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 sustainability into a way of life that reflects your inner world. 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 variations 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. By focussing my business on the unique needs of buyers, I aim to raise expectations and satisfaction levels, in turn, creating 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! Should you require assistance with international acquisitions and travel, I will use my Travel Consultant expertise to transform your home search into the adventure of a lifetime.

Your castle awaits!

Warmly,

Wendy

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. 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 Buying a home is an Escalator to Wealth David Bach, author of “The Automatic Millionaire” that spent 31 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, states on his website “The fact is, you aren’t really in the game of building wealth until you own some real estate.”

This advice from a well-respected millionaire has been a commonly held belief for decades though the reason for sharing this advice now is because there seems to be a growing slowdown in the demand for luxury homes, which is having people question the value of homeownership.

As demand decreases, this is putting pressure on the value of homes. For the 4th consecutive month, there has been a decline in the average sales price of detached homes throughout North America. Certainly these shifts are not dramatic, but with speculation of a slowing global economy, there will be even more stresses on the upper-tier market.

Bach further states in his book that “buying a home is an escalator to wealth.” How is this possible in a slowing market?

The answer lies in understanding the niches of opportunity that exist within the market at any time. In this month’s report, we investigate some of the niches that are currently in favor with real estate investors.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the traditional market is seeing an increase in demand. Their recent report indicates that there are more interested buyers than active sellers, meaning that inventory may be increasing but there is still a shortage of supply. In most cases, the increase in demand ultimately drives home prices higher.

The decrease in demand for luxury homes coupled with the increase for traditional homes creates opportunity in the niche market between these two price points. Homeowners from the traditional

market now have the ability to move into the home of their dreams with prices no longer ouside their reach.

Increasing taxes in major cities are also an added burden for those looking to purchase a luxury home. However, following the trend of owning in a state-of-the-art, amenity driven building or complex or a home with smart, space-saving architecture, translates into a savvy buyer purchashing a smaller contemporary living space at a lower price.

Choosing to live in this niche helps avoid the heavy taxes of the very high-end price point. But more importantly, it affords a lifestyle that offers luxury amenities, easy access to travel, and time to relax or partake in a favorite adventure or activity. As well as the opportunity of owning multiple homes – in other parts of the country or abroad.

Another niche experiencing growth are the luxury markets in locations outside the major metropolitan areas such as Sacramento, Boise, Colorado Springs, and Spokane, but close enough to travel to a metropolis, if and when necessary. This growth is being driven by those who can telecommute and seeking more affordable markets to maximize the value of their money.

Also increasing in popularity are towns that are in the midst of revitalization – often home to cottage industries and entrepreneurial online businesses that actually benefit from being positioned as a drivable distance from an expensive city. A major draw for these towns is the sense of community, safety, and enjoyment of a slower-paced lifestyle.

On the opposite spectrum, is the niche market of high-end developments within larger and emerging cities that are attracting luxury investors.

Immediately recognizable in this niche are the redevelopment of industrial, dockyards, and warehouse locations that developers are redesigning or gentrifying. San Francisco is truly representative of this movement with 7 sections of their city seeing a blend of luxury apartments to low rental units, commercial space, parks, and restaurants. These developments are attracting many young, wealthy homeowners who want buy turnkey residences.

Developers who build with an eye towards environmental responsibility have been rewarded with high demand. Buyers are paying top dollar for properties that properly utilize green building technology and carbon neutral energy programs, incorporating outdoor elements within the design, and implementing cleaner air systems and paint.

Many developers and architects are not seeing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design - the gold standard of environmentally conscious and energy efficient design) as a plateau to reach. Instead, it is their starting off point for a new way of thinking as well as making economic sense for future generations.

Developers have also recognize the opportunity that lies in the decline of demand for mega mansions.

10-20,000 square foot homes are struggling to maintain their huge price tickets especially as many need a huge investment in renovations to bring them up to modern standards. But in locations such as Vancouver, BC developers are keeping these homes’ beautiful facades while sub-dividing and modernizing their interiors in to luxurious 2-3 bedroom apartments.

The most lucrative real estate niches largely depend on market trends and shifting buying interests, but some are long time money makers.

For homeowners looking to sell their luxury home in today’s market, we recommend working with a Realtor who can capitalize on the preferences of current investors. By carefully focusing on the lifestyle-specific niche your property offers, in line with trends, it can be marketed effectively to connect with the right potential buyers.
