LUXURY MARKET TRENDS
READY FOR SUMMER! It’s summertime, and the luxury real estate market is back in motion! This summer’s luxury market is a bit different than usual, with fewer luxury listings on the market compared to last year. In some areas, unsold luxury inventory is substantially lower than it was in 2019. Though overall unsold inventory is constrained, we saw more new luxury listings come on the market in June, compared to June 2019. The number of luxury homes going under contract have made a huge comeback since the COVID-19 crisis started. In most areas, the number of homes going under contract in June were substantially higher than June 2019. Wherever you are at in your journey, our broker associates are prepared to meet you with expert knowledge and thoughtful advice with your goals in mind. We hope you enjoy our Luxury Market Trends report covering the second quarter of 2020!

Luxury homes sales have warmed up quite a bit despite the fluctuations in the market due to the virus. Many pending and unsold homes are beginning to sell, and with inventory shrinking faster than sales, sellers have a unique opportunity to maximize purchase prices.
Many buyers and sellers in our local luxury market appreciate the security and privacy that are a result of our current showing restrictions. Across the board, we have seen an increase in clients who want to have more space, security and privacy –even if that means purchasing a second home in a vacation destination.

COVID slowed our agent’s ability to show homes for a couple of months due to restrictions with direct contact. Nevertheless, many buyers continued their home search online—leveraging virtual tours, coordinating the walkthrough online and adapting however they could. Many buyers also used this downtime to research the area—including local schools and parks and shopping centers.
New resale listings on Mercer Island were significantly lower in April in comparison to the same time last year, but they slowly began to recover through May and now activity for pending sales and new listings is back to normal. With low inventory and historically low interest rates this is a great time for sellers in the intro luxury market segment (homes in $1M-$1.5 price range)!

I N T H E CO M M U N I T Y “Most of our brokers pride themselves in finding ways to give back to the community. Often, they donate their money or time to local organizations that they personally relate to but in addition to those efforts, our office as a whole has continued to support the work being done at the Ronald McDonald house right here in Bend. With little or no fundraising events currently happening, they have had trouble securing everyday items—which is why support from offices like ours is so important.” - Dan Heater

SECOND QUARTER
HIGHLIGHTS

| J O H N L S C OT T. C O M /97851
Depending on price range and location, we saw strong luxury market activity in Seattle, West Bellevue and Mercer Island over the second quarter of 2020. Though inventory is tight in many luxury price ranges, both Seattle and Mercer Island still saw incredible comebacks in the number of homes going under contract in June 2020. In Seattle, the $1 to $1.5 million price range is particularly hot, with June 2020 bringing a severe shortage of inventory and surge sales activity intensity. In the second quarter, available inventory for Seattle homes priced $1 million and above ranged from 32 to 40 percent lower than the same time period in 2019. However, the number of homes going under contract slowly ticked up, ending with a 30 percent increase in June 2020 compared to June 2019.

Those purchasing luxury homes for $900,000 and above in the Bend market were faced with fewer available listings than last year in the second quarter of 2020.

Luxury homes going under contract in June 2020 increased by 36 percent compared to June 2019; buyer demand remains strong locally. High-net-worth buyers can take advantage of low interest rates, which provide “price jumping� opportunities when looking for a new primary residence, vacation home or home to retire in.

LUXURY TRENDS Summer is well underway! Seasonal celebrations and outdoor activities may look a little different this year as many of us forego travel and spend more time at home. This could be the perfect time to update the design of your spaces and celebrate with a well-deserved cocktail when you’re done.
D E S I G N YO U R S A N C T UA R Y
We talked with Julie Bowers, Senior Design Consultant at BoConcept, to learn about the latest trends in design, and how to make our living spaces work for us. Take a look!
What trends seem to be emerging as we are all are spending more time together at home? Biophilic design is popping up left and right on the interior design scene and it is changing how we view the impact a home’s design has on well-being. This branch of design uses natural elements such as wood, plants, and natural fibers to create an aesthetic that more closely resembles nature. Why? Studies show that we have a primal urge to connect to nature and those who are more connected, even in an artificial environment, are happier, healthier, and less stressed—and let’s be honest, who couldn’t use that trio! Embrace biophilic design by adding plants to your space, embracing natural light whenever possible, and swapping out plastic for more sustainable materials.
What trends are becoming less popular? Pale monochromatics and grey on grey color trends have been replaced. Bright, honest colors and materials levitate the designs in a quiet yet animate setting using the ‘Simple Essentials’ theme as a styling guide. This theme offers a light and calming aesthetic that is undeniably Scandinavian. Design your room around a palette of neutrals, blues and grays. Work in naturally tactile surfaces. Then bring the outside in with nature-inspired prints and other accessories.
2020 Q2 LU X U R Y M A R K E T T R E N D S
Why is having a well-designed space important? A well-designed and organized space promotes productivity and a healthy state of mind. Consider incorporating a plant, artwork and those special items that inspire you, the space is yours and yours only!
How can these trends be incorporated into a home that is going to be listed for sale in the coming months? Incorporate timeless multi-functional furniture designs in your home. Too often the constraints of the space limit us. The solution: furniture that adapts to the situation. That allows you to entertain guests, invite people to stay the night, transform from living to dining space, or add a workstation to the room. It’s about ensuring accessibility, comfort, and purpose.
