Sugarloaf Country Club Real Estate Report 2021 - 2022 Edition Published January 1, 2022 Floyd Real Estate Group | FloydREGroup.com Mary Floyd - Founding Partner | Mary.Floyd@Compass.com| 404.312.3837 Tony Floyd - Founding Partner | Tony.Floyd@Compass.com | 404.406.7819

2021 Year in Review 2021 was a record-setting year for Sugarloaf Country Club real estate. The combination of strong demand and very low inventory continued to fuel the seller’s market. Properties that were updated and had desirable amenities closed very quickly - often with multiple offers. We had 81 closings which was the ever recorded. 2006 and 2010 were the prior peaks of the market – 2006 before the real estate recession and 2010 as the height of foreclosures and short sales. The list to sale price ratio was 97.65% versus 92% last year. Sugarloaf property values increased approximately 20% using $ per square foot and adjusting for price distribution. We had unusually high demand for larger and more expensive properties with 11 closings over $2 million versus 1 closing last year. The entry level price for Sugarloaf jumped substantially with few homes available under $1 million. In the 4th quarter, inventory reached the lowest levels we have ever seen with only 2 homes for sale going into January.

HOW DO YOU SELL YOUR PROPERTY FOR THE HIGHEST VALUE? Our exclusive Launch Marketing has consistently achieved the best results. In 2021, Floyd Real Estate Group achieved the highest values for our closings versus other agents – again!

Ranked #1 in 2021 - Selling Sugarloaf Homes for the Highest Values!

Case Study: After interviewing 3 other agents, Susan & Eric Olson selected Mary & Tony Floyd with Floyd Real Estate Group to market and sell their beautiful home at 2885 Darlington Pointe.

“We felt that their exclusive Launch Marketing Program and Value Positioning Strategies provided the best opportunity to achieve the highest market outcome. The other agents thought our market value was around $150,000 lower. The result? Launch marketing created three very busy days of showings and 5 offers that were list price or better! We sold our house for $1,850,000 – exactly what Floyd Real Estate Group estimated for market value. The hardbound Home Books provided to Buyers were very impressive and we loved their Buyer Term Sheets for positioning the price and terms. The Olson's are extremely happy and highly recommend Floyd Real Estate Group!” Erik & Susan Olson

What Is Ahead In 2022?

Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

Sugarloaf Country Club Real Estate in 2022 Now, let’s explore the major trends for 2022 and discuss what is likely to happen. Home values are impacted mostly by supply and demand. The big story for 2022 will be the supply of listed inventory. We are going into to 2022 with extremely low inventory – only 4 homes for sale in Sugarloaf Country Club versus 21 listings last January. We expect to see record low inventory this year while demand will remain strong – which is good news for Sugarloaf sellers! Here is a summary of the national economic and housing forecast for 2022: •

Home values will increase by 5.1%

•

Mortgage rates to rise but remain historically low

Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

We expect to see home values in Sugarloaf Country Club accelerate more than the national average due to extremely low inventory and continued strong demand. However, there is no magic approach to create more luxury inventory. There are only 17 lots left to build and many of those owners are not selling. There are no waves of foreclosures coming. Sugarloaf has averaged 1 short sale or foreclosure since 2015 and we do not see that changing in 2022. There are many Sugarloaf homeowners who would like to take advantage of the current market but are struggling to find their next destination. The emergence of better local move options is the biggest potential driver to create more listed inventory. The # of closings in 2022 will be lower due to the extremely low inventory.

Mortgage rates will slowly rise in 2022 but will have limited impact for luxury Buyers. Higher mortgage rates will impact entry level and first-time homebuyers. The current rates are not normal. The average mortgage rate in the last 50 years was 8%. Even in the early 80s when mortgage rates reached the peak at 18%, people still bought homes.

Top 5 Sugarloaf Country Club Real Estate Trends for 2022: These are the most impactful trends for luxury real estate that will effect Sugarloaf Country Club in the new year.

TREND #1: Resort Pools and Outdoor Living Spaces. We see very strong demand for homes with pool and outdoor living areas. Since the pandemic began, Buyers want their private sanctuaries for family and friends. The cost for a resort pool has increased dramatically and lead times are now 9-12 months. If the home does not have a pool, Buyers almost always ask if a pool is feasible. A conceptual approval from the Sugarloaf POA is a good idea for many properties. Contact us to learn more about this process.

Outdoor living spaces come in many forms. Some are created around a resort pool and others are standalone. Outdoor kitchens, firepits with seating areas, upgraded landscaping with lighting are examples. Some Buyers love garden areas, options for planting fruit-bearing trees or koi ponds. Golf, lake views of Rollins Ranch Lake, stream views of Singleton Creek or nature views of wooded areas are more examples of outdoor spaces that are desirable. Resort pool and outdoor living spaces will be hot in 2022!

Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

TREND #2: Multi-Generational Living. We see an increase in Buyers looking for homes that support multiple generations. This is especially the case with international heritage Buyers where this has been the norm. Desirable features include large secondary bedroom suites, elevators, secondary kitchens and extra parking with circular driveways and parking pads.

Larger square footage of 10,000+ works best for these Buyers. Homes that support multigenerational living will be hot in 2022!

Fun Fact: What area had the highest prices in 2021?

Answer: High-End Ski Resorts (Vail, Aspen, Telluride) Sold for $4,000-$5,000 Per Foot!

Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

TREND #3: Destinations for Kids and Grandkids. This is a common discussion with affluent clients. They want homes that their kids and grandkids want to come home and enjoy!

Second homes at the lake, beach or mountains can be a draw but the primary home is the main focus. Resort living in Sugarloaf Country Club provides golf, tennis, fitness, pools, playgrounds, fishing, outdoor spaces, running/ walking paths and many events during the year. Homes that provide a fun environment for kids and grandkids will be hot in 2022!

Fun Fact: What do Sugarloaf Buyers prefer for flooring?

Answer: Hardwoods and LVT (luxury vinyl tile).

No carpet. Some also want marble floors on main level or stone flooring on terrace level.

Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

TREND #4: Gourmet Kitchens. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Buyers are looking for beautiful kitchens that have been updated with luxury appliances such as Wolf, Viking or Thermador ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators and Miele or Asco dishwashers. Warming drawers, double ovens, vent hoods, extra beverage coolers, wet bars and ice makers are popular. The most popular trend is toward very large islands with seating and storage space.

Homes that have updated gourmet kitchens will be hot in 2022!

Fun Fact: What professional golfers are members of the TPC at Sugarloaf?

Answer: Sung-jae Im (ranked # 26), Stewart Cink (ranked #52), David Skinns (ranked #222), Seth Reeves (ranked #274) Information Confidential and Protected. Reproduction is Strictly Prohibited.

TREND #5: Entertainment Areas and Smart Homes. Where will family and friends enjoy game day or stream their favorite movie or TV series? It could be an awesome theater room, a more open space or multiple spaces including outdoor TVs. With the rise in crime, security is now a major consideration. Smart homes can incorporate everything from audio, video, internet, lights, heating & cooling, backup generators and security systems. The two most popular high-end systems are Crestron and Control4. These amazing systems allow you to control everything from an app on your phone and digital touch screen panels on the walls.

Homes that provide cool entertainment and smart home options will be hot in 2022!

Other Noteworthy Buyer Trends: Buyers clearly want homes that are updated and wellmaintained. Homes that are dated get lower prices and take longer to sell. Some International heritage Buyers want homes that are facing certain directions and/ or support feng shui energy flows. All Buyers prefer good natural light but not too much direct sunlight that fades flooring or furniture. All Buyers ask about the age and condition of roofs, HVAC systems and water heaters. Updates are very worthwhile in these areas. Due to the pandemic, better air filtration systems are preferred. We moved here almost 24 years ago as one of the early pioneers of the community. In that time, we have seen a lot of things change. Change presents opportunity and 2022 is going to be an exciting year. If you or someone you know are considering selling, contact us for a confidential discussion and to learn the secrets to attaining the highest value!
