're hitting the Spring market; interest rates are very low and will probably stay low for some time. I've been very successful getting buyers off the sidelines and getting very good pricing for my sellers."

The plan, devised with mortgage broker Regal Group International, simplifies the buying process. Germán Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments, and his team offered pre-construction deposit financing, a pioneer program that allows buyers to finance properties from day one. 

“We’re redefining the Miami skyline with the new Aston Martin Residences, and now we’re redefining the way our valued customers can finance their new luxury homes,” says Coto. “At G&G we have a reputation for pursuing innovative projects with a clear vision to achieve exceptional results and increase customer satisfaction, and this is why we created an innovative financing option.” 

“Buyers have the opportunity to purchase their home with a special long-term payment plan that will provide comfort and a smooth process for prospective clients,” adds Juan Ayala, President of Regal Group International. “After the initial payment, the buyer will make equal monthly installments for the Term of the Loan. These installments are fixed from day one of signing the contract and for the full term of the loan. There is no prepayment penalty for the duration of the loan, and the client can cancel or change their lender without being penalized. Additional financing costs and commitment fees are not included and remain the buyer’s responsibility. This new financing plan is one of the first of its kind for a pre-construction luxury development.”

Regal Group International and its expert advisors invests time in developing the relationship between the prospective buyer and private investor, easing the process of financing units at Aston Martin Residences, the first and only real estate project by the British carmaker in the world.
