LUXURY MARKET TRENDS
A FRESH START! While no one foresaw the changes we saw in 2020, we’re entering the year 2021 walking in the opportunities a fresh start brings. Buyer activity in the luxury housing market was robust in 2020, with many homeowners taking advantage of historically low interest rates when deciding to move or purchase a second home. Even this winter, the luxury market was more intense than usual due to strong buyer demand. Up next will be the prime luxury market season beginning at the tail end of Q1 in March, running through September. The two fringe months of February and October also are active in the luxury market. We hope you’ll find the market information and luxury insights in this report helpful as you look to buy or sell your next home!

JOHN L. SCOT T LUXURY SPECIALISTS
SCHOLARS OF THE MARKET
Curious about luxury trends in your neighborhood? See what some of our real estate specialists had to say about the luxury market in their area.
JANA WILKINS Bainbridge Island, WA Bainbridge Island experienced a very fast paced luxury market in Q4 2020 with buyer demand far outpacing available inventory. This created an especially competitive atmosphere with cash buyers winning multiple offer scenarios with an average sales price 3% over list price. The work from home trend has driven buyers to Bainbridge Island for an idyllic lifestyle that feels rural with all of the culture of the world class city of Seattle just a 30-minute ferry ride away. If you can work from anywhere, why not live in Paradise?
M A C K E N Z I E A N D L E S LY E S T E WA R T Gig Harbor, WA Gig Harbor is a charming community in a geographic area that boasts a significant amount of lineal waterfront feet, continuing to make this market a desirable destination for buyers who seek the amenities of the city (one hour by car) with properties that offer impressive outdoor spaces, natural & secluded settings, as well as access to waterfront and incredible views of the Puget Sound. A large majority of Exceptional Homes listings are continuing to go pending in less than 30 days, whereas historically we experienced 3-6 months of inventory. The homes that are Buyer-Ready Day One, with sellers who have made necessary updates, are even more sought-after than those properties which need significant updates. We continue to see multiple offers at list price, or higher, as many city buyers desire to move out of the urban areas for more space, property, and privacy.
LY N D A O ’ N E I L L Lake Oswego, OR I have seen a continued demand for open spaces and home offices, most buyers need at least one area of the house where you can close the door to work. There’s also been an increase in demand for multi-generational homes where families are looking for something that will accommodate their parents and their children all together. And of course, private and fully fenced outdoor space for family activities and a newly adopted dog.
N A R VA WA LTO N , G R A C E H U DT LO F F, A N D I G O R M AY S T E R University Place, WA According to Tacoma University Place office leader Narva Walton lack of inventory in the higher priced market is being felt by her brokers selling in the higher end. “The limited inventory means there’s not as much to select from. So, even in homes priced over $1M, the homes are often moving in 1-2 weeks and many buyers are being outbid. I have more buyers than there are listings for the upper end market of houses a million plus”, said Luxury Broker Grace Hudtloff. Igor Mayster, also of John L. Scott Tacoma-University Place added: “Buyers from King County are buying in Pierce because our luxury price tag is lower, and they get more for their money. It helps now that they can work from home and don’t have to commute. Many of my buyers are employees of Amazon and tech companies and working from home has been great for them.”
2020 Q4 LU X U R Y M A R K E T T R E N D S
DANIELLE SNOW Bend, OR Our market exploded in September with the influx of buyers from outside the state descending on Central Oregon. Since then, there is very little inventory but, in the wings many anxious, willing and able buyers causing the prices to rise. I see this trend to continue in 2021. Personally, I’m calling this market “The Covid Effect”. Many people can work remotely, causing people to reconsider their current environment and seek out a lifestyle filled with outdoor activities. These activities and more are some of the many perks that residents here enjoy. You name it, we’ve got it, all within 30 minutes from home base.
MARTIN WEISS Issaquah, WA The Q4 luxury market remained extremely strong on the Eastside with virtually sold-out conditions in the entry level luxury segment and low inventory conditions up to $5M. The Uber Lux market has more inventory but is still seeing strong sales activity. We continue to see multiple offers in the entry level luxury market on homes prepared and presented exceptionally for the market. The big trend in 2020 for luxury was higher demand for space in suburbs and vacation boom towns. I do see this trend continuing as people try to balance lifestyle and work moving into the future. The virtual work scene has lasted long enough where buyers preferences are changing. I have had a few clients shift from looking in Seattle neighborhoods to the Eastside and further out.
C I N DY V E R S C H U E R E N Mercer Island, WA With low inventory across the board, new on market luxury homes got their price and sold quickly! Luxury trends I’ve seen are wonderful outdoor living areas with a fireplace and small kitchen and private comfortable high- tech home offices.
T I M CO N WAY Mercer Island, WA The Luxury Market consolidated in the 4th Quarter with most existing inventory being absorbed and few new listings. New listings sold quickly and at premium prices as buyers took advantage of low interest rates, record stock prices, expanding tech businesses and favorable tax laws, with many people leaving markets like California and New York.
SANDRA LEVIN Mercer Island, WA In Q4 on Mercer Island we saw continued record low inventory and high demand. We had multiple offers with strong terms and some going 20-30% over asking. Being ready as a buyer and having the house market ready as a seller was still crucial. Our clients are spending more time fixing and remodeling their homes. Buyers are thinking more about the need for offices and space for kids to do school, and others to work. Indoor-outdoor spaces (a trend that was starting pre-pandemic) is becoming more and more important. Home gym areas, office spaces and outdoor areas are three big demands we are seeing.

FOURTH QUARTER
HIGHLIGHTS
O F F E R E D AT $1,899,900 | J O H N L S C OT T. C O M /16571
The fourth quarter in 2020 set the record as the best fourth quarter for luxury sales activity in Seattle! The luxury market is very active in Seattle, with surge sales activity intensity in the $1 million to $2 million range, then strong activity above $2 million. A few sellers took their home off the market to reposition, which put Seattle luxury inventory in Seattle up compared to the fourth quarter in 2019.

The West Bellevue luxury market is strong, with unsold inventory at a severe shortage from $1 to $3 million. Inventory is low for homes priced above $3 million in West Bellevue. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we saw a mini clean-up in the luxury market, as individuals chose to take their homes off the market to reposition in spring.

On Mercer Island, competition for luxury homes is fierce, as robust winter sales led to nearly every price category being virtually sold out this winter. A larger number of homes came on the market in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 2019, but the intense buyer demand picked up any new listings that entered the market. Looking forward, we should see an improvement in new listings in February or March.

The luxury lifestyle on Bainbridge Island drew in buyers this winter, as sales activity intensity was truly “off the charts� over the last three months. In December and January, we see the lowest available inventory for the year, and we were virtually sold out on Bainbridge Island where most luxury sales activity took place. Looking forward, we anticipate more new listings hitting the luxury Bainbridge Island market in February or March.

Sales activity intensity in Bend’s luxury market was truly “off the charts� the past three months. For homes priced $900,000 and up, the sales activity more than doubled in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to the same time period in 2019. The $900,000 to $1.5 million range is particularly hot, with frenzy-level sales activity intensity. Destination areas like Bend will continue to hold strong in the luxury market, as high-net-worth individuals may choose to relocate, retire or purchase a second home in these areas with an appealing lifestyle / destination draw.

2021 LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS Interior design trends for luxury homes continue to evolve as the needs of homeowners change. Throughout 2020, people spent more time at home. This year luxury homeowners tried new recipes, spent time with family, worked from a home office, and found time to unwind. With lifestyle changes in 2020, we expect there to be a shift in design trends for 2021. Here are the interior design trends expected for 2021:
G O U R M E T K I TC H E N S A gourmet kitchen is a space we’ve seen for several years now and one we expect to grow and evolve as new technology is introduced. Gourmet kitchens not only look beautiful but also offer high-functionality to the homeowner. In a luxury gourmet kitchen, expect to see high-end gas ranges, warming drawers, hidden pantries, and a wet bar (or two). As far as defining features, gourmet kitchens offer homeowners gorgeous granite or quartz countertops, waterfall islands, unique pendant lights, high-end cabinets and hardware, and large under-mount sinks with showstopping faucets.
O U T D O O R S PA C E S F O R E N T E R TA I N I N G Luxury homes often have stunning outdoor spaces. In 2021, we envision a greater desire to create entertaining outdoor spaces for gathering with family and friends. Homeowners can create an outdoor space for entertaining with lounge-worthy patio furniture, an outdoor kitchen/bar, a fire pit, a pool and hot tub, and plenty of string lights.
2020 Q4 LU X U R Y M A R K E T T R E N D S
HOME OFFICES In 2020, we saw a huge shift toward employees working remotely. Home offices became more than a spare room as a majority of the workday is now spent in them. Luxury home offices typically feature built-in bookshelves, a large desk, a lounge area, and the latest smart home technology. We predict a greater emphasis on home offices for luxury real estate in 2021.
B AT H R O O M S D E S I G N E D L I K E S PA S This is a design trend that we expect to see year after year. A luxury bathroom should always feel like a spa, which can include a deep soak tub, a large walk-in shower, heated floors, a double vanity, and his and her walk-in closets. There is more prominence and focus on self-care now, and a spa-like bathroom can help anyone unwind and relax after a long day.
