Members of our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Pinehurst Realty Group Luxury Specialists Team report that we have a large segment of buyers and sellers who are Baby Boomers and many who are in the early retirement phase of their lives. Some empty nesters are looking to move to smarter living spaces. This may include upscale features, outdoor living areas, improved energy efficiency, less space and the latest designs for luxury lifestyles. Others are looking for homes that best support multi-generational living with ageing parents and children. Some are considering their health and moving close to facilities that can provide the best care, which we have no shortage of in Moore County.

Our Company Luxury Market Share Growth One of the important stories in the Moore County luxury real estate market is the emergence of the Luxury Collection from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Pinehurst Realty Group. Since we made the transition to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in April of 2014, there has been a dramatic shift in the market share for luxury listings and sales. Although we have always been strong in this market, our growth during the last 12 months has been significant. We have seen an increase in both our luxury listings and our sales. Berkshire Hathaway has provided a marketing platform for these properties that includes a national network of Luxury Specialists that we connect with to share our properties, a marketing platform that enables us to present the properties with quality marketing pieces and additional exposure with the web portals such as www.BerkshireHathawayHS.com and the online distribution of our listings in the real estate section of the Wall Street Journal, www.WSJ.com.

Because of these elements, during the last 12 months, we have grown our market share in residential luxury homes sold by 223% in units and 222% in the dollar volume of the properties we have sold. This increase resulted in a market share of 17% of the total units sold and 18.68% of the volume sold - the highest achievement of all firms in our multiple listing service. Our parent company, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is committed to redefining luxury real estate by offering more value and exceptional service to their associates and their clients. The results in market share and the increasing number of quality luxury associates joining the organization prove that this strategy is working.
