Global Luxury Agent Market Perspective
Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists polled in a special Agent Vision Survey remain upbeat about the current luxury outlook as wealthy consumers continue to flex their spending power, prioritizing financial stability, long-term wealth growth, family, health and wellness.

More than half of the Global Luxury Property Specialists surveyed expect 2023 luxury home prices to remain flat or up slightly from 2022. Over half anticipate demand to remain consistent throughout 2023, while nearly 30{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} believe demand could be stronger by the end of the year.  Global Luxury Property Specialists transact in the top 10{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} of their respective markets.

Multiple Homes Are Mainstays for Americans in the U.S. and Abroad
The percentage of U.S.-based individuals with a net worth of $5 million or more who own two or more properties grew from 70{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} in 2021 to 79{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} in 2022, per Wealth-X. Data from Coldwell Banker’s fall 2022 Trend Report backs this claim: 72{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} of wealthy buyers noted that their future home purchase would be a second residence, vacation home or rental property.

Gen-X and millennials are leading the way with their desire to own multiple homes, seeking out hybrid properties as part-time getaways and rentals as part of their wealth building strategy.  The top five U.S. metropolitan areas driving secondary-home ownership among individuals with a net worth of $5 million or more, per Wealth-X are:

  • New York City
  • Silicon Valley
  • San Francisco
  • Los Angeles
  • Chicago

Wealthy U.S. individuals are not just looking domestically for properties either; the propensity to own a home abroad is on the rise thanks to the strength of the U.S. dollar and rising costs of U.S. living. According to Wealth-X, more than 64,000 overseas properties in 2022 were owned by U.S. consumers with $5 million or more in net worth, up 20{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} from 2021 and 115{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} over 2020. In Coldwell Banker’s new international survey, conducted by Censuswide, 91{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} of affluent Americans said they are most likely to own a home overseas.

Europe is a big draw for Americans, but emerging markets like Central America and Asia, particularly with younger affluent individuals, are increasingly popular locations.

Global Real Estate Influence
According to Credit Suisse, the number of global millionaires is at its highest point in history. By 2026, it is estimated that the number of millionaires worldwide will surge by 40{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96}, and one in seven adults will have a net worth of at least $1 million.

Major U.S. markets and traditional centers of wealth, like New York and Los Angeles, continue to be a major draw globally for affluent international buyers. Findings from the Coldwell Banker international survey also found that affluent buyers desire to live in locations that are architecturally and culturally diverse, like Chicago, and luxurious resort towns like Aspen.

New York is still the number one city globally for high-net-worth primary residents and secondary homeowners. Cities in Asia regained position in the top global cities with primary and secondary homeowners as borders reopened, with Singapore, Beijing and Guangzhou ranking in the top 10, according to Wealth-X.

Increased desire for travel, investment opportunities, growing popularity for dual citizenship / “Golden Visas,” and favorable tax laws are major factors that are driving the global affluent population to look abroad for their next home purchase.

“The List” – What Trends Are Driving the Luxury U.S. Consumer?
Property location, home condition and amenities are the highest priorities for the affluent when looking to purchase primary and secondary residences, according to Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists.

Global Luxury Property Specialists also find that a home with breathtaking views, quality of construction materials and privacy are the top three qualities that their clients look for when defining their dream home.

A have-it-all mentality could become a larger consideration in the high-end residential market this year as buyers flex their leverage and become more selective. Home design and style trends are also influencing factors; Global Luxury Property Specialists noted that open floor plans, bespoke architectural elements and neutral color palettes will have staying power among wealthy individuals.

Tech-friendly homes are also top-of-mind for affluent buyers, with home automation systems, energy efficient appliances and electric vehicle charging stations ranking as the top three most valuable tech amenities.

About The Report
Compiled from Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists’ agent vision survey, data from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Wealth-X, Credit Suisse and other third-party sources, The Report provides a comprehensive look at the opportunity markets for both buyers and sellers, multiple-homeownership in the U.S. and abroad and the influence of global real estate footprints.

Methodology
The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® program collaborated with the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Wealth-X and other third-party sources to analyze the data for the top 10{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} of 125 U.S. luxury metros. The data for this report is based on closed and recorded sides of homes sold during 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The statistical information has been calculated using closed sales activity reported over a 48-month period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022, as gathered from multiple sources including but not limited to various Multiple Listing Services, the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Coldwell Banker Real Estate, LLC, Coldwell Banker Independent Sales Associates, Brokers, Brokerages or Affiliates. Data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed for accuracy as it may not reflect all the real estate activity in the area.

The Opportunity Index: To determine the score for each type of opportunity, rankings are based on sales ratio for the last four months of 2022, sold price/list price{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} ratio (SP/LP{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96}) for the last four months of 2022 and inventory growth over the last four months of 2022 compared to the first eight months of 2022.The ranking for buyer and seller opportunities provided a score where the ceiling is 100. For sellers, scores were awarded for opportunity where the market shows that it still favors the seller as demand is higher than supply, and sold prices are at or close to asking. Also analyzed was whether there had been an increase in inventory, allowing sellers to purchase a new home. For buyers, scores were awarded for opportunity where the market shows that it favors buyers with higher supply than demand and sold prices are 5{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} to 10{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96} below asking. Additionally, markets were evaluated based on significant increases in inventory, giving buyers more listings to choose from.

Howard Head: Inside the former home of a ski, tennis inventor

Howard Head: Inside the former home of a ski, tennis inventor

Tucked away on one of Baltimore’s most elegant and private streets, you’ll find a stunning home — inside and out.

The property at 21 Blythewood Road is an English country style home, built in 1929, and features a unique history, beautiful outdoor amenities, and one-of-a-kind interiors. And for the first time in thirty years, the 1.9-acre property is up for sale.

The home was once owned by Howard Head, who worked as an aircraft engineer before founding the Head Ski Co. and developing aluminum laminated skis.

After selling the company, Head retired and began playing tennis as a hobby. He eventually bought the Prince Co. and invented the Prince oversized tennis racket, which revolutionized the sport.

While living here, Head meticulously redesigned the house and created one of the most beautiful private tennis courts in the country.

The home opens to a black-and-white checkered tile vestibule and a large foyer. An adjoining living room features a large fireplace, French doors and a wall of windows with sliding doors to a koi pond and bluestone patio.

A beautiful solarium, with glass walls and a greenhouse ceiling, is perfect for gardening and fills the space with natural light. The solarium opens to the traditional dining room, which features a marble fireplace, parquet wood flooring and significant millwork.

A custom, state-of-the-art kitchen contains sleek cabinetry, quartz and granite counters and a large, bright breakfast area.

The main level also includes a chestnut library with built-in shelving, a family room with vaulted, wood paneled ceilings, a wet bar and a powder room. Each room is filled with beautiful natural light and views of the stunning grounds.

The primary bedroom suite includes a wall of windows with sliding doors to a large balcony, an attached dressing room and an attractive double vanity bathroom with heated floors.

The backyard is perhaps my favorite part of the house. A stone patio and 11,000-gallon koi pond, unlike anything I’ve seen in Baltimore, is breathtaking.

Ornamental trees, floating steps and mini-waterfalls provide a tranquil space to relax and entertain.

Stone steps and extensive decking lead to a beautiful pool area with a hot tub and a custom teak bar.

The pool decking overlooks a competition-quality tennis court, specifically designed below grade to provide a natural wind barrier. There’s also foot paths, beautiful hardscaping and a secluded treehouse.

Beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens complete the property, which backs up to the wooded Stony Run Trail.

Your Next Home Design Upgrade? Toilets as Art

Your Next Home Design Upgrade? Toilets as Art

Normally, toilet decor goes like this: plush mats, upgraded taps, and marble counters. Rest room artwork, if one particular so chooses, sits earlier mentioned a bathroom, leaving the required appliance as just that–a want. For Kohler’s 150th anniversary, however, the organization is questioning this lengthy-time idea by offering a toilet product that is not just a humble need to have, but a standalone piece that commands admiration.

Named the “Numi 2.” the rest room design resembles a Tesla much more than it does a typical porcelain throne (and skyrockets to nearly $10,000). It is modern, outfitted with sharp, cubicle traces with a marginally reflective again-close that replaces the normally significant tank. But, you will find additional than just aesthetics that appear with this new product. It presents ambient coloured lighting, a constructed-in speaker styler, and an computerized open and close perform. In inside designer Allison Paladino‘s the latest Kips Bay Palm Beach front showroom presentation, the spaceship of a rest room included technological pomp to her if not serene primary bathroom.

kohler douglas friedman

For Kohler’s 150th anniversary, photographer Douglas Friedman shot the Numi 2.. design in Marfa, Texas.

Douglas Friedman

But, this product follows in the footsteps of Kohler’s lengthy legacy of turning the bathroom into what some people may well take into consideration a operate of art. To assistance with the launch, Kohler enlisted photographer Douglas Friedman to immortalize the toilet model in the same way as they did for their “Toilet in the Road” ad in 1981.

“I was intrigued by how the Numi seems to be like an art item. Its strange and placing and you really don’t know what it is at first. It’s a beautiful factor. The way the light hits it, the texture of the sort. It has movement and daily life,” Friedman tells Town & Country.

In the earlier ad, Kohler’s crimson San Raphael model sits in the middle of a barren highway in Marfa, Texas. Only a very long-winding vacant highway, idyllic mountains, and a trim design donning a reflective gown are depicted in the ad.
