S t. P e t e r s b u r g Welcome to the “Sunshine City,” a perfect mix of vibrant culture, sports, dining, and shopping, all along the shores of some of the nation’s top-ranked beaches. St. Petersburg is proudly ranked as a top cultural destination among cities of its size.

St. Petersburg is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and offers opportunities to partner with small businesses, startups, and Fortune 500 companies. The city has support systems and structures in place to truly help businesses launch, sustain, and thrive.

In looking at the real estate market, we turn to Pinellas County, where St. Petersburg is located, to offer a bigger picture on the luxury market as a whole. South Pinellas County reports a median luxury price of $1,250,000 for single-family homes and $900,000 for attached properties. Luxury properties have recently been on the market for roughly 8-15 days and, on average, sell just below asking price.

The western coastal areas of Pinellas County, which stretch from Tierra Verde to Clearwater and Palm Harbor, offer the median luxury price of approximately $1,800,000 for single-family homes and $1,100,000 for condos. Luxury demand for these coastal properties is similar to South Pinellas County, with the recent average market time of 7-15 days, with homes selling at or near asking price.

Renowned museums, independent galleries, performing arts, film and music festivals, literary arts, a working artist community, and dazzling public art installations are all woven beautifully into the fabric of the city.

As the Guinness World Record holder for most consecutive days of sunshine (768 days!), St. Petersburg residents are treated to more than 1,000 annual special events and festivals that include the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, St. Anthony’s Triathlon, SHINE Mural Festival, Florida’s largest PRIDE celebration, and the country’s longest running parade honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 10 | THE RE /MA X COLLEC TION ®

RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES Living in the greater St. Petersburg area offers opportunities for downtown, waterfront, and suburban living.

Several neighborhoods are close to the action of bustling shops, culture, and great shopping. The Edge District offers these amenities and more, run by a non-profit group that aims to provide a vibrant and sustainable community. Roser Park, Old Northeast, and Historic Uptown are among the great options for living in the heart of the fun.

If a waterfront home is a must, look to Historic Old Northeast, Snell Isle, Riviera Bay, and Treasure Island. These affluent, family-friendly neighborhoods offer opportunities for newer and older historic properties with fantastic water views.

Is a home in a family-oriented community on a quiet, tree-lined street more desirable? Allendale Terrace and Woodlawn are great choices, as is Crescent Lake, which boasts a renowned 54-acre park and community lake that are an oasis for wildlife.

For those seeking true waterfront living right on the sandy shoreline, consider choosing an option a little further away along State Route 699. St. Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, Redington Shores, and Indian Rocks Beach have great waterfront properties with miles of western ocean views.

THINGS TO DO Need more enticement to call St. Petersburg home? These year-round activities are sure to keep your days packed with fun.

The Salvador Dali Museum hosts one of the largest collections of the surrealist master’s work and his entire career is represented here.

Day hikers, campers, and bird watchers will love Fort DeSoto Park, a 1,136-acre park on five different keys that is home to over 300 species of birds. Sand Key Park, Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, and Pinellas Trail are also great hiking and exploring options.

View natural beauty and wildlife at the Sunken Gardens, Weedon Island Preserve, and Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Dine on delicious fare at renowned seafood restaurants featuring fresh-caught fish, take a relaxing sip with friends at a cozy coffee bar or wine bar, or enter a great debate on the best beer at one of the many craft beer hot spots.

Come experience the fun-filled adventures of St. Petersburg!

Across all levels of the RE/MAX network, there’s a common understanding that businesses are only as healthy as their communities. That’s why RE/MAX agents have made a commitment to giving back through their longtime partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

RE/MAX has worked to help change kids’ health through their agents’ generous donations, creative fundraising events, volunteer programs at hospitals, and their unique Honor Card program. RE/MAX helps fund the care and treatment for millions of kids treated at 170 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada.

For nearly 30 years, RE/MAX agents and offices in the U.S. and Canada have raised more than $170 million for CMN Hospitals.

The RE/MAX Miracle Home and Miracle Property Program is unique to RE/MAX agents. Listing your home as a Miracle Home means that your RE/MAX agent will make a donation - on your behalf - to your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital after the transaction closes.

Dallas-Fort Worth Boasting the most populous metropolitan area in both Texas and the Southern United States, the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area encompasses 11 counties and is a world-class economic and cultural hub.

The economy, primarily based in banking, commerce, insurance, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, medical research, transportation, and logistics, is home to 22 Fortune 500 companies. Thanks to recent headquarters migrations of several industry titans over the last several years, the area is now the fourth largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the United States. This migration has also brought forth an increased demand for real estate from new and relocated talent, resulting in increased property values.

In Dallas, the median luxury prices are approximately $1,000,000 for single-family homes and $670,000 for attached properties. Homes sit on the market for roughly 10-20 days and, on average, sell at asking price.

In Fort Worth, the median luxury prices are approximately $800,000 for single-family homes and $500,000 for condos, though there is a much smaller market for attached properties here. Luxury Fort Worth demand is currently higher, with the average home sitting on the market less than 10 days and selling at asking price.

DFW is also home to the highest concentration of universities in Texas, and the UT Southwestern Medical Center was ranked number one among healthcare institutions in biomedical sciences.

What is attracting businesses and top talent to the area? The area’s bold reputation (where everything is bigger) is represented in everything from attractions to amenities and real estate.

Dallas is home to the largest contiguous urban arts district in the country, and with several notable museums, galleries, and theaters; there’s something to do around every corner. For longer outings, Dallas and Fort Worth are less than a half-day drive to Austin and Houston.

R e a l E s t a te d a t a p rov i d e d by T h e I n s t i t u te ’s L u x u r y M a r ke t R e p o r t.

THE CLIMATE DFW has a humid, subtropical climate that translates to mild winters and warmer summers. Snowfall is rare with annual totals averaging 2.6 inches a year. Mild spring and autumn months bring vibrant colors from flowers and changing leaves.

RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES With an area as massive as DFW, there are many unique and desirable areas and types of properties to call home.

For those who need to be close to the action, downtown Dallas and the surrounding area are a continuously growing and offer fine dining, luxurious shopping, nightlife, and urban green spaces. Dallas’ lower density living offers those who choose to live downtown a greater choice in the type of residence they choose, whether this means a chic condo or a single-family home.

Just outside the city, areas like Highland Park and University Park set the standard for luxury living. Heritage and tradition combine to offer a family-friendly neighborhood with a prestigious country club, charming parks, and top-rated amenities.

Further outside the cities (between Dallas and Fort Worth), areas like Flower Mound and Coppell offer the best of both worlds — country living, Grapevine Lake access, and a reasonable commute to downtown.

If an escape from the city is on the checklist, DFW offers several rural areas where owning a ranch property or simply having a bit more space for a true dream estate is possible in areas like Weatherford or Roanoke.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE DFW amenities range far and wide. Dallas’ notable Kalita Humphreys Theater offers dazzling performances and concerts and Fair Park showcases several sports facilities, fairgrounds, and the Dallas Zoo. Fort Worth’s stockyards is a national historic district for rodeos and western-themed festivals. Fort Worth is also home to The Texas Motor Speedway, one of the nation’s largest sports facilities.

Further outside of the city are several lakes that provide opportunities for water sports, boating, or enjoying a quiet day outdoors.

Whether you are looking for an investment, relocating for work, or searching for new opportunities, Dallas-Fort Worth offers a life worth living.

NORTH AMERICAN LUXURY REVIEW As we approach the winter season, when the nights grow longer and days cooler for the majority of North America, sales in the luxury real estate market typically start to slow down. Sales in the last four months of 2020 certainly proved to an exception to the rule, as they not only broke records over previous years’ numbers, but actually increased month over month.

Although, the last quarter of 2021 is not expected to provide such dramatic increases in sales as 2020, there is a new significant trend currently impacting the luxury market. Overall, the demand for luxury properties in North America is outpacing the supply of properties entering the market. This explains why inventory levels continue to decline in the luxury market.

Across the 116 markets showcased in October 2021’s luxury market report, the number of sold properties was 37% higher than the number of new listings for that month. In this month’s report, the difference is even higher at 55.5% more sales than new listings. To put that into context, in 2020 the number of properties entering the market in September was 9% higher than the number sold. October’s figures showed that although the number of listings entering the market had fallen, they were still slightly higher by 1% than the number of sold.

This does not mean that there is no inventory; there are properties still available from months where inventory did exceed demand, property types, location and price points are less desirable, as well as new construction homes and developments. But it does indicate that buyers need to recognize that finding their new home will still be challenging and that waiting may not pay off if they are looking for prices to fall.

The bigger question for this quarter is whether inventory levels will continue to decline? While we are approaching the typically quieter real estate months, buyers, keen to purchase, seem more than ready to compromise and revisit the priority of their requirements.

A turnkey property with modern features and amenities in the best location may be their goal, but as many of these new buyers are no longer looking for a vacation property but a co-primary residence, especially if they are able to work from home, they are willing to compromise. As many prices are currently at their highest levels, savvy buyers are reviewing both the future prospects of the destination as well as the resale value potential of the home.

38 | THE RE /MA X COLLEC TION ®

E xc e r p t f ro m T h e I n s t i t u te ’s L u x u r y M a r ke t R e p o r t

To this end, the choice of buying an older property that needs renovations is becoming one of more popular compromises. The ability to own two primary residences allows them the time and space in which to complete the renovations and add value to their property.

Not purchasing in the destination’s prime locations is another compromise, as these co-primary homeowners are typically looking for different features such as larger properties with more outdoor space. Being in heart of the busy downtown, positioned river or beachside or ski-in/out becomes less crucial when it’s no longer a vacation property but a true second primary home.

At the start of the pandemic, we saw numerous affluent homeowners escape the city for either destination locations or the exurbs. Working from home meant that location choices were not often based on commute times. For the most part those who are now choosing to move recognize that commuting is again an important factor and are looking for options that will allow them to work part-time in the city and the rest from home.

While some have chosen to purchase a pied-à-terre in the city to stay at for a few nights a week, others are not ready to split their time between city living and the family home. Real estate professionals are reporting a change in the desirability for ownership in suburban communities, especially those offering commute times under 1 hour, which are seeing increased demand.

Some of the affluent are selling their vacation properties, while they are in prime demand, and reinvesting in a home that is closer to the city and still provides the larger footprint, amenities, and outdoor space they have grown accustomed to. Others are keeping their city properties but buying in previously less desirable suburbs or properties that need renovations, with an eye on the investment opportunity of a property with an easy commute.

Revitalization of communities, especially older neighborhoods in both primary and secondary markets, is predicted to be a great opportunity for investors this winter. The increasing number of new affluent entering the market has created a record-high demand for builds offering smart-home and high-tech features with luxury finishes. This demand is also in direct correlation to the increasing number of younger affluent buyers, many of whom are working in the technology sector and have relocated to markets that offer an array of employment options.

In their move to more affordable hubs in locations such as Austin, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Detroit, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh, tech companies have created large relocation problems, and demand for real estate is driving prices up as inventory levels continue to drop. Many of these technology experts who are moving from more expensive markets, like Silicon Valley, with an expectation of affording a higher quality home. Buyers who are not ready to compromise are more than willing to outbid their competitors.

The art of selling and buying in this market needs a critical and analytical approach, understanding the realities and setting expectations accordingly will ensure that goals are achieved. For homeowners looking to buy or sell in today’s market, we recommend working with a Realtor who can capitalize on the preferences, trends, and demands in this dynamic and evolving environment.

Va n c o u v e r Postcard perfect views, mild climate, and friendly people describe quintessential Vancouver living. The largest city in British Columbia has become globally recognized as one of the most desirable places to live, particularly over the last 20 years, and as a result has seen its real estate market grow in size and variety as well as significantly appreciate in value. Internationally, it is known as a popular tourist attraction and as a community that embraces the outdoor lifestyle. Vancouver is also a seaport city, a central hub for distributing all imports and exports as the west coast’s gateway to the East.

The luxury market in Vancouver currently favors sellers, although with prices still increasing it offers a great investment opportunity. The median sales price for a luxury single-family home in Vancouver is $3,200,000.

The median condo price in Vancouver is $1,700,000. Luxury homes in this market are typically on the market for approximately 10-15 days and see an average of 97-99% of their asking price, meaning that demand is high and sellers are pricing their homes close to current property values.

Today, Vancouver provides its residents with a rich and diverse cultural experience, as due to its global popularity it has become one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada with 52 percent of the population speaking a first language other than English.

Finding ways to spend your time in Vancouver is easy. Explore the natural landscape at Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Granville Island, Capilano Suspension Bridge, or VanDusen Botanical Garden. There is also the Vancouver Aquarium, Science World, and a number of other museums for the inquisitive. For those looking for more sporty adventures, a plethora of trails for casual, road, and mountain biking abound throughout the city and its surrounding mountains. In the winter the same mountains offer a choice of three ski resorts, and it’s also possible to golf, play tennis, and sail for most of the year. Vancouver’s West End provides world-class shopping, dining, upscale bars, music and sporting events.

THE CLIMATE Vancouver enjoys a moderate, oceanic climate. Protected by the mountains and warmed by the Pacific ocean currents, Vancouver is one of the warmest cities in Canada. The city is known for embracing all four seasons, from chilly winter snow scenes, pleasant and stunning spring blossoms, warm summers offering incredible sunsets, and in the fall, while there also might be many rainy days, there is always an array of glorious colours in its autumnal leaves.

THE NEIGHBORHOODS Vancouver has nearly 30 distinct neighborhoods that each offer a unique experience. For those wanting the closest access to fine dining and nightlife, look to the West End in areas such as Downtown, Coal Harbour and Yaletown, where high-rise residential towers dominate the landscape. Yaletown, which used to be a rail yard in the 19th century, is now home to many high-end warehouse/loft conversions, upscale restaurants, and provides easy access to the False Creek Marina.

Fairview, Kerrisale, and Riley Park are all home to shopping districts.

Riley Park in particular is home to many of the city’s antique shops.

Mount Pleasant offers a taste of the eclectic with heritage buildings, artistic residences, and art festivals.

Lined with Vancouver’s most famous beaches, Kitsilano is home to great downtown and North Shore mountain views. Kitsilano is also a hub of activity during the summer with organic markets and Vancouver’s Greektown.

For the truly discerning, Shaugnessy and British Properties offer stunning heritage homes from the first half of the 20th century.

Those looking for tree-lined streets and large lot sizes should look into Arbutus Ridge in Vanvouver’s west side or one of the many neighborhoods along the North Shore.

COMMITMENT TO WELLNESS Vancouver is one of the healthiest cities in North America. With access to a plethora of outdoor activities, a rich network of dedicated bike lanes for commuters, and new high-rises offering residents gyms, yoga studios, pools, and more, prioritizing health is easy here.

DINING Vancouver is perennially voted as one of the best dining cities in North America, earning dozens of accolades for its quality, world-class chefs, and wide selection. Formal or informal, there is a table to match everyone’s preferences and tastes.
