$61 Billion in 2016 Real Estate Closings Across 8 Northern California Counties

0
0

SARATOGA, CA – At the close of 2016, Northern California again demonstrated the power of its economic engine by closing out a strong real estate market. In the eight counties where Alain Pinel Realtors operates, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma and Monterey, closed residential real estate transactions for the region accounted for nearly $61.7 billion; a slight decrease from 2015 of approximately $100 million.

“We had an exceptionally strong year in 2015, followed by a normalization of the real estate market in 2016,” said David Bellamy, chief financial officer of APR. “What we’re seeing in current market trends is a stabilizing of the market following years of unprecedented growth, largely driven by the Bay Area’s tech and business innovation boom, and the state’s job growth which is nearly double the U.S. national average.”

At the close of 2016, the average home price across all eight Northern California counties where APR operates was about $973,000, with an average of 40 days on market for most listings.

According to Bellamy, Northern California’s strong economic engine and job growth, coupled with relatively low interest rates, were also contributing factors to recent area market trends. However, Bellamy cautions that the same factors that led to the boom might also contribute to challenges in 2017, such as continued reliance on growth in the region’s tech sector and affordability in key markets.

Across all of the eight counties in which APR operates, the number of housing units closed in 2016 was down, except in Monterey County where a slight increase in the number of units sold was noted compared to 2015. Several factors account for the decline, according to Bellamy, including reduced inventory during much of the year, consumer concerns regarding longer-term economic policy during the U.S. presidential election cycle, rising listing prices and general concerns regarding the global economy.

However, despite a smaller number of closings in 2016, on average, those dollar transactions were mostly above 2015 comparables. Two of Northern California’s hottest markets, Marin and San Francisco counties were the exception, having to compete with double digit growth in years prior.

“We’re in a bifurcated market now,” said Bellamy. “At the lower end of the market, there is huge demand while coping with reduced inventory, both of which will contribute to a steady rise in prices and, therefore, affordability concerns. At the upper end of the market, buying and selling is more discretionary. Buyers are starting to be more patient, and sellers are holding out for ideal, perhaps overly optimistic, sales scenarios.”

However, Bellamy predicted continued growth of Northern California’s luxury home market in 2017, albeit at a more modest pace than in years past. He added that the higher end of the market is still primed for multiple offers, but likely in fewer numbers than most real estate professionals in Northern California have become accustom.

Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan and Kirk Henckels of Stribling & Associates Quoted in Forbes on The Future of Co-Ops

0

NEW YORK CITY, NY - Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan and Kirk Henckels of Stribling & Associates were quoted in a Forbes article titled Why Co-Ops May Be A Thing Of The Past. The article starts,

In New York, the co-op has long epitomized some of the most coveted addresses in the world. Park Avenue, Central Park West and Fifth Avenue are brimming with cooperatives that hark back to a bygone era in Manhattan, where prospective owners had to pass notoriously difficult boards, meet rigorous income standards, and abide by stringent “house rules” when it came to renovations and resale. Co-ops generally reject purchasing in anonymous LLCs and make it nearly impossible for foreign buyers to purchase.

The strict nature of co-ops, coupled with a surge in shiny, modern new development condominiums across the city, is leading to a dramatic drop in co-op sales. In fact, Stribling and Associates, a leading residential brokerage firm in NYC, found that co-op sales priced $5 million and up fell nearly 20% in 2016 from the year prior. In the super-luxury category – co-ops priced $20 million and up – sales declined 25% YOY despite the fact that co-ops comprise 70% of Manhattan's owned housing units.

“We are seeing a great shift in what home buyers want. Condos allow for a more immediate buying process, and many of these ground-up new developments and conversions are full-service buildings with elaborate gyms, high-tech amenities, and on-site daycare and spa services. Co-ops are finding it harder and harder to compete,” said Kirk Henckels, vice chairman and director of Stribling Private Brokerage, the luxury division of Stribling and Associates.

Henckels has been tracking co-op and condo data for more than two decades, and says that while the pendulum has swung in favor of the ubiquitous condominium, co-ops still offer incredible value to those willing to navigate NYC’s real estate jungle.

“The fact that co-ops have been falling out of favor, in the last three years especially, means that there are incredible deals for qualified buyers with patience,” added Henckels. “Of course, it helps to have a knowledgeable broker who knows their way around different co-op boards and can help to build a strong board package. That’s half the battle.”

According to Elizabeth Ann Stribling-Kivlan, president of Stribling and Associates: “On average Co-ops are a more affordable option than their newer condo counterparts. The path to buying in a co-op building can be more arduous, but the value might be worth the wait if buyers are willing to make a commitment. Don’t forget, co-ops still account for some of New York’s most prized real estate, and that’s still very meaningful as a long-term investment.”

But what about Stribling’s new data that shows such sharp sales declines in co-op buildings? For example, there were just 24 co-op sales priced at $5 million and higher on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 2016 compared with 47 in 2014 – that’s more than a 50% landslide in just two years. Does this not show that people are simply refusing to deal with co-ops, the troubling board process, and the lack of amenities at the older buildings, even considering the fancy zip codes?

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty Closes Highest Residential Sale in the Vail Valley at $23 Million

0

DENVER, CO - Providing the perfect setting for outdoor enthusiasts seeking an active, resort lifestyle, Vail, Colorado, has long set the bar for luxury living at its finest. That bar has just been raised with the recent sale of 107 Rockledge Road, an 11,509 square foot ski-in, ski-out residence that has set a record high for the sale of a single-family home in the Vail Valley at $23M.

“The sale of this historic modern home located directly on Vail Mountain represents the most significant sales in Vail’s storied history of magnificent homes,” said LIV Sotheby's International Realty buyer’s agent, Tye Stockton. “The new owners made the lifestyle choice to relocate to Vail full time and to take advantage of all of the healthy outdoor options Colorado and the Vail Valley have to offer.”

The property at 107 Rockledge Rd., was once home to Denver socialites, Vernon 'Moose' Taylor and his wife Ann Bonfoey Taylor, known for putting Vail on the map as the iconic, world-renowned Colorado resort town it is today. The couple was known for hosting royalty at their home and as one of Vail's original investors.

The estate, which was originally built by the Taylor’s in 1962, was completely re-constructed from the ground up, preserving only the main hallway. The residence’s charm is preserved with the properties’ iconic and panoramic views- which have remained unchanged since the time the Taylor’s owned it.

Today, the residence features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and was featured as Mountain Living’s Home of the Year in 2010. The interior design of the home features a mountain-contemporary style that was designed by, Cindy Rinfret, of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Rinfret, Ltd. interior designs. The home was built by Schaeffer Hyde Construction, and the architectural plans of the modernized estate were written by Kyle Webb of K.H. Webb Architects in Vail. The re-modeled residence consists of a mix of rustic luxury and mountain-modern style, a design that was the first of its kind in Vail.

Tye Stockton, a top producing agent within the LIV Sotheby’s International Realty network, brought the buyer to the sale, which brings Stockton’s combined sales volume to nearly 1 billion in career sales. Stockton ranks #126 in the REAL Trends Inc. & The Wall Street Journal’s The Thousand list of America’s top 200 real estate professionals for 2016, and has been servicing the Vail Valley in real estate since 2005.

“With so many buyers looking for clean, uncluttered homes, mountain modern has become the most requested style for today’s home buyers in the Vail Valley,” said Stockton. “Incorporating materials indigenous to Colorado like natural stone, reclaimed wood and steel, these homes exude a warmth found in more traditional homes, but featuring the clean lines and large format windows that capture the beauty of the Colorado outdoor scenery. This trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future as designers continue to evolve and incorporate new materials and features into homes. The increased trend of smart homes is also prevalent and increasing in popularity.”

No stranger to representing the highest caliber of luxury properties, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty’s Tye Stockton of, The Stockton Group, and Nancy and Fred Wolfe of, The Wolfe Group, are also credited for representing Vernon and Ann Taylor’s Denver residence, which during its time on-market was valued at $22M- the highest priced residence then listed in metro-Denver.
