wendy.semkus@sothebysrealty.com I welcome this opportunity to connect and collaborate with you on your lifestyle design this year and beyond. Together, we can blend hearth, home, travel, investment, culture, art and philanthropy into a way of life that reflects your style and character. I call it ‘life by design.’ As a Lifestyle Consultant, I seek first to understand you...your vision, values, connections, commitments and passions. We can then narrow the selection of homes to those that most closely match your ‘life by design.’ From architectural style and interior decor to sustainable and other eco-positive solutions, there are so many options I can help you evaluate and implement during the selection phase and beyond. As a Real Estate Agent, my specialty is representing home buyers anywhere in the world. From selection through negotiation, purchase, move-in to occupancy and beyond, I focus on resolving every challenge a buyer can encounter. My goal is to ensure that every aspect of your experience, from the technical to the aesthetic, runs smoothly and that your interaction with me and my associates is a delightful one every step of the way. Furthermore, by choosing to build my business solely around your unique needs as a buyer, my aim is to raise your expectations and satisfaction levels and in turn, create greater value for all buyers. When you’re ready to move forward, I’m ready to spring into action and find the home you’ve always imagined!

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 in-depth 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 exceed 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 © 2019 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 LUXURY REVIEW How Playing the Data Game Will Yield More Results in 2019 As we move into spring, which is traditionally the busiest time of year for home sales, and consider the statistical analysis illustrating that the overall high-end real estate market has normalized back to traditional levels, what does this mean to homeowners looking to sell? How in today’s market can understanding statistics and working with the right real estate professional become the solution to meeting expectations?
Researching and analyzing data has played a crucial role, and will continue to do so, when understanding how to match both the concerns of the home seller with the expectations of the buyer. The Institute's research has determined that lifestyle, comparative affordability, and financial opportunity are the key differentiators in the decision process of the affluent buyer. But while these buyers can be decisive when their goals are met, they are also fickle because their needs are not based on necessity but from desire. Taking these factors into consideration, coupled with the unique attributes of the property, successful agents have recognized that using statistical data has often addressed the concerns of
their sellers, enabling them to provide answers to questions such as what is the value of my home, how long will it take to sell, and how are you going to market my home to connect to the right buyers? A slower pace of sales generally means that homes will take longer to sell because buyers have the opportunity to make more informed decisions and are less willing to compromise. So it becomes incumbent on the listing agent to comprehensively research all aspects of the property in order to create a long-term marketing strategy that keeps both potential buyers and the market engaged in the property. Using data to understand current inventory, sales, and pricing differentials both locally and nationally are important in establishing the value of a property. Leveraging this information is the way to connect with the more data-driven luxury consumer. They are looking for real insight and accurate information on how this property will enhance their lifestyle, offer value for money, and ideally provide an investment opportunity which, in turn, will enable them to move decisively! It is predicted that for these affluent consumers, there will be a continuation in the trend of expanding their portfolio of properties. Not only are their numbers forecast to increase exponentially, but they will continue to have the means to make significant discretionary purchases. This growing wealth demographic is continually being fueled by increasing numbers of entrepreneurs, higher salaries
in
the
technology
sector,
and
maturing
millennials. However, these are savvier buyers who will also become less willing to compromise on everything from price to location. Their focus will be on value-added amenities such as security, views, lifestyle, accessibility, and functionality. This means that luxury sellers will need to look closely at the holistic properties of their home to establish its true value in today’s market, rather than just the quality and amenities of the home itself. As the market shifts, statistical data reveals that
properties
priced
correctly
meeting
these expectations are likely to sell quickly, especially if their Realtor's marketing strategy positions it effectively in front of the right discerning buyers. This is critical in order to maximize the potential return on a luxury property; its exposure must go further than the local, or even national luxury real estate community! Choosing a Realtor who has an established local and global presence with both their peers and the affluent community might be the first step. The second step is to ensure your Realtor has a critical understanding of the nuances and influences that directly affect your home's value. But the key differentiator is an expert who understands how to analyze and use data to influence and find potential buyers - they will become your resource to a priceless solution!
