In 2018, Anthony Davis purchased his Westlake Village home at just under $7.5 million, which he recently sold at loss. While Davis splurged $8 million on renovations to the Mediterranean style residence, the home ultimately sold for $6.6 million in January. However, with his most recent real estate purchase of a Bel Air estate appears to be a score. According to a trust associated with Davis, the off-market deal of his new property closed last month at a price of $32 million. Although a quiet transaction for a superstar player, the lavish state of his newfound home speaks for itself.

Previous owner, Ted Foxman purchased the Bel Air property in 2016 at a price of $16 million. Throughout his stay, he spent two years renovating it. Several significant transformations were made to the home as showcased in Elle Decor. The 16,700 square foot villa style estate spans 3.5 acres with eight bedrooms and eight full bathrooms. Beyond the gates of the Bel Air Crest community, the home opens to a great hall with an extravagant 35-foot glass dome ceiling. Further inside the property presents an entertainment style living room, formal dining room equipped for 20, and ultramodern eat-in kitchen with a butler’s pantry. The eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and three powder rooms highlight picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. The estate is equipped with a plethora of entertainment options such as a home theater, game room, wet bar, Olympic sized pool, full sized basketball court, tennis court, and nearby golf course and canyons. Decorative highlights of the home include custom stone, marble, and walnut wood floors.

Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last 6 months?

Being in this business for over 30 years we have seen several disruptors in the market. Even if we encountered challenges to the way we do business, we have used our resources and creativity to pivot where necessary. The takeaway for the future is that we know business can and will be done no matter the obstacles. We know we can thrive in a challenging business environment and that the way we have done business in the past may change, but the results can and will be better with those changes. Real estate is at all times a business of communication. We found that everyone is super focused on their homes or on the one they want to purchase. Clearly, the clients are looking for more peaceful locations. The gated communities and beach properties are high in demand. Of course, the open floor plan is still favorable however; separate office spaces and guest quarters are very sought after with the majority of the people working from home.

Is there an area from which buyers relocating to your market.

We are seeing clients wanting to relocate from many areas in California and throughout the US. Any area where people feel confined due to high density, they are compelled, especially now, to seek out areas which offer more space, both indoors and out. The luxury market offers larger estates on estate-sized lots, which have a great appeal to our clients now.

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

We are on par with last year and will probably surpass that number by the end of the year going into 2021. The advisors are in a more communicative market place with their clients that create a stigma that is more viable to the surrounding clientele. It’s a dream for a broker. No motivation needed. We find consistent communication with our clients is essential now to stay on top of any new developments.
