I definitely recommend Martin to any buyer or seller in San Diego. Thanks Martin, you're the best!” -Aaron “My family and I were completely satisfied to find Martin Barros to sell our house.

Being in the military, I have bought and sold 7 houses, but Martin would “hands down” win the award for providing the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE amongst all the REALTORS® that I have worked with. He was RESPECTFUL and truly RESPONSIVE to all our questions/concerns and addressed each one with equal importance. He had the house cleaned, staged furniture, painted two rooms, provided lawn care maintenance, performed minor interior maintenance, and marketed a professionally crafted video. He held an open house the first weekend after posting to the MLS ,and the house was sold in 3 days! Martin is the ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL and has a battle-tested approach on how to sale your house FAST AND FOR THE MAXIMUM VALUE! If you are looking for a realtor, don’t waste your time with other REALTORS® that provide lip service, CALL MARTIN BARROS! YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!” -Jeff

With affluent residential buyers demanding immersive, experiential amenities, state-of-the-art home theaters are taking center stage.

BY ROGER GRODY

ONE OF THE pandemic's most enduring impacts is our appreciation for creating unique experiences within the home, whether it be hosting a Michelin-starred chef or enjoying a spa treatment. In addition to lavish kitchens, offices, and fitness centers, homeowners are now embracing and embellishing home theaters previously reserved for Hollywood studio execs and the like — with all the bells and whistles of a commercial setting.

In suburban subdivisions, this trend is expressed through conversions of underutilized dens into trickedout media rooms.

AcousticSmart's designs offer immersive experiences with prominent displays.

"We want to make it immersive, so you're not only the spectator but part of the movie." longer a spectator but part of the movie experience," says Charschan.

Interior designer Lisa Slayman, founder of Californiabased Slayman Cinema, collaborates with architects, audio-video integrators, and acousticians on home theater projects. "Typically, clients want the room to make a great impression the moment you walk in, a space that everyone talks about and wants to see and experience," says Slayman.

"They want it to transport them to another world and elicit an emotional response." For a theater in Saudi Arabia — in a palace occupied by a member of the royal family — Slayman blended Old Hollywood glamour and contemporary opulence in a design that incorporates illuminated amethyst gemstones and Swarovski crystals woven into fabrics.

Reporting that the gaming and esports industry is now twice the size of the music and movie industries combined, Slayman is now being asked to create new media spaces that transcend passive viewing.

With accelerating technologies driving new designs, many clients are requesting spaces that do more than simply accommodate movie nights. "These are multigenerational showcase spaces, designed to entertain young and old in a whole new way, and it's a skyrocketing trend," says Slayman. "They are selfcontained environments where players and the audience feel the sensations of sight and sound," explains the designer, who adds, "The options for sports simulation in the home are virtually limitless."

Over the past 30 years, Florida-based Acoustic Innovations has earned an international clientele that includes Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, and anybody passionate about in-home entertainment.

The company's staff of designers, fabricators, and acoustics experts work closely with audio-visual specialists to integrate state-of-the-art technology into theaters whose designs range from classical to avantgarde. Acoustic Innovations' CEO Emily Miller reports, "We marry acoustics with aesthetics," adding, "We want your space to sound great, but also look great."

Miller observes that some Acoustic Innovations clients request theaters with interior styles and color palettes consistent with their home's overall design. "But others want to open the door to their theater and immediately be transported to another world," she explains. The latter concept can result in a contemporary home accommodating an ornate Renaissance-style theater or a traditional residence with an auditorium resembling the deck of the USS Enterprise. "There's very little we can't do, so we love clients who come to us with an imagination," says Miller.

This home includes a ticket window.

Below is a Dreamliner design.

Theo Kalomirakis, "the father of home theater," now resides in Greece, but continues to design extravagant projects through the New York company he founded, TK Theaters. The firm's portfolio includes Chinese, Tuscan, and Art Deco designs, as well as a European mansion's auditorium whose crystal chandeliers and gilded ceiling were inspired by a Russian palace. Now, leading theater designers are pushing the boundaries of clients' imaginations and creating otherworldly environments in which to escape for movie night — in the spirit of the extravagantly themed movie palaces of the 1920s.

AcousticSmart indulged a client's passion for "The Lord of the Rings" with a meticulously detailed, castle-like theme and Acoustic Innovations has created theaters modeled after "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" spacecraft.

At a sprawling estate on the Southern California coast, Slayman Cinema captured the nostalgia of the owner's hometown theater, complete with box office, marquee, and neighboring shake shop. Charschan of AcousticSmart reports that although some retrominded clients seek to replicate landmark movie theaters, current design trends favor sleek, minimalist aesthetics, while fiber-optic LED ceilings — which can

"[Clients] want to open the door to their theater and immediately be transported to another world. There's very little we can't do, so we love clients who come to us with an imagination." provide a soothing starry-night effect — have gained momentum.

Because of the expedited release of major feature films to streaming platforms, a practice that emerged during the pandemic, along with ever-evolving technologies, access to home entertainment has been democratized.

Charschan states, "You no longer have to be part of an elite Bel-Air crowd to enjoy a first-run release at home."

What Every Homeowner Needs To Know In Today’s Shifting Market

Source: https://www.mykcm.com/shareable-content/blog/what-every-homeowner-needs-to-know-in-todays-shifting-market?fiab=a

Here’s something you need to know. The housing market is getting back to a healthier, more normal place. And even though it may not sound like it, this shift is actually a good thing.

It’s what you should expect. It’s just that our expectations have been skewed by the intense seller’s market over the past few years.

82

But what you need to remember is: there’s still plenty of opportunity to be had if you’re thinking about selling – whether that’s next month or next year. You just need to stay up to date on what’s happening in the market, and have a strategy that matches the moment. Here’s your update.

Inventory’s Up. Buyer Power Is Coming Back.

According to the latest data, the number of homes for sale is rising back toward more normal levels (see graph below):

Here’s how to avoid being one of those sellers who has to reduce their asking price. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor. com, says: “The rising share of price reductions suggests that a lot of sellers are anchored to prices that aren’t realistic in today’s housing market.

Today’s sellers would be wise to listen to feedback they are getting from the market.”

The best way to get that information? Lean on your local agent.

They have the expertise to set a price that sells in any market.

Because if your price isn’t compelling, it’s not selling.

Flexibility Wins Negotiations Gone are the days of buyers waiving inspections and appraisals just to get a deal done. Now, because they have more homes to choose from, buyers are able to ask for things like repairs, credits, and help with closing costs. And data from Redfin shows nearly 44.4% of sellers are willing to negotiate (see graph below):

But inventory growth is going to vary a lot based on where you live.

If you’re in a market where the number of homes for sale is back to normal, buyers may have more sway than you’d expect. That doesn’t mean buyers have all the power – it just means they have more choices, so your home has to stand out.

But if you live where inventory is still pretty limited, you may see more buyers competing for your house.

No matter where you are, the key is to work with a pro who can help you adjust your game plan for your local market.

The Right Price Matters More Than Ever With more homes to choose from, today’s buyers are quick to skip over homes that feel overpriced. That’s why pricing your house right is the secret to selling quickly and for top dollar.

That’s a point Realtor.com really drives home: “ . . . a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home should have little problem finding a buyer.”

Miss the mark, though, and you may have to backtrack. Today, about 1 in 5 sellers (19.1%) are reducing their asking price to attract buyers (see map below):

The takeaway? This isn’t a bad market. It’s just a different one. And it’s in line with more normal years in the housing market, like back in 2019. The savviest sellers are the ones taking advantage of every opportunity to work with buyers and make their house shine.

And it’ll help if you think of concessions as tools, not losses.

Use them to bridge gaps, sweeten deals, and get across the finish line. And don’t stress. Since prices went up roughly 55% over the past five years, you’ve got plenty of room to make a concession or two and still come out ahead.

Just be sure to work with your agent to understand which concessions could be the key to sealing the deal.

BOTTOM LINE Sellers who are going to succeed in the weeks and months ahead are the ones who understand this market shift and lean into it with the right expectations and the right strategy.

Let’s talk about what’s working in our local area right now – and how we can make those wins work for you whenever you’re ready to make a move.
