Real Estate’s Past, Present & Future by

AllAn Domb

T

he real estate market has been a roller coaster ride the past ten years.The peak of the market was July 2005. From 2006 to 2011 we saw the deepest slump that we have seen since the Great Depression in 1929. Real estate in Philadelphia lost 20-35% of its value, which was actually conservative compared to cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix and South Florida which lost 40-50% of its value. In 2011-2012 the market began to stabilize, in 2013 it was relatively stable, and we were looking at a healthy market coming into 2014. And then the winter came. This past winter played havoc on the real estate market. Buyers, many of whom live in the suburbs, canceled appointments and totally lost interest in looking at real estate in the city as they were struggling to survive the record snowfalls and cold temperatures.

Not only did this past winter affect the real estate market but it hurt the entire regional economy. Nationally, it is estimated that the economy experienced a $50 billion loss due to the weather. Retailers reported fewer customers were out shopping and restaurants reported fewer people were eating out—they canceled reservations every time they heard there was a chance of snow. Keep in mind we had record cold temperatures and 17 snowfalls this winter.

In light of the weather, the home sale market weathered the storm relatively well, only because of a lack of sale inventory on the market. In fact, April of 2014 was one of the strongest sales months that we have had in a long time. Over the past six years the only residential new construction was rental buildings because lenders had financing readily available for predicted rates of return which rental housing has provided in the past. While banks are paying .25% on cash deposits, rental properties are paying 16 to 20 times these rates of return in the 4 to 5 cap range!

The glut of condominium inventory that was built or converted in the early 2000s is now pretty much absorbed. 1706 Rittenhouse, Parc Rittenhouse and The Warwick Condominiums are all sold out. 10 Rittenhouse has sold extremely well over the past two years with only a few left to sell and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is selling, being one of the few options for new construction condominiums.

So while the rental market is in the process of adding 5,000 new rental homes, the sale market inventory has been dwindling. It’s my opinion that rental prices have increased faster than sale prices.

I think we could see a shift in the next few years on sale values versus rental values. Renting costs more than the after tax cost of homeownership, mainly due to the demand of people seeking rentals as a safe harbor from the real estate downturn they witnessed from 2005 through 2011.

When I was growing up the “American Dream” was to buy, but due to the six year downturn many young people now believe the “American Dream” is to rent. This will change in time and those who own will benefit. Always remember that when you rent it’s a house but when you buy it’s a home!

Today we are finally approaching sale values we achieved nine years ago in 2005. While it is a relief that we have returned to the peak of the market, our long term growth for the city, and in turn the real estate market, will depend on our ability to develop new employment opportunities and keep existing companies in the city.

Tax abatements help bring people to the city, but without a job, no one is buying real estate. That is why increasing employment opportunities is most important for our city.

Chinatown Charm Located in Center City, Philadelphia Chinatown provides visitors with a mixture of authentic Asian food, culture, and history. ith over 50 different restaurants, Chinatown offers some of the best Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisine in Philadelphia. Penang, a modern and trendy Malaysian restaurant, offers large portions and fast service. Make sure to try their home made Roti Canai or Indian pancakes, one of the most popular items on the menu. For great wonton soup and classic Chinese roast pork, try Ting Wong. While the minimalist design makes this restaurant easy to miss, make sure you stop by.

Chef Joseph Poon’s Wok’N Walk Tour.

Located at 10th and Arch Street, The Chinatown Friendship Gate represents a cultural exchange between Philadelphia and its sister city, Tianjin. Built in 1983, the gate was the first Chinese gate built in America by Chinese artisans and engineers. The 40foot gate uses traditional Ming and Qing Dynasty patterns as well as bright colors and ornamentation.

If you want to try and recreate some traditional Asian recipes at home, stop by the 1st Oriental Supermarket. They import traditional Chinese sauces, meats, vegetables and fruits necessary for authentic Chinese cooking.

Spring Lake, New Jersey

E

stablished as an upscale resort town by members of New York and Philadelphia high society in the 1800s, Spring Lake, New Jersey still maintains its reputation as an exclusive vacation spot for residents of New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. From the quaint inns to the vivacious shopping district, Spring Lake provides a variety of activities and events for visitors to explore.

While the restaurant specializes in Italian cuisine, it also offers fresh seafood as well as appetizers on the outdoor veranda.

For a romantic getaway, stay at one of the many Historic Inns of Spring Lake. The collection of boutique hotels and B&Bs is the perfect destination for a wedding, honeymoon, or just a quiet getaway. These seaside escapes allow even the busiest residents of nearby Manhattan and Philadelphia to get away for a weekend of tranquility and relaxation.

Afterwards, stop by one of Spring Lake’s top rated restaurants for dinner. For an elegant dinner with an accommodating atmosphere, try the critically acclaimed Whispers. Reviewed by both Zagat and The New York Times, Whispers provides a wide selection of upscale American cuisine but lowers the cost with a BYOB option.

If you’re looking for more of a resort feel with oceanfront rooms and restaurants, check out The Breakers On the Ocean. As the only oceanfront hotel in Spring Lake, The Breakers offers unprecedented views and dining experiences. The hotel also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an elegant, picturesque setting.

Spring Lake also has a unique mixture of beach shops and specialty boutiques with something different for every type of shopper.Treat yourself and spend a day shopping on either Third or Warren Avenue. The collection of shops sells everything from accessories and apparel to antiques and furniture.

For fresh, handmade pasta, try Pastaio. With a focus on locally grown and sustainable fresh ingredients, chef Lisa Stanko-Mohen offers both Gluten Free and take home meals. After bringing her handmade pasta from Manhattan to Spring Lake, Stanko-Mohen has become a local favorite.

Matt Haley’s Ingredients for

Humanitarian SucceSS As the winner of the James Beard Foundation’s 2014 Humanitarian of the year award, the International Association of Culinary Professionals National Humanitarian award, and the National Restaurant Associations 2014 Cornerstone Humanitarian award, Matt Haley has become quite the celebrity this spring. Yet, Haley does not take this as a personal success. Rather, he sees this as recognition of the work of his company including his coworkers, and his community. For him, “this organization does not exist in our community, but rather, for and because of our community, both local and global.” Being honored by these three organizations all at once is a bit overwhelming, but this restauranteur remains grateful and humble in the face of amazing success. hile Haley was born and raised and first learned the culinary business in Washington, D.C., he has always felt a deep connection to Delaware.

He recalls fond childhood memories of enjoying summer crab, steak, and fresh sweet corn with his mother on Bethany Beach. These memories instilled in him a love for the area and for good food. In 1999, he moved to Delaware, planning to stay for a season, but there was no going back and it quickly became his home. In 2001, he went out on a limb and opened his first restaurant, now called Bluecoast Seafood Grill, in the sleepy beach town of Bethany that quickly found incredible acclaim, becoming a culinary destination. Today, his restaurant group, SoDel Concepts, consistently offers locally grown plates and tastes with multiple locations including, Fish On! in Lewes, NorthEast Seafood Kitchen in Ocean View, Catch54 in Fenwick Island, Papa Grande’s in Fenwick Island and Rehoboth, Lupo Di Mare in Rehoboth, Matt’s Fish Camp in North Bethany, and Plate Catering. For Haley, this has become a perfect way to combine two of his greatest passions: the beach and simple, fresh food.

W

32 ISSU E N O. 3

Still, he has a third great passion for giving back that shines through in his humanitarian work. Matt Haley is a byproduct of people who helped him and were there for him when he could not be there for himself. These people have inspired his deep involvement in service— both locally and globally. Living the way he lives, he understands the importance of community and friendship, bringing that into his restaurants and the many communities he is a part of. Just one of the many ways he gives back is as an active member of the Latino community surrounding Papa Grande’s. He gives a portion of the profits back into the community and also goes into local schools to work with the students offering support and mentorship.

In the end, the greatest part of the job is creating a business that employs people, especially those who may not be that employable, so they can have a good life, feed their children, and be happy. That is the simple but noble mission of Matt Haley Companies (MHC).

Right now, MHC is expanding to 27 businesses and bringing in about $50 million dollars in revenue. In the future, they hope to have 100 businesses bringing in about $250 million. The goal is to create revenue and leverage the profits for good. Whether that means opening up a factory near a prison for work release, a coffee plantation in Nepal for women who are coming out of bonded labor so they can make a decent leaving and feed their families, or hiring autistic young adults in their restaurants (something they

already do), Matt Haley infuses a commitment to others in every step of the process.

While for many people, his recent awards would be the culmination of a life’s work; they are just the beginning for Haley. He will absolutely be one to watch as he continues to make great food and an even greater difference in communities around the world.

You may be able to find a great deal on a condo or home while mortgage rates are still low. Current low interest rates can provide for a more desirable property without increasing your budgeted amount, and depending on your situation, can be advisable to paying cash. Be aware that qualifying for a second home loan can be tricky. If you intend to use the home as an investment, you will need to evaluate that the “numbers” make sense.

wning a second home in Delaware can offer many financial advantages. First, a second home used as a rental property can be a way to increase your income and cash flow. Also, in terms of quality vacation time with family, a second home at the Delaware shore sounds a lot more “fun” than a mutual fund. A third aspect to consider though is that homes typically are solid investments. The Rehoboth Beach real estate market regularly changes, however looking longterm, you’ll find that homes here always appreciate.

LEWES

Are you in a position where it would make sense to have another home in a resort town like Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach or Lewes? You’ll be interested to know that there are still tax benefits, along with lifestyle perks to owning a second home in Delaware. Delaware is one of the best places in the country due to its location to major metropolitan areas and our low tax burden.

District Home Magazine: What does it mean to be the only licensed LEED Certified and NAR EcoBroker®/ Ecosociate® for MD and DC? How does this set you apart?

Jill schwartz: The National Association of REALTORS® created the Green Designation to service the growing demand for green expertise in real estate. The Green Resource Council awards the NAR Green Designation to REALTORS® who have met specific educational requirements.

I took it one step further. I joined the U.S. Green Building Council, a committee made up of architects, real estate agents, building owners, lawyers and environmentalists who provided the foundation for the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. I completed the LEED Green Building Certification Program and advanced training in five environmental categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality.

DHM: What are the benefits of building/owning a green home?

Js: Greener choices can mean healthier indoor air quality and green upgrades and features offer cost benefits through return on investment. As a National Association of REALTORS® Green Designee, EcoBroker®/ Ecosociate®, I help my clients navigate green materials, energy-efficient technologies, green building and product ratings, and help them understand green design principles. I have access to top industry resources and tools that create awareness for healthier living choices.

I also represent Long & Foster Real Estate as a Green Ambassador. My Green Living web site, www.GREENLONGANDFOSTER.com, was recently launched to share fun ideas about green building and decorating.

DHM: What are your latest accomplishments and awards?

Js: I am affiliated with Long & Foster’s Bethesda Gateway Office with over $1 billion in sales for the 10th year. In 2013, I was the #3 individual agent in the office and a member of Long & Foster’s prestigious Founders Club.

I specialize in the luxury homes market and currently have a $5+ million dollar spec home listed for sale in Bethesda. Recently I was licensed in Virginia and Delaware.

DHM: What are your thoughts on the current 2014 market? Prices have risen for the past 24 months. Do you think this will continue?

Js: Interest rates remain low and I am confident that 2014 will be very strong for both buyers and sellers. I foresee a very active market in the Eco-Chic, trendy neighborhoods of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Adams Morgan, the U-Street Corridor, Petworth and Georgetown.

The beach is also on an upswing. Bethany just had the highest oceanfront sale close in years.

I think this new concept of polar vortex will create more momentum in the market for second homes and buyers looking to escape to the beaches!
