THANK YOU

– LUXURY REPORT EXPLAINED – The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing has analyzed a number of metrics — including sales prices, sales volumes, number of sales, sales-price-to-list-price ratios, days on market and price-per-square-foot – to provide you a comprehensive North American Luxury Market report.

Additionally, we have further examined all of the individual luxury markets to provide both an overview and an in-depth analysis - including, where data is sufficient, a breakdown by luxury single-family homes and luxury attached homes.

It is our intention to include additional luxury markets on a continual basis. If your market is not featured, please contact us so we can implement the necessary qualification process. More indepth reports on the luxury communities in your market are available as well.

Looking through this report, you will notice three distinct market statuses, Buyer's Market, Seller's Market, and Balanced Market. A Buyer's Market indicates that buyers have greater control over the price point. This market type is demonstrated by a substantial number of homes on the market and few sales, suggesting demand for residential properties is slow for that market and/or price point.

By contrast, a Seller's Market gives sellers greater control over the price point. Typically this means there are few homes on the market and a generous demand, causing competition between buyers who ultimately drive sales prices higher.

A Balanced Market indicates that neither the buyers nor the sellers control the price point at which that property will sell and that there is neither a glut nor a lack of inventory. Typically, this type of market sees a stabilization of both the list and sold price, the length of time the property is on the market as well as the expectancy amongst homeowners in their respective communities – so long as their home is priced in accordance with the current market value.

REPORT GLOSSARY REMAINING INVENTORY: The total number of homes available at the close of a month.

DAYS ON MARKET: Measures the number of days a home is available on the market before a purchase offer is accepted.

LUXURY BENCHMARK PRICE: The price point that marks the transition from traditional homes to luxury homes.

NEW LISTINGS: The number of homes that entered the market during the current month.

PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT: Measures the dollar amount of the home's price for an individual square foot.

SALES RATIO: Sales Ratio defines market speed and determines whether the market currently favors buyers or sellers. Buyer's Market = up to 14%; Balanced Market = 15 to 20%; Seller's Market = 21% plus. If >100%, sales from previous month exceeds current inventory.

SP/LP RATIO: The Sales Price/List Price Ratio compares the value of the sold price to the value of the list price.

elcome to the Luxury Market Report, your guide to luxury real estate market data and trends for North America. Produced monthly by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, this report

provides an in-depth look at the top residential markets across the United States and Canada. Within the individual markets, you will find established luxury benchmark prices and detailed survey of luxury active and sold properties designed to showcase current market status and recent trends. The national report illustrates a compilation of the top North American markets to review overall standards and trends.

Copyright © 2018 Institute for Luxury Home Marketing | www.luxuryhomemarketing.com | 214.485.3000 The Luxury Market Report is a monthly analysis provided by The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. Luxury benchmark prices are determined by The Institute annually. This active and sold data has been compiled by various sources, including local MLS boards, local tax records and Realtor.com. Data is deemed reliable to the best of our knowledge, but is not guaranteed.

NORTH AMERICAN N OV E M B E R LUXURY REVIEW 2 0 1 8 As the year draws to a close, November’s statistics reveal that the luxury market remains solid, prices stable, and the median length of time, as well as the selling price to list price ratios, remain consistent.

Inventory is increasing, but this is reflective of both the time of year and ultra-high priced luxury properties selling at a slower rate than in previous years.

Comparing last October 2018 to November 2018, the median single-family luxury sales price climbed 8.5% while sales fell 11.7%. The luxury median attached sales prices rose 2.3%, and the number of sales also rose 2.6% in November. Both single-family and attached homes actually saw a small drop in the median DOM (3-4 days), but overall are on the market a median of 10-15 days longer than in the peak selling season.

The luxury segment of real estate is often described as being a minor part of the whole industry, but is readily recognized as being a major influencer in the creator of trends and providing a barometer to changes in the industry. Therefore, this month we are taking the opportunity to report on some of the key factors that are responsible for creating and maintaining today’s affluent communities.

Water Locales As you would expect water locations of any kind, from man-made to coastal towns and mountain peaks, are a big draw and have become subject to hosting some of the highest priced homes. These luxury strongholds are associated with long-time celebrity havens, captains of industry, and international businesspeople living in both primary and secondary residences.

Locations such as those found along the incredible coastline of Florida have seen substantial upgrades to their infrastructure as well as older mansions being torn down to create even more private locales for these multi-millionaires.

Newer, exclusive luxury developments such as Ward Village in Honolulu have become increasingly popular. Artfully designed to appreciate the magnificent ocean views, provide access to private beaches and docks, their overall concept is focused on creating ‘wellness’ of which water is a significant part for its serenity and healing properties.

Whether a location is a flashier, more celebrity-driven neighborhood or offers gated access, pristine parks, and a quieter lifestyle, these communities attract a mix of families, jet-setters, and seasonal owners.

Home, Work, and Play Real estate requirements of the affluent have changed significantly over the past few years to suit home, business, and lifestyle requirements, often interlinked with each other.

Global entrepreneurs require homes in numerous locations for business purposes – so key destinations throughout the world have become their focus, creating striking increases in demand for downtown city locations. San Francisco represents one such city with direct access to Silicon Valley and offers the amenities that come with living in a sophisticated city as well as easy airport accessibility.

Equally, these entrepreneurs are choosing to spend more time working from their homes, made plausible due to the technological advances in the last few years. Second homes that were once purchased for use as 2-week family retreats are now being used for longer periods facilitating both work and leisure opportunities for their owners.

“Aspen is really a ski resort last and a lifestyle first,” says Michelle Sullivan, broker associate at Christie’s International Real Estate Aspen. This lifestyle of posh dining and entertainment, arts and culture, and, of course, the outdoors has been drawing people to this enclave in the Rocky Mountains for decades.

Much like other mountainous vacation destinations, there are strict land-use regulations that protect much of the natural beauty surrounding Aspen, which naturally puts a strain on inventory and retains high price points.

Wellness and Health In the midst of a world where speed and instant gratification are at a touch of a button – there has been a growing recognition for a need to find time for peace and relaxation.

Consumer demand for wellness lifestyle real estate and communities is on the rise globally. In addition, homes designed to improve people’s wellness are now commanding 10-25% higher price premiums.

Today there are 600-plus global projects built, partially built, or in the pipeline – each one with a unique “wellness proposition.”

Many luxury homeowners have recognized that this is not just a hot new industry market trend – but the fact they can assist in leading the charge in tackling today’s uniquely modern problems: sedentary lives, unhealthy diets, stress, social isolation and loneliness, pollution, nature-deprivation, etc. – is creating powerful opportunities.

One such new wellness edifice is set to hit sunny Palm Beach, Florida late next year. Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences—two glass-encased oceanfront towers on Singer Island inspired by the yogic philosophy of mindfulness—was envisioned by Dilip Barot, founder of Creative Choice Group. “These consumers define wellness for themselves, using inner science with research and technology to determine their best lifestyle,” says Barot.

White Glove Service There is also a growing demand for white-glove, boutique level of service being fueled by an unexpected demographic. Older couples are leaving their big homes in the suburbs to find a home in more desirable downtown or central areas of their respective cities.

Cities such as Boston are seeing this established wealth driving exceptional growth of historical and picturesque neighborhoods where average prices can run as high as $2,800 per square foot. Additionally, new construction like the Archer Residences Beacon Hill is establishing a new normal in high-end, amenity-driven living for that same older demographic. The Archer will provide 20,000 square feet of amenity space in a 75-unit building. Pricing starts at $1 million for select one-bedroom units and goes to $18 million for a duplex penthouse.

Exclusive, Rare, and Scarce Locations that offer exclusivity, something rare or unique, have extremely limited inventory are considered to be the creme de la crème….and locations such as Sea Cliff, Pacific Heights, and Presidio Heights personify these attributes.

“There’s this notion that once people move to Sea Cliff, they spend the rest of their lives there,” says Compass San Francisco agent Missy Wyant Smit.

With new, record-breaking transactions like the $48.8 million sale in June 2018 of 2500 Gordon Drive in Florida’s exclusive community of Port Royal, it’s fair to say that interest in the ultra-luxury side of the market is self-sustaining.

Driven by the success of the tech and stock markets, lack of high tech builders, and the rapidly increasing costs of building a home (coupled with California’s Prop 13) leaves current homeowner’s in Silicon Valley thinking twice about selling – putting further strain on inventory.

In places like Palo Alto, Atherton, and Woodside, neighborhoods continue to command special premiums that cause sticker shock to even the most savvy billionaires.

Safe Haven for Investment Internationally, North America is recognized for its cultural diversity and financial influence as well as its accessibility for investment opportunities with strong legislation. This has translated into the purchasing of real estate being seen as a relatively safe investment for foreign wealth.

In recent months, prices have started to plateau and additional foreign taxes have caused a pause in the higher-end market. In the $5 million to $8 million range, homes that would have attracted a foreign purchaser used to sell in a few days [as recently as] two years ago are now on the market for a couple of months. Anything above $10 million is taking much longer to sell.

Although statistics show a slowing down of the ultra-high-end market and a decrease in foreign investment, many expert evaluations and recent reports are stating that the market is merely heading into a transition phase. Presented with these new opportunities, both local and domestic buyers are rebuilding the value vacated by the international money.

Next month we will review these new local buyer trends and expert predictions for 2019.
