Miami

A Waterfront Estate With a Storied History

Once primarily known as a beachy getaway, Miami has evolved over the past decades into ta global city with a thriving cultural scene. The population of the southern Florida city represents a diverse mix of backgrounds with a thriving real estate market thanks to feeder markets that span across the northern U.S. states to South America and Europe. 

Toronto

Developing the City of Tomorrow

The skyline of Toronto is a work in progress, an ever-changing panorama of emerging modern structures set within a glorious greenbelt on the shores of Lake Ontario. With a booming population, developers and real estate professionals must consider who they are building for today—and what the city will become. “Toronto’s one of the most diverse cities in the world,” says Mark Wadden, CEO and Co-Founder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Toronto Reality. “Real estate developers need to focus on what community means to Torontonians and how they can help current neighborhoods in the city evolve to house our residents.”

Park City

A Four-Season Mountain Retreat

“Park City may be known as a ski town, but it’s really a wonderful destination year-round,” shares Debbie Sexton of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties. “Because of that, the property market has really evolved over the past 10 years. We’re starting to see buyers stray from the more traditional ski-lodge type style. Contemporary homes are becoming more popular—especially with those buyers coming from California and the West Coast. Newer homes in the area are starting to reflect that, with more open concepts and amenities and layouts that function across seasons, not just for the ski-in and ski-out crowd.”

London

Private Refuge in the Heart of the City

“Lifestyle is a huge factor for luxury buyers in London. They want amenities and easy access to all that the city has to offer,” says Martin Bikhit, owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co. “The developers I work with understand this and are bringing properties to market that meet the needs of buyers who crave everything from green space to private parking to concierge services. For international buyers in particular, they want all of these things, but also homes that have historical significance. London is a one-of-a-kind city, and here you can truly buy a piece of history.”

Jacksonville

Custom Built for the Florida Lifestyle

“The luxury market in Jacksonville has something for everybody,” says Anita Vining, a top agent at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty. “There are many gated communities that offer golf course and country club access. But what really sets us apart are the variety of waterfront homes the city has to offer. Jacksonville sits on the St. John's River and we’re also close to the Atlantic coastline. You can be from center city to ‘toes in sand” in less than 30 minutes.”

Montecito

The Ultimate Coastal Retreat

“We found that a lot of people from the Midwest and the East Coast love coming out to Montecito and Santa Barbara,” says Cristal Clarke of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “It’s such a wonderful lifestyle, not only because of the warm weather but also because we have great cultural events. There’s the beautiful ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. It’s just a really amazing community, and people gravitate towards that. What initially is a second residence for buyers often turns into the main residence as the years go on.”

Las Vegas

Building a Desert Oasis

“Architecture, design and finishes are what people are looking for—that’s the big trend in Las Vegas right now,” says Ivan Sher of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties. “Over the past few years there’s been a new influx of custom home building. A lot of people are picking out lots and building architecturally relevant homes.” Thanks to this custom building boom, there’s more luxury inventory than ever before in the city. “In the past, only a few homes a year were listed for over $5 million or $10 million,” Sher says. “But now we’ve doubled and tripled those numbers.”

Atlanta

Southern Living Luxury

“The luxury market in Atlanta is full of opportunity right now,” says Bryan Schacht of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. “It’s really increased over the last few years, due largely to the entertainment industry moving into the area. We have direct flights out of Hartsville International Airport all over the country and all over the world. It’s a city that is easy to get to, and we’re seeing so much more high-end demand coming into not only Atlanta but also the metro area as well.”
