Together, they unpack the demographic and policy shifts reshaping life in the Northeast.

Connecticut’s senior population is projected to grow by 57% by 2040, creating both opportunity and strain. Rising taxes, high living costs, shrinking housing inventory, and healthcare system pressures are driving retirees to make tough choices: relocate to Florida, Arizona, or the Carolinas—or downsize locally.

The conversation dives deep into how policy, healthcare closures, and private equity trends will impact communities, real-estate markets, and the future of care. For anyone invested in housing, healthcare, or public policy, this episode reveals what’s coming next in our aging society.

In this episode, Roberto broadcasts on location from Saint Barthélemy (St. Barths) with guest Douglas Foregger of WIMCO Real Estate to unpack what makes this French Caribbean island a perennial draw for travelers, buyers, and investors. We go beyond the postcards—talking how people really live and invest on St. Barths, what the island feels like across seasons, and how beaches like Gouverneur and Saline differ from the lively scene around Gustavia and St-Jean. From travel logistics (ferry vs. puddle jumpers and that wild short-runway approach) to beach clubs and day-to-day rhythms, Roberto and Doug paint a practical picture of island life drawn straight from the ground.

For those eyeing property or a long stay, Doug and Roberto discuss villa rentals and seasonality (e.g., low season options around the $5k/week mark and December weeks often around $15k/week, with two-week minimums over Christmas/New Year’s), plus the realities of permitting and building on a mountainous, highly regulated island. They touch on construction budgets and how indoor square footage understates the cost of generous outdoor living areas; Doug notes that serious builds can reach the four- to low-seven-figure range and that locals often prefer purchasing land with a permit in hand to avoid uncertainty. If you’re weighing when to go, where to stay, or whether to buy, this is your field guide to St. Barths—equal parts lifestyle and hard-nosed real estate.

We cover the policy backbone in California (why the state guarantees approval of at least one 800-sq-ft ADU with 4-ft side/rear setbacks, regardless of lot coverage and FAR), how owner-occupancy rules were removed statewide (and what that means for financing and operations), and the new opt-in pathway for separate ADU sales via condominium maps—plus where local adoption is actually happening.

From there, the panel gets practical: designing within 800 sq ft without feeling cramped (programming, daylighting, storage, and outdoor “rooms”); factory-built and panelized options to compress schedule and control cost; budget ranges and the line items that bust them (sitework, utilities, access, and permitting); and use cases—from multigenerational housing and caregiver suites to rental income and neighborhood infill. We also scan how other states are following California’s lead, where the bottlenecks still are (parking, height, and discretionary review), and how to position an ADU for long-term value instead of just short-term rent.

The conversation unpacks the key takeaways:

  • Median PPSF rose 2.7% QoQ (but dipped 0.5% YoY), signaling demand for certain high-quality developments despite mixed economic signals.

  • Median sales price climbed 1.9% QoQ and 7.8% YoY, underscoring sustained appetite for premium product.

  • Sponsor sales fell 29.3% and total sales volume dropped 38.9%—indicating a cooling in transaction velocity, even as pricing holds.

  • The Upper West Side captured 20.14% of all new development sales, while Midtown East surged in PPSF and pricing, and the Upper East Side saw notable softening.

  • A headline transaction: a Central Park Tower residence closed at $18M ($5,374 PPSF), reinforcing the continued strength of Manhattan’s luxury tier.

Stephen and Jason go beyond the numbers—exploring what these shifts mean for developers, investors, and end users in 2024, and how the pipeline of new product could reshape Manhattan’s skyline.

The conversation dives into the key challenges and solutions facing property owners today:

  • 🏖️ Coastal coverage: From the Hamptons and Nantucket to Palm Beach and Hilton Head, what are the current realities of insuring properties in high-risk flood and hurricane zones? How do NFIP and private flood insurance compare, and what’s new in the reinsurance markets?

  • 📈 Premium trends: Why are premiums climbing so quickly, and what can property owners do to mitigate the impact? Chris and Nick explain how insurers price risk differently for high-net-worth coastal estates vs. primary homes inland.

  • 🔍 Policy details that matter: Deductibles, exclusions, and excess liability coverage—how to read your policy like a pro and avoid costly surprises when you need it most.

  • 🌊 Evolving landscape: How climate modeling, state regulations, and carrier exits are reshaping availability of coverage, and what smart homeowners and investors should be doing now to prepare.

  • 🛡️ Protecting portfolios: For multi-property owners and investors, strategies for aligning insurance with long-term investment goals and market shifts.

If you own property in coastal or high-risk regions, or advise clients who do, this episode is packed with practical guidance and insider knowledge to help you navigate today’s turbulent insurance waters.

Part 1 – What Makes NOVA Unique

The conversation opens with an economic overview, where Laura and Shari describe how Northern Virginia has diversified far beyond the federal government. They highlight the influx of tech companies, data centers, and Fortune 500 headquarters that fuel job growth and anchor the market’s stability.

Part 2 – Neighborhood Spotlight

Next, the panel breaks down NOVA neighborhood by neighborhood.

The team emphasizes how buyers balance commute, schools, and lifestyle when choosing a community.

Part 3 – Lifestyle and Hidden Gems

The discussion shifts to quality of life. Beyond politics, NOVA boasts wineries, horse country, riverside living, and access to beaches. Shari points out how equestrian properties and estates attract high-net-worth buyers looking for both prestige and privacy.

Part 4 – Wealth and Market Metrics

John and Roberto note that three of the top 25 wealthiest U.S. counties are in Northern Virginia, making it one of the richest regions in the nation. The panel discusses price trends, demand drivers, and inventory—explaining why NOVA continues to outperform even during national slowdowns.

Part 5 – Forecast for 2024

The episode closes with market predictions. Laura and Shari share where they see opportunities for both domestic and international buyers, how interest rates and global capital flows might affect NOVA, and why this market remains resilient in the face of uncertainty.

Season 4 kicks off in New Canaan, CT. John Engel and Roberto Cabrera sit down with Jacqueline deMontravel (editor/publisher of New Canaan Living & Darien Living) and Christa Kenin (Douglas Elliman) to unpack what makes New Canaan special—its walkable downtown, top-performing schools, parks, and a lifestyle that blends small-town connection with a New York-caliber dining/shopping scene.

What’s in this episode (from the transcript)

  • Opening & Introductions — Sponsor shout, then guest intros: Jacqueline (magazine editor/publisher) and Christa (NY attorney turned CT agent).

  • What sets New Canaan apart — Elm Street’s walkable village vibe, Waveny Park, and easy access to Long Island Sound come up early as core lifestyle draws.

  • Schools as a primary mover — The panel discusses why families target New Canaan for its consistently top-ranked schools and how that shapes demand.

  • How buyers choose between towns — Practical comparisons with Darien, Westport, Ridgefield, and Greenwich; think “mini-Madison Avenue” retail feel vs. yard size, commute, and budget.

  • Community texture — A downtown where you see neighbors daily; kids walk from school into town.

  • Local flavor — Shout-outs to favorite downtown restaurants (e.g., Farmer’s Table) and why the food scene punches above its weight.

  • Rowayton vs. New Canaan — The decompressing “off-the-train” coastal feel of Rowayton contrasted with New Canaan’s village rhythm.

  • Looking ahead — “Crystal-ball” close: more great restaurants and amenities while preserving historic character.

    Episode Overview (from transcript & fact sheet)

    In this episode, John Engel and Roberto Cabrera dive into the specialized world of sports and entertainment relocation — where high-profile athletes and celebrities face unique real estate needs.

    Guests:

    • Lynne Mazin (Douglas Elliman) – JD/MBA background, luxury broker specializing in high-value deals requiring confidentiality.

    • Justen Alias (Nexus Sports Relocation) – Focuses on relocation services for athletes/entertainers, blending real estate with insurance and concierge solutions.

    Key Takeaways

    • Privacy & Discretion High-profile clients expect agents to operate with airtight confidentiality, often dealing with off-market properties and NDAs.

    • Luxury Market Expertise These deals focus on trophy assets: penthouses, gated estates, waterfront compounds, and exclusive enclaves in NYC, Miami, LA, and abroad.

    • Security & Lifestyle Fit Beyond luxury, properties must meet security requirements and align with lifestyle needs—training facilities, easy access to stadiums, or international travel hubs.

    • Relocation as Full Service Successful agents provide concierge-style relocation: handling moving logistics, school searches, insurance, staff, and community integration.

    • Global Reach With careers spanning continents, these clients demand agents who can navigate international transactions and build bridges between markets.

    Episode Overview

    As Oscar Wilde quipped, “When good Americans die, they go to Paris.” But today, Americans aren’t waiting for the afterlife—they’re investing now. In this episode, John Engel and Roberto Cabrera are joined by:

    • Alison Ashby — Managing Director at Junot Fine Properties, a Knight Frank affiliate, fluent in French and German, and a specialist in international buyers

    • Roddy Aris — Partner at Knight Frank, overseeing Paris and the French Alpine market, from the 3 Valleys to Chamonix

    Together, they unpack the realities of the French property market and why Paris continues to enchant investors, expats, and lifestyle buyers alike.

    Key Themes 

    1. Size Matters Despite its global allure, the French real estate market is smaller and less liquid than many expect. That scale has implications for both opportunity and stability.

    2. An Opaque Industry With no central MLS, limited public listings, and ads without addresses, Paris real estate requires insider knowledge. Alison and Roddy stress why choosing the right broker is critical.

    3. Financing Challenges France offers historically low rates (around 4%), but lending criteria can be stringent for Americans. Buyers need patience, strong documentation, and often local expertise to close.

    4. French Castles & Châteaux Demand for historic castles has dipped by about 8%, even as broader French property values rise by 6% annually. It’s a niche market, increasingly driven by passion buyers.

    5. New Construction Unlike London or New York, Paris produces little new development. One example: the transformation of a Renault garage into luxury housing, illustrating adaptive reuse.

    6. The Romance of Paris Beyond numbers, the discussion keeps returning to Paris’s cultural gravity: its architecture, lifestyle, and enduring magnetism for international buyers.

    Join us for Episode 109 as we delve into the ongoing debate surrounding design-build, a comprehensive approach where a single team manages both the design and construction phases of a project. This all-encompassing strategy, embodied by experts such as Mimi and Hill and Brinton Brosius, Inc., offers unique benefits and challenges worth exploring.

    Mimi and Hill, led by the dynamic duo of Hillary Kaplan and MiriamSilver Verga, epitomize the design-build ethos by crafting authentic, personalized spaces through a blend of fashion and interior design. Their skilled team carefully curates every aspect, from vintage pieces to custom artisanal creations, ensuring homes mirror their owners' individuality.

    Brinton Brosius, Inc., another distinguished design-build firm, has built a sterling reputation for delivering exceptional craftsmanship and service throughout North and Central New Jersey. Their comprehensive team, comprising Project Managers, a Director of Operations, carpenters, and administrative staff, excels in renovations, restorations, and new construction, focusing on quality and timely completion.

    On the other side, we have Scott Hobbs, a renowned custom builder who champions the traditional project delivery approach. In this method, clients have the autonomy to select their designer and contractor separately, fostering a dynamic interplay between the two parties.

    In this comprehensive episode, we'll scrutinize the pros and cons of design-build versus traditional project delivery. The design-build model offers streamlined communication, simplified project management, and potential cost savings, yet some may argue it limits competitive bidding. Conversely, traditional project delivery provides greater flexibility in selecting designers and contractors, but it may lead to adversarial relationships and increased complexity in managing separate contracts.

    Our expert panel will unravel the intricacies of these approaches, equipping you with the knowledge needed to embark on your next project with confidence. Tune in to discover the right path for your unique construction endeavor!

    Join us for an eye-opening journey to the enchanting realm of Costa Rica in Episode 108 of "Boroughs & Burbs." Discover the thriving real estate market and the captivating allure of Tamarindo, where ocean views, luxury rentals, and abundant opportunities await. Our special guests, seasoned experts Brian Bratton and Robert Davey, will unveil the secrets of this tropical paradise. 

     In 2022, Costa Rica welcomed a staggering 2.3 million tourists, with the United States leading the charge, issuing 1.2 million visitor visas. This remarkable surge, a 70% increase from 2021, reflects the country's magnetic appeal. Costa Rica's Tourism Institute (ICT) anticipates a staggering 3.8 million tourists by 2027, generating an estimated $4.9 billion USD. 

     Despite the burgeoning demand, Costa Ballena's real estate supply remains limited. The pursuit of affordable ocean-view properties is driving interest further south, making areas like Tres Rios, Lagunas, and Hatillo hotspots for growth in 2023. 

     This episode delves into the shift towards younger families investing in Costa Rica's real estate market, accelerated by the post-COVID world. The average age of foreigners residing in Costa Rica has dropped, with a surge in younger buyers seeking family-oriented amenities and properties suited for permanent living with middle-income considerations. 

     While traditional real estate hotspots like Tamarindo and Flamingo in Guanacaste, as well as Escazú and Santa Ana in the Central Valley, continue to thrive, new expat-friendly destinations are emerging in the Southern Pacific region, including Dominical, Ojochal, and the Osa Peninsula.

    🏠 Did you know that realtors in Sydney earn a salary, setting a unique precedent in the real estate world?

    This week on the show we have Peter Barhydt, editor in chief of the Greenwich Sentinel, the local newspaper for Greenwich, Connecticut and Mark Pruner, author of the Sentinel’s wildly successful real estate column and real estate reports.

     Wait, did he say newspaper? I thought newspapers were a thing of the past. Apparently not in Greenwich, Connecticut.  This exclusive community of 63,000 (including 800 licensed real estate agents) loves loves loves their weekly newspaper. With a paid print subscription of over 6,000 Greenwich homes and businesses and digital distribution to over 20,000 more the Greenwich Sentinel reaches more Greenwich residents than any other local news. Why is it so successful? What is the appeal? We’re going to get into the role of the small-town newspaper in today’s market, and specifically how it has changed in the last few years. Is real estate advertising and information moving online or are we rediscovering the role of classic journalism and long-form reporting? What is the role of print, and why is a newspaper still relevant to realtors and their clients in today’s high-tech world?

     And, since this is a podcast that revolves around real-estate we have to talk to Mark Pruner. His column on real estate is #1 in the Greenwich Sentinel and includes all of the market report charts and graphs we need and his insightful analysis to make sense of them. His open house list is essential for both agents and clients to plan their weekends and keep up to date with the market. His blog GreenwichStreets.com has almost 10 years of monthly reports on the Greenwich market. It often comes up first in Google searches for Greenwich real estate information. We are going to explore how these pieces work together, and how Mark’s column, blog and reports contribute to his reputation as a realtor, an influencer, and marketer in one of America’s most hotly contested luxury real estate markets.

    The news is full of contradictions. We hear talk of an inflationary bubble and runaway housing costs are met with Fed tightening and the end of the stimulus. A record number of Millennials are starting families, experiencing record low unemployment and rising wages. And yet those wages aren't keeping pace with record inflation. Add to this supply chain problems, a lack of affordable housing, bank tightening and rising commodity prices seem to add a level of uncertainty not seen in our lifetime. This week we want to talk economics. We are trying to separate the signal from the noise. Our guest is a man who has been studying housing prices since founding his firm in 1986. We'll ask Jonathan which of those headlines matter most to the real estate market, and which we can safely ignore.

    The greater Washington D.C. real estate market encompasses a wide range of communities, including Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda, Silver Spring, and those along the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay waterfront. As the 6th largest real estate market in the United States, it offers diverse opportunities for residents and investors alike. 

    Impressive growth has been a hallmark of this region over the past decade. Median home prices have soared by approximately 40%, surpassing the national average. In 2021, Arlington's median home price exceeded $800,000, indicating a robust high-end segment. Population growth has also been remarkable, with the Greater Washington D.C. area adding over 500,000 residents in the past ten years.

    One of the driving forces behind the market's success is the influx of major corporations. The region has attracted influential Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Capital One Financial, and Marriott International. These industry leaders have established their headquarters in the area, fostering a thriving job market and driving housing demand.

    To gain a comprehensive understanding of this thriving market, join us this Thursday for a special episode of the Boroughs & Burbs podcast. We are thrilled to have Ruth Boyer O'Dea, who oversees the region for Douglas Elliman, as our guest. With her extensive expertise and insights, we will delve into the market's trends, opportunities, and unique characteristics. #realestate #metrodcrealestate

    Join us on a tour of the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, known for its midcentury modern style, an abundance of iconic midcentury modern homes by renowned architects such as Richard Neutra, A. Quincy Jones, and Charles Eames. The open floor plans, large windows, clean lines, and integration with nature that characterize midcentury modern design are prevalent throughout Brentwood. This Thursday top Brentwood realtor Sheila D.

    If you only read one business book this year, make it "Never Split the Difference"  because it will change your life.  It changed mine, and it changed the life of Steve Shull, a Superbowl champion who became a massively successful realtor and real estate coach. Steve took the principals in that groundbreaking book and applied them to the real estate industry in the new book, "The Full Fee Agent", a radical new approach that will free you from the old way of doing things and make more money.  Steve says when he read this book "I literally had to throw everything out. I was the guy who was trying to get emotion out of the equation....make it all about fact, logic and reason, lead people to a logical, inescapable conclusion... and you can't overcome emotion with fact, logic and reason." "The entire real estate industry is built on a false premise, that is that people win or lose business based on their presentation and their commission. And its just not true. Some people have gotten really good doing the wrong thing" Concepts from the books we want to talk about: - How can I compete with realtors who have discounted their commissions? Why would somebody hire me if I am charging 6% when others are at 4%? - What does it mean when you ask  "Are you the FAVORITE or the FOOL?" Why do you think most of the time their mind is totally made up and the listing presentation is a complete waste of time? - Why would anybody waste their time talking to a real estate agent they have no intention of hiring? How can I recognize these time-wasters? How can I change their minds? How can I become the FAVORITE?  - Mark Cuban says knock on alot of doors. Why do you say knocking on doors a fool's errand. Why is it a waste of time? Why is farming a bad idea? - What does it mean to have a transactional oriented business and how do I make the change to a referral-based relational business? How do I build trust?

    There used to be 18,000 commercial banks in the US before the 80's crash. Now there are a bit more than 4,000. People and businesses rely on banks more than ever, but the need for drive-up, bricks and mortar bank branches has diminished. We don't need drive-throughs or ATMs, but we do need superior electronics. Where do Lending Tree and Rocket Mortgage fit in as banks adapt to the changing needs? We'll ask our experts. We have experienced several events that have resulted in yet another jolt to smaller and regional banks, including tanking their deposit base and stock prices. Aside from a national crisis in bank confidence, personally I think it's a real loss that Silicon Valley Bank has disappeared, and hope for the best for First Republic - one of the very best niche banks in the country. The fact that their assets are misaligned with their liabilities is not much different than the too-big-to-fail banks, yet they are getting punished for it. The Fed should support all banks if they want true competition...but they don't. Will we see reform and additional regulation? We'll ask our experts. As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation we are seeing most Americans sitting tight with their low-interest mortgages. As a consequence there is a record-low level of real estate inventory available, and record-low levels of new mortgages and refinancing activity. Banks are making less on each mortgage. We'll ask our experts about the business plan for banks and what will it take to break this cycle that seems to be breaking banks. ⏩⏩ Join the discussion every Thursday at 4pm, Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351 📍 The Engel Team - Licensed Real Estate Broker in Connecticut.⁠ 💡 199 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT 06840⁠  Watch Our Recent Luxury Million Dollar Listing House Videos:​ 🎬 Engel Team Presents $3 Million Dollar Listing House For Sale || 684 Westover Road Stamford CT:     • Engel Team Presen...   🎬Frank Lloyd Wright Wants His Doors Back!

The Fed should support all banks if they want true competition...but they don't. Will we see reform and additional regulation? We'll ask our experts.

    As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation we are seeing most Americans sitting tight with their low-interest mortgages. As a consequence there is a record-low level of real estate inventory available, and record-low levels of new mortgages and refinancing activity. Banks are making less on each mortgage. We'll ask our experts about the business plan for banks and what will it take to break this cycle that seems to be breaking banks.

People and businesses rely on banks more than ever, but the need for drive-up, bricks and mortar bank branches has diminished. We don't need drive-throughs or ATMs, but we do need superior electronics. Where do Lending Tree and Rocket Mortgage fit in as banks adapt to the changing needs? We'll ask our experts.

    This week we're heading to Hilton Head Island , the famous Sea Pines Resort and the surrounding coastal communities of Bluffton, Palmetto Bluff and Beaufort, South Carolina. Sea Pines Plantation is the original 5,200 acre private gated community established in 1957 by Charles Fraser with 4 golf courses and one mobile phone in a trailer. Some say he invented the modern gated community and environmentally-oriented tourism. Today, the tourism and travel industry in Hilton Head is one of the largest in the country. Sea Pines still dominates the rental market with properties available for rental year-round. But, in recent years, Hilton Head has also developed a large permanent resident population around 33,000 people live on the 55 square mile island (about the same size as Greenwich, CT but half the population) The real estate market is also quite lucrative, with the mean residential property in Sea Pines selling for about $639,000 as of February 2018. For more than a decade, Charter One Realty has been the top producing real estate company in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton markets capturing an industry-leading average market share of 20 percent during that period. 🎬 Watch all (Boroughs & Burbs) Episodes on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... 🎬 Connecticut Real Estate Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

    We are back in the Big Apple for episode #68 of Boroughs & Burbs to talk with the leading appraiser in the nation, Jonathan Miller.      We had Jonathan on episode 32 "The Pricing Show" when Jonathan was joined by Dr. Rob Docters of Yale. And, we had Jonathan on again in last spring, episode 50 where we asked "Can Housing Keep Rising?"  Nine months have passed since we made some of those dire predictions. Six months have passed since Jamie Dimon warned that we were heading for an Economic Hurricane. (Well, Jamie was right to be pessimistic about crypto.)      So, this week on the show we will explore the economy generally and their impact on housing in New York and Connecticut, particularly the relationship between inventory, prices and slowing homes sales.

    We are in Texas for episode #67 of Boroughs & Burbs to talk with the leaders who built a dominant market share as the Sudhoff Companies before partnering with Douglas Elliman in 2019.      Why Texas? Texas has emerged as one of the most important, fast-growing markets in the country over the last decade so we want to know why and will it last? Some of the questions we'll ask these two guests: 1. Growth. Texas represents 2 of the top 10 growing markets in the nation. Dallas moved up 5 spots to #2 and Austin is #4. The Texas housing price 1-year growth is 19.8%, 5-year growth is 63.9%. This is not a new phenomenon. 10-year growth is 123% and 20 year growth is 210%. How long will this growth continue and what could possibly derail it? 2. Politics. When asked why he moved from California Joe Rogan said it was about "Freedom". Catherine, you said to me that Texas is "famously purple"  Certainly politics is a factor is why people choose to move but would you say its a major draw and why? ​​​​​​​3. Businesses are moving. Chevron, Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, Oracle and Amazon are just a few of the high-profile businesses moving their headquarters to Texas. It seems most of the migration is from California, and technology-related. I have to add that New York City is also proud to be welcoming Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple. Those 4 companies took 3+ million feet in Manhattan in 2020.  Talk about the impact of these corporate moves on the real estate market and the impact of technology in particular. 4. Cost of Living.  According to Nerdwallet the cost of living is 152% higher in New York City than it is in Austin, Texas. That means you'd have to make $125,964 in NYC to maintain what would be a $50,000 standard of living in Texas. Housing costs are 422% higher. The median home in Austin is $347,906 versus $2.2 million in Manhattan. Median rents? $1,520/mo in Austin versus $5500 in Manhattan. However, the cost of living is 12% lower in Nashville, Tennessee and 16% less in Charlotte, North Carolina. Is the Texas miracle dependent on remaining a low-cost place to live and do business?  ​​​​​​​5. Future Growth. Dallas and Houston are long-established as centers for technology, finance and energy. Many think the Texas economy moves up and down with the price of oil. Does Austin grow because of the University of Texas? Is San Antonio next? Let's talk about what the future looks like for the Texas market and what is driving that phenomenon.

    Welcome back to New York for episode #66 of Boroughs & Burbs. This week is a very special show. We have the NYC-based Presidents of two real estate brokerages that are in some ways similar, and yet couldn't be more different.

         We have Richard Ferrari, the President of Douglas Elliman, which has been in existence since 1911 and has over 7,000 agents in 113 offices across the country. The most significant recent change for Elliman is that this famous New York firm went public with a mandate to expand from its New York roots into luxury markets across the U.S. After spending 15 years at Elliman earlier in his career Richard Ferrari is back at the firm in charge of New York and New England with the mandate to grow, grow, grow.

         We have Richard Grossman, the President of Avenue 8. I met Richard Grossman when he was President of Halstead, Manhattan and he appeared on Boroughs & Burbs on Episode 11, "High Style" where we talked design. But, Richard knows the business of big brokerage in the Big Apple. In his new role, as President of Brokerage for a California-based, technology-savvy, venture-backed new brokerage called Avenue 8, Richard is also charged with growing the business, but with a different emphasis and for a firm with different skills and assets. Inman writes, "Avenue 8 is the rising star among modern brokerages. Their easy-to-use, mobile-first technology platform for agents is designed to help agents focus on what they really need to focus on — their clients." We want to hear more about this approach to the business.

         But, its not enough to grow a brokerage. I want to know how to grow my personal business and so do most of us out there. We have much to learn from the experience of these two men. This business is changing, consolidating and evolving. Every day we are told that if we don't change with it we'll be left behind. How does it make you feel that Forbes is still asking "In the Future of Real Estate, Will Agents Still Play a Role?"  And yet Zillow Offers blew up last year. Redfin shut down iBuying. And more recently Opendoor lost much more money than Zillow Offers ever did.  Is this redemption? Is relationship-selling and trust making a comeback. Or, are we marching inevitably to a future where the agent plays a diminishing role?  I want to ask these men to share their experiences and their wisdom about where the business is going and how to succeed in it.

    Welcome to our Dominating Social Show, episode #65 of Boroughs & Burbs. This week we have two experts on the intersection of social media with luxury lifestyle and real estate. How important is Social Media in the world of luxury goods and real estate? Very. First, there's Samantha Yanks, the Queen of the Hamptons and NYC. Yes, that Samantha Yanks, formerly Editor in Chief of the region's two powerhouse publications and now she's all-in on Connecticut. With her move to Westport, and the launch of her digital media platform, The Connecticut Edit, Samantha Yanks has proven that Connecticut is the chicest new place to dwell and she is making noise through social domination. When I discovered they asked Samantha to join the Real Housewives cast  I had to include that tasty bit because it's just fun and we're going to ask her about it. For more on the amazing career of Samantha Yanks scroll down. It's not enough to ask the tastemakers. We've also got one of the superstars of New York real estate on the show. Jonathan Stein has been leading one of the top New York City (and Hamptons) teams for the last 10 years. Jonathan has a more than respectable 14,000 followers on Instagram, and members of his team have 10 times that (see below). How important is social media to Jonathan's business? Is there a difference between social in Manhattan versus in the Hamptons? Is social media a gateway to finding new potential clients, to connecting with past clients? I'd like to understand how Jonathan strikes the balance between being authentic and spontaneous on social media versus putting out there a professional and well-curated presence. And, I'd like to know if he's getting help, or doing it himself.

    Welcome to our Great Southwest Show, episode #64 of Boroughs & Burbs. This week we have a tale of two cities which could not be more different, and yet they share a great deal in common. First, there's San Diego, known as "America's Finest City" with its quintessentially southern California vibe. It's a more laid-back environment, and a much more affordable market than L.A., attracting "billionaires in board shorts."   Blessed with the most temperate climate in the nation, averaging 65 degrees and sunny all year long, its a market bounded by the Pacific to the west, the ecologically-protected desert andmountains to the east, Camp Pendleton to the north and Mexico to the south. With these natural boundaries limiting development, and an economy long-dominated by the military presence in the area, is it any wonder that San Diego has been one of the most stable real-estate markets in the country? Greg tells me that they've been short of inventory for the last 30 years, something that most of the rest of us have been experiencing for the very first time. We'd like to understand who besides Alicia Keys is moving to San Diegoand why? We also have Scottsdale, Arizona, city of 250,000, long known as an incredible tourist destination but sometimes overshadowed by its sister city Phoenix. Like San Diego we see that tourism is now the second-largest industry in Scottsdale as the medical industry is on top. The median price of a home in swanky Pinnacle Peak is only $660,000. Prices have appreciated in Pinnacle Peak by only 10% this past year whereas in South Scottsdale they went up 30%. Taxes are not bad. The top income tax bracket is 4.5% andproperty taxes statewide average only .62%, significantly less than the nationwide average of 1.06% (compare to Connecticut at 2.13%, New Jersey at 2.49% and New York at 1.72%)  Some of the questions we have for Nicole are who is moving into Scottsdale and why? With all of these medical facilities and golf courses can we still say this is a winter destination for retirees, or has Scottsdale evolved into a more balanced year-round community? Is Scottsdale still affordable, or is Arizona experiencing some of the terrific appreciation levels seen in Palm Beach, Boise, and Austin?

    Welcome to our Moderns show, episode #63 of Boroughs & Burbs. This week I would like to explore the concept of modernism with two experts who have given the subject a great deal of thought, built magnificent modern houses and buildings, and who have taught the subject of Modern architecture around the world in seminars and at the college level. First, we'd like to define Modernism. Are we talking about the clean lines and open-plan aesthetics of the 1950's, now over 70 years old, or is the new Modernism something else entirely?  What does it mean to be Modern in 2022 and where is the movement going? Does Modernism include the clean lines of IKEA's smart home or the exotic Iron Man's cliffside villa in Avengers? Second, we'd like to understand who is buying modern architecture, and why? Maybe Modern architecture is so expensive that it has become a status symbol for the ultra-rich. Are the ultra-rich the only ones who can afford these sleek glass and steel structures with fabulous waterfront views or views of L.A. from the Hollywood Hills. These modern houses are a staple of shows like Selling Sunset, and admired by the rest of us. Will they ever become accessible to the rest of us? Third, we would like to know where this admiration of Modern by the "younger generation" comes from, and how it is showing up in our housing market in markets from New York, to L.A., Miami, the Hamptons or Connecticut. Some of these communities embrace modern design, while others reject it in favor of more tradtional styles. An article in Curbed seemed to suggest that Modernism comes from the trend toward urban living: we all value the aesthetic of the modern, uncluttered, technology-centric apartment in the city. Maybe Baby Boomer rejected modern because it childhood homes.

Are we talking about the clean lines and open-plan aesthetics of the 1950's, now over 70 years old, or is the new Modernism something else entirely?  What does it mean to be Modern in 2022 and where is the movement going? Does Modernism include the clean lines of IKEA's smart home or the exotic Iron Man's cliffside villa in Avengers?

    Second, we'd like to understand who is buying modern architecture, and why? Maybe Modern architecture is so expensive that it has become a status symbol for the ultra-rich. Are the ultra-rich the only ones who can afford these sleek glass and steel structures with fabulous waterfront views or views of L.A. from the Hollywood Hills. These modern houses are a staple of shows like Selling Sunset, and admired by the rest of us. Will they ever become accessible to the rest of us?

    Third, we would like to know where this admiration of Modern by the "younger generation" comes from, and how it is showing up in our housing market in markets from New York, to L.A., Miami, the Hamptons or Connecticut. Some of these communities embrace modern design, while others reject it in favor of more tradtional styles. An article in Curbed seemed to suggest that Modernism comes from the trend toward urban living: we all value the aesthetic of the modern, uncluttered, technology-centric apartment in the city. Maybe Baby Boomer rejected modern because it childhood homes.

    Welcome to our Hamptons show. World-famous towns, villages and hamlets on Long Island's South Fork between Westhampton and Montauk, the Hamptons have long been a weekend and summer retreat for the world's wealthiest people, from movie and TV stars, dignitaries and socialites, hedge fund managers to hip-hop artists and more. We'll ask these two Hamptons insiders to tell us about the Hamptons beyond the beautiful beaches and the people who frequent them. Is there still a Hamptons for mere mortals? Of course we have to talk about the trophy properties. The current trophy-holder for the priciest sale in the Hamptons is $137 million. That was set in 2014 and was a sale for three contiguous lots running across 16 acres in East Hampton. Only five Hamptons homes in history have ever gone for more than $100 million (according to Jonathan Miller, president of real estate appraisal company Miller Samuel) Jonathan says  "Thanks to the rising net worth of America's richest 1 percent, whose wealth increased by $12 trillion during the pandemic to a record $45.9 trillion at the end of 2021, trophy transactions are picking up pace. Appraiser @jonathanmiller said in the early years of the market he would see one or two transactions above $50 million in a year. Now he sees them every other week."

    This is definitely going to be a different kind of show. These are two incredibly well-connected men in the world of New York real estate whose business it is to know the major trends, who's getting in, who's getting out, and why.     While most of us focus on a few listings at a time we have with us on the show Aaron Feldman, co-founder of Benchmark Real Estate Group a man who has developed, managed and sold dozens of buildings and who currently manages over a thousand apartments worth over $1 billion. The Real Deal was paying attention to Benchmark, noting that they were $400 million sellers between 2015 - 2017. Two years later the Real Deal reported that Benchmark Real Estate Group was back in the market and raising $250 million through the acquisition of a SPAC and an IPO. Has he found any interesting multifamily buildings to buy or develop? Which New York markets are poised to go higher?  And, what is the value-add he brings in 2023?      Amir Korangy founded The Real Deal nearly 20 years ago when he realized there was a need in the market to cover the real estate industry here. The online and print publication, which serves as a source for other periodicals, was self-proclaimed "the must-read news source for real estate news," in a profile in the Los Angeles Times in 2009, and "the hot sheet for NYC real estate professionals," by the New York Post. Korangy was named one of the 100 most powerful figures in New York City real estate by the New York Observer in 2009. In 2008 he expanded to the Miami market, and in 2016 he added Los Angeles. In mid-2017, TheRealDeal.com was named the website with the wealthiest audience by Quantcast, and made the top 25- list of websites with the most educated audience. Just under 80 percent of TheRealDeal.com's readers have at least an undergraduate degree.

    What is Downsizing? Downsizing and the Small House Movement. 📝 "The ongoing pandemic has changed the way we live. Many have left the big city, are working from home, and not going out as much. We have all heard about how our homes have to be healthier, more efficient, more flexible, and perhaps a bit bigger to accommodate all of this. Nobody follows these trends more closely than author Sheri Koones, who has written many books on home design, with the latest being "Bigger Than Tiny, Smaller Than Average."  _____These homes are not as small as the ones in her last book, "Downsize: Living Large in a Small House," which was aimed at a different market at a different time. Can these houses even be considered small, with many running around 1,800 square feet? But the average new American home in 2019 was 2,623 square feet so these are definitely smaller than average, even if a lot bigger than tiny. The small houses—all 2,000 square feet or less—presented in "Downsize" are owned by people who have made a conscious decision to downsize from a larger home to a smaller home—or who just decided to build small in the first place. ⏩⏩ Join us today, Every Thursday at 4pm, Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351 🔜 🔔 Subscribe now: https://cutt.ly/ozGU5tV​​ 👩🏻‍💼 Sheri Koones is a widely respected author who helps readers understand that getting the house of their dreams can be done in an ecologically responsible way.  Her books explore the variety, beauty, and eco-friendly benefits of prefab homes. Her books have evolved from just profiling the variety of prefab methods in her first Prefabulous book to showing how energy-efficient and sustainable houses can be with Prefabulous + Almost Off the Grid: Your Path to Building an Energy-Independent Home and Prefabulous + Sustainable: Building and Customizing an Affordable, Energy Efficient Home. Prefabulous World: Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Homes Around the Globe explored the beauty and efficiency of houses around the world, from France to South Africa and Japan to Australia. She has won the prestigious Gold in the Robert Bruss Real Estate Book Awards from NAREE in 2013, 2011, and 2008. No matter whether you call it downsizing or rightsizing, the trend toward living in a small home is here to stay. In "Downsize: Living Large in a Small House" (Taunton Press, October 29, 2019, $34.95), best-selling author Sheri Koones presents 33 exceptional houses that show how small can be comfortable, practical, energy-efficient—and beautiful. 🧑🏻‍💻 John Engel - John Engel found at http://www.JohnEngel.com.

    Ordinarily in September New Yorkers rivalry with Boston is heating up. Not this year. With the Red Sox 16 games back on the Yankees and neither the Patriots, Jets or Giants contending it might be time to focus on real estate and snag that second home on Nantucket you've been thinking about. Boston seems to be on pace to set new records this year despite fears of a national recession. Why? The biggest reason seems to be lack of real estate inventory in a market with strong job growth and continued strong job prospects. Boston may have experienced many of the same problems as New York City during the pandemic with the loss of live entertainment, restaurant, and tourism dollars but like New York is surging past pre-pandemic levels and attracting major new industries such as technology. I think one advantage Boston has always had is the number of universities in the area and the concentration of advanced degrees. What are the Boston real estate market predictions for 2022 and 2023? With steady job growth, huge gains in home equity, and a large population of millennials now in their peak homebuying years, it is predicted that the demand will stay strong, but sales are likely to be down from historic highs while price appreciation should fall to more modest levels. Since the last decade (May 2012), the typical home value in Boston-Cambridge-Newton Metro has appreciated by nearly 91.4% (Zillow Home Value Index). Boston has several key advantages: low percentage price growth in 2021 relative to other metros, average loan-to-value rate of only 79 percent, low share of flipped homes and loss of population last year. The Boston housing market is very competitive. Homes in Boston receive 3 offers on average and sell in around 21 days. The average sale price of a home in Boston was $760K last month, up 7.0% since last year. The average sale price per square foot in Boston is $612, down 5.6% since last year.

    "Bracing for an Economic Hurricane"          "That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way. We don't know if it's a minor one or Superstorm Sandy. You better brace yourself," said Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase onstage at a conference just yesterday. What does this all mean? What does it mean for the luxury real estate market? What does it mean for the not-so-luxury real estate market? At what point do rising rates have a material effect on market performance and valuations? Will banks change their lending standards as a result? What canbanks do to continue the flow of home buying?      What is the true relationship between interest rates, housing prices and the supply of housing? What we'd like to know is how are major banks responding to the change, and will the window of opportunity be closing for some buyers?      In the 1980's countries such as Japan and Sweden introduced the 100-year intergenerational mortgage in which the borrower pays little more than the interest payments each month. While still rare in America, is it possible that this kind of mortgage could be introduced as an answer to the rising crisis of affordability?     Co-hosts Roberto Cabrera and John Engel will be asking the regional sales managers of two major lenders these questions.

    The Vero Beach Show       Known as the "Hamptons of the South" and as Florida's "Treasure Coast" Vero Beach is a 28-mile island connected by three bridges to the mainland. About 90 minutes southeast of Orlando, and 90 minutes north of Palm Beach, Vero Beach is served by its own airport with 26 direct flights a day (most importantly for New Yorkers to Newark and Westchester County).  There are 15,220 people across 7,505 households of which 16% have children at home. The largest employer is Piper Aircraft in a city known mainly for tourism. And, as of 2021 the city hosts 14 private golf clubs and is the historic home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, "Historic Dodgertown".      So, why Vero Beach? That's what we want to know. This week we dig in for an in-depth conversation with Vero Beach's top realtor Sally Daley of The Daley Group and top builder Bob McNally of Palm Coast Development to understand the market, where it's been during the covid years and where it's heading.      As Palm Beach prices skyrocket (average $3.3 million, $1600 per foot) is the same true in Vero Beach ($1.2 million, $504 per foot) or is this a secret waiting to be discovered?     Are values in Vero Beach one big hurricane away from "correcting" or has building technology improved to the point where we can say these luxury homes can handle it?     At the end of 2021, some economists were calling the Florida market overheated and overvalued by 40%. But other economists are saying that covid changed everything, that the new work-from-anywhere economy means Florida is no longer only for tourism. Where does Vero Beach see itself in the future? Sally Daley      Known for marketing savvy, boundless energy, and an ability to merge creativity with analytics, Sally is consistently among Indian River County’s top producers and has represented buyers, developers, and sellers of properties on the river, ocean, and in between at virtually all price points. In her 15-year real estate career, she has amassed sales well in excess of five hundred and fifteen million dollars.       Her dedication to research and data analytics, relentless following of the markets, and her encyclopedic knowledge of the real estate market and Indian River County make her a truly unequaled advocate for her clients. Sally’s data-backed and research-based approach stand-alone in Indian River County.      Prior to her career in real estate, Sally owned a public relations + marketing firm just north of New York City. Her firm provided services for high-profile clients like Citibank, Hyatt Hotels, Champion Paper, Nine West Shoes, and The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, among others.         Bob McNally is the CEO at Palm Coast Development. His company is unique in that it combines architecture, interior decors, and construction as the main functions of a full-service integrated business. It has built significant landmark projects and high-end residences in Vero Beach and Stuart, Florida over the past 15 years.      The McNallys hail from Morris County, New Jersey where Robert was the CEO of a major construction firm that was involved in the acquisition, planning, and construction of major communities involving well over 5,600 homes and 1,000,000 square feet of Class A office space.      Having been involved in over a billion dollars worth of construction projects the company decided to form an Architecture and Interiors studio so that it could concentrate on custom projects; homes, small communities, mixed-use projects, condominiums, and Class A commercial projects.

    The Martha's Vineyard Show Martha's Vineyard has a reputation for being a popular and affluent summer community with fabulous beaches and authentic New England charm. Who is coming to Martha's Vineyard, and why? And how has that changed? As New York area realtors we want to know why Martha's Vineyard is not like other affluent beachy communities like the Hamptons or its island neighbors Nantucket and Block Island. - Martha's Vineyard is 96 square miles, compared to 70 in East Hampton (including east to Montauk). Block Island is only 9.7 square miles (and 40% of that is protected land conservation.) Nantucket island is 47 square miles. - 17,000 people call the Vineyard home, but the populations swells to 200,000 in-season. Compare that to 28,000 in East Hampton, and 14,000 in Nantucket swelling to 50,000. - the median listing on Nantucket is $3.9 million, and so much more affordable on the Vineyard at only $1.9 million in Edgartown and $1.3 million in Vineyard Haven. In East Hampton the median listing is $2.3 million. - in 1974 Steven Spielberg filmed the movie Jaws on Martha's Vineyard and the island now celebrates with an annual "Jawsfest" - there are 19 beaches on the island. What percentage of them are public versus private? ​​​​​​​- President Bill Clinton, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton have been coming to Martha's Vineyard since the 1990's. - President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama used to vacation here at Blue Heron Farm and decided to settle here permanently when they purchased 30 acres in 2019. ​​​​​​​Who are the people who come for the summer, and what do they find there in summer? How does the community change in the off-season? How has the pandemic changed the community, and what is predicted? Tell us about the luxury and exclusive neighborhoods of Martha's Vineyard, and do they attract anyone besides ex-Presidents?

    The Martha's Vineyard Show
    Martha's Vineyard has a reputation for being a popular and affluent summer community with fabulous beaches and authentic New England charm. Who is coming to Martha's Vineyard, and why? And how has that changed? As New York area realtors we want to know why Martha's Vineyard is not like other affluent beachy communities like the Hamptons or its island neighbors Nantucket and Block Island.
    - Martha's Vineyard is 96 square miles, compared to 70 in East Hampton (including east to Montauk). Block Island is only 9.7 square miles (and 40% of that is protected land conservation.) Nantucket island is 47 square miles.
    - 17,000 people call the Vineyard home, but the populations swells to 200,000 in-season. Compare that to 28,000 in East Hampton, and 14,000 in Nantucket swelling to 50,000.
    - the median listing on Nantucket is $3.9 million, and so much more affordable on the Vineyard at only $1.9 million in Edgartown and $1.3 million in Vineyard Haven. In East Hampton the median listing is $2.3 million.
    - in 1974 Steven Spielberg filmed the movie Jaws on Martha's Vineyard and the island now celebrates with an annual "Jawsfest"
    - there are 19 beaches on the island. What percentage of them are public versus private?
    ​​​​​​​- President Bill Clinton, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton have been coming to Martha's Vineyard since the 1990's.
    - President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama used to vacation here at Blue Heron Farm and decided to settle here permanently when they purchased 30 acres in 2019.

    ​​​​​​​Who are the people who come for the summer, and what do they find there in summer?
    How does the community change in the off-season?
    How has the pandemic changed the community, and what is predicted?
    Tell us about the luxury and exclusive neighborhoods of Martha's Vineyard, and do they attract anyone besides ex-Presidents?

    Review of the First Quarter Market Report  New York and Connecticut  "Sales in Manhattan continued on a tear, setting records for the third straight quarter as the market catches up with the region. The quarter saw the highest number of sales for a first quarter in thirty-three years of tracking. Overall price trend indicators were higher than in the same period before the pandemic. Bidding war market share rose to the highest level in four years for the fourth straight quarter. Co-op median sales price posted significant annual gains for the fifth consecutive quarter and was higher than pre-pandemic levels. Condo sales were up by more than fifty percent annually to reach the most first-quarter sales in fifteen years of tracking.

It's been a challenge for decades but now, in 2022, when inventory is particularly tight and housing costs are rising at unprecedented rates, governments are feeling the pressure to "do something about it".  Governor Kathy Hochul of New York recently proposed allowing homeowners to transform parts of their residence into a separate living space, similar to an apartment as a way to solve the problem. Her plan was rejected. In Connecticut, developers are taking advantage of 8-30g rules to propose many new affordable housing projects, particularly in New Canaan and Greenwich. Some say 8-30g should be repealed, while others say it's a law that works.     New legislation is being proposed to require cities and towns to make more affordable housing, while towns say they can solve this locally, and don't want the Hartford dictating policy. Today we have Connecticut experts who have been studying the issue and hope to gain a greater understanding of current developments and proposals.   Our special guests will include: - Senator Ryan Fazio (Greenwich, New Canaan, Stamford) - Senator Tony Hwang (Newtown, Easton, Fairfield, Weston, and Westport) - Francis Pickering from the Western Council of Governments  - Scott Hobbs from New Canaan's Housing Authority Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351  Or, binge watch all 42 shows on Youtube.  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL Coming Up in March On Boroughs & Burbs: March 17 - Connecticut's Governor Ned Lamont We'll talk to the Governor about his vision for Connecticut's future, particularly those things that relate to real estate and housing.

    "Tax the Rich, They Won't Move"    Wait, is that even true?  Join us for a conversation with University of Connecticut Professor Thomas Cooke on demographic trends, American migration and why people are more content than ever to just stay put.  Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351  Or, binge watch all 46 shows on Youtube.  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL “We’re having this long-term and short-term transition to remote work, and people don’t have to move as often,” Thomas Cooke says. “So if you lose your job, and you have a partner and a family and you’re connected to your neighborhood, you can stay where you are and adjust to not have to cut ties with all those things that are important to you.”  - Thomas Cooke in "What's Next for the Connecticut Real Estate Market?" Thomas Cooke, PhD is Professor Emeritus of Geography at the University of Connected and a Demographic Consultant focusing on population projections, migration policy, and demographic analysis. Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL The 2020 National Movers Study says New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and California saw the highest proportion of outbound migration. 7 Questions For the Professor: 1. The Importance of Demographics. When a big demographic group (boomers) reach a certain age (18 year old men) their buying habits change. This is the reason that motorcycle sales peaked in the early 70’s. Companies like Honda time these trends correctly and make a fortune. Can you give us a case study or two on the importance of paying attention to demographic trends and where we are in the cycle now?  2. Millenials. I understand that they represent about 35% of the nation and that since they are turning 30 they are suddenly interested in settling down, buying their first house. Let’s talk about the Millenials. How old are they, how many of them are there, and what do they buy?  3. Boomers. I understand that they represent about 35% of the country and they have all the money. I am under the impression that while TV advertisers are not targeting them as a group Realtors definitely are. Are they buying second homes or are they the ones downsizing, selling the beach house to a GenX’er and staying put. Are they moving to southern states and tax-free jurisdictions to preserve wealth? Describe where the Boomers are in their journey and why?  4. Moving/Staying Put. You said that people are not moving as often, “this long-term and short-term transition to remote work and people don’t have to move as often”. Talk to us about whether this is a long-term or short-term phenomenon.  5. Urban/Suburban. They used to say “when New York City sneezes then Connecticut catches cold”. The Connecticut economy has traditionally been dependent on the health of the New York economy. Covid seemed to change that, where the suburbs were the beneficiaries of urban disruption, particularly New York’s.  6. Schools. You do a lot of work on population projections for towns and schools. In Connecticut the schools have been shrinking. Why? (And where are these kids going?) My town, New Canaan, Connecticut, is known to have good schools and our real estate values are dependent on investing properly in education. We depend a great deal during budget season on getting the number right and predicting accurately the size of each class. Why is it so hard to predict and will towns like Darien and New Canaan continue to defy the experts and grow forever? 7. Tax the Rich. Massachusetts recently proposed to tax the rich. Advocates for the tax say that only a fraction of the rich will move out of state as a result. Is there any evidence that this is true and that the tax is a net winner? What is the effect on Connecticut if both Massach

    “We’re having this long-term and short-term transition to remote work, and people don’t have to move as often,” Thomas Cooke says. “So if you lose your job, and you have a partner and a family and you’re connected to your neighborhood, you can stay where you are and adjust to not have to cut ties with all those things that are important to you.”
     - Thomas Cooke in "What's Next for the Connecticut Real Estate Market?"

    Thomas Cooke, PhD is Professor Emeritus of Geography at the University of Connected and a Demographic Consultant focusing on population projections, migration policy, and demographic analysis.

    The 2020 National Movers Study says New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and California saw the highest proportion of outbound migration.

    7 Questions For the Professor:

    1. The Importance of Demographics. When a big demographic group (boomers) reach a certain age (18 year old men) their buying habits change. This is the reason that motorcycle sales peaked in the early 70’s. Companies like Honda time these trends correctly and make a fortune. Can you give us a case study or two on the importance of paying attention to demographic trends and where we are in the cycle now? 

    2. Millenials. I understand that they represent about 35% of the nation and that since they are turning 30 they are suddenly interested in settling down, buying their first house. Let’s talk about the Millenials. How old are they, how many of them are there, and what do they buy? 

    3. Boomers. I understand that they represent about 35% of the country and they have all the money. I am under the impression that while TV advertisers are not targeting them as a group Realtors definitely are. Are they buying second homes or are they the ones downsizing, selling the beach house to a GenX’er and staying put. Are they moving to southern states and tax-free jurisdictions to preserve wealth? Describe where the Boomers are in their journey and why? 

    4. Moving/Staying Put. You said that people are not moving as often, “this long-term and short-term transition to remote work and people don’t have to move as often”. Talk to us about whether this is a long-term or short-term phenomenon. 

    5. Urban/Suburban. They used to say “when New York City sneezes then Connecticut catches cold”. The Connecticut economy has traditionally been dependent on the health of the New York economy. Covid seemed to change that, where the suburbs were the beneficiaries of urban disruption, particularly New York’s. 

    6. Schools. You do a lot of work on population projections for towns and schools. In Connecticut the schools have been shrinking. Why? (And where are these kids going?) My town, New Canaan, Connecticut, is known to have good schools and our real estate values are dependent on investing properly in education. We depend a great deal during budget season on getting the number right and predicting accurately the size of each class. Why is it so hard to predict and will towns like Darien and New Canaan continue to defy the experts and grow forever?

    7. Tax the Rich. Massachusetts recently proposed to tax the rich. Advocates for the tax say that only a fraction of the rich will move out of state as a result. Is there any evidence that this is true and that the tax is a net winner? What is the effect on Connecticut if both Massach

    Boroughs & Burbs Episode 45: Governor Ned Lamont & DECD Commissioner David Lehman Conversation on Real Estate and the Connecticut Economy   What's the outlook for the Connecticut economy and our real estate market in particular? We just experienced our best year in the last 20 years. Rising prices and record deal-flow. The state has a surplus and is cutting property taxes. But, facing labor shortages, supply chain challenges, the war in Ukraine, record gas prices and 7% inflation we have to ask ourselves can the Connecticut rebound continue? Is the inbound migration, particularly from New York, a long-term phenomenon or simply a Covid bonus? What's the jobs outlook? What does Connecticut have to do to compete? Our guests this week are Governor Ned Lamont and his most senior Economic Advisor, Commissioner David Lehman, the man who is helping Governor Lamont replace the jobs wiped out by the pandemic and attract new high-profile businesses to the state. 7 Questions For the Governor and Commissioner Lehman 1. Real Estate is an Essential Industry? Early on in the pandemic New York shut down their real estate industry. Connecticut stayed open for business. Who should I thank for naming real estate an essential industry and paving the way for New Yorkers to come out?  2. Taxes. Realtors know that taxes is a major reason why people move to Connecticut from New York (and Westchester County). Unfortunately we are losing some of our wealthiest to low-tax states like Florida and Texas. As Realtors we’d like to keep those people in-state. They’re good for our economy. What are your ideas on tax policy as a tool for retention?   3. Marketing. Governors have become the chief sales people of their states. I heard you were just on a recruiting trip to Israel. What is the pitch for Connecticut? What kind of industries are we looking for and what do we need to do to be competitive?  4. The Commute. With more people working at least part of the time from home Realtors have seen a shift away from the coast and are able to sell towns that are a bit further away. Places like Easton, Redding, Weston, Ridgefield and Danbury were maybe too far for a daily commute, but things have changed. Has this changed our thinking away from emphasizing/investing in Metro North and I-95 or are our traffic and commuting concerns as important as ever?  5. The Legislature. The state legislature seems to have a lot of opinions and some of their most controversial ideas are those that strip local control from the towns. Let’s say you rub the magic lamp and the genie gives you three wishes with the legislature. What would you ask for?  6. Big Idea. Along the same lines, if you could implement one really big idea, the one for which you’ll be remembered, what would it be?  7. Lessons Learned. Its 2028 and a new pandemic has arisen. The new governor calls and asks for advice. What do you tell him?

    Bob Stefanowski Gets Real with Realtors   Connecticut's housing market is way out of balance from Greenwich to Bridgeport. We had a very frank, LIVE zoom conversation with quite possibly the next Governor of Connecticut on the critical issues that affect our ability to be competitive, and ultimately play out in our housing market. We list 10 questions below we'll ask Bob on tax policy, transportation, school-choice, crime, state-vs-local control & how he would have handled the pandemic response.    Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351  Or, binge watch all 40 shows on Youtube.  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL    The 2018 election between Gov. Ned Lamont and Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski, who is again seeking his party’s nomination for governor, was close — 49.4 percent to 46.2 percent. For a state seen as solidly blue in national elections, Connecticut has had Republican governors in 16 of the last 27 years. Note, Connecticut's last three governors all lost an election before they won. So, thinking this might be the next leader of Connecticut we wanted to talk to Bob about the following:   1. You only narrowly lost four years ago. Recently you said, “I’m going to be a much better candidate this time.” What did you mean?  2. Connecticut has some of the highest cost of living in the country. You want to build a “better, more affordable Connecticut”. How can Connecticut do a better job with affordability generally, and making housing more affordable in particular?  3. Some say Governor Lamont went too far with mask mandates (and 7 extensions of executive powers). Was this necessary? How would you have led the State through the pandemic?  4. The commute to New York is not as important to homebuyers as it was a few years ago. Many more people work at least part of the time from home, easing the congestion on i-95 and the Merritt. Can it continue and what does this mean for the future of Connecticut?  5. Realtors will tell you that this shift away from commute-based work is benefitting Connecticut's real estate industry. People can consider homes further away from Manhattan and they considered a lot more towns in their home search. How can Connecticut capitalize on the new normal? 6. For the moment we have a budget surplus. Governor Lamont says he wants to use the surplus to temporarily lower personal property taxes. What would be your plan?  7. Energy – Connecticut is paying some of the highest electricity rates in the country. What can we do to solve our energy problem?  8. Schools – Any Realtor will tell you that Fairfield County schools are one of our most important assets.

    Bob Stefanowski Gets Real with Realtors
     
    Connecticut's housing market is way out of balance from Greenwich to Bridgeport. We had a very frank, LIVE zoom conversation with quite possibly the next Governor of Connecticut on the critical issues that affect our ability to be competitive, and ultimately play out in our housing market. We list 10 questions below we'll ask Bob on tax policy, transportation, school-choice, crime, state-vs-local control & how he would have handled the pandemic response.

    The 2018 election between Gov. Ned Lamont and Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski, who is again seeking his party’s nomination for governor, was close — 49.4 percent to 46.2 percent. For a state seen as solidly blue in national elections, Connecticut has had Republican governors in 16 of the last 27 years. Note, Connecticut's last three governors all lost an election before they won. So, thinking this might be the next leader of Connecticut we wanted to talk to Bob about the following:
     
    1. You only narrowly lost four years ago. Recently you said, “I’m going to be a much better candidate this time.” What did you mean? 

    2. Connecticut has some of the highest cost of living in the country. You want to build a “better, more affordable Connecticut”. How can Connecticut do a better job with affordability generally, and making housing more affordable in particular? 

    3. Some say Governor Lamont went too far with mask mandates (and 7 extensions of executive powers). Was this necessary? How would you have led the State through the pandemic? 

    4. The commute to New York is not as important to homebuyers as it was a few years ago. Many more people work at least part of the time from home, easing the congestion on i-95 and the Merritt. Can it continue and what does this mean for the future of Connecticut? 

    5. Realtors will tell you that this shift away from commute-based work is benefitting Connecticut's real estate industry. People can consider homes further away from Manhattan and they considered a lot more towns in their home search. How can Connecticut capitalize on the new normal?

    6. For the moment we have a budget surplus. Governor Lamont says he wants to use the surplus to temporarily lower personal property taxes. What would be your plan? 

    7. Energy – Connecticut is paying some of the highest electricity rates in the country. What can we do to solve our energy problem? 

    8. Schools – Any Realtor will tell you that Fairfield County schools are one of our most important assets. We draw homebuyers out of New York because we invest in great schools and schools in turn support our property values. Talk about the role of education in Connecticut’s future. 

    9. What can we do to attract new business to Connecticut? Is there a particular industry Connecticut should be courting? 

    10. Infrastructure. What kinds of infrastructure investment must we make for Connecticut to compete in the 21st century?

New development contracts in 2021 totaled $1.54 billion, a 150 percent increase from last year and 77 percent jump from 2019.  898 new development contracts were signed in Brooklyn.

Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn posted 87 contracts in the fourth quarter, more than double the amount signed in the same time span last year.

    State of the Market: Greg Heym & Kevin Kovesci We'll talk to Greg Heym and Kevin Kovesci, our experts in New York about the effect of the pandemic and the election on the New York and suburban real estate markets.  These two know where the market is moving and so we expect to have a spirited discussion on: -Where is the buying opportunity in New York right now? -Interest rate movements. Where are they headed in 2022 and beyond and will they have an impact on price or is there less correlation than most people assume? -The lack of inventory. Are there just too many Millenials chasing too few houses and apartments or is the current boom in real estate a function of the money supply?  -New development trends. (and is anything new also affordable? Is New York affordable for the average Joe?) -Need for second homes. Is this what is driving the suburban market, and is it a function of the pandemic? -Decreasing importance of the daily commute. Is this overstated, and what has been the effect on prices? -Which neighborhoods are hot? Is the UWS back entirely? -Foreign buyers. Are they back and what are they buying? -New York sports teams. (Greg always has something to say on this. What do NY sports tell us about New York optimism and is the optimism reflected in the markets? -Unemployment effect on the market. The latest from The Line -Stock market effect on the NY market. How do bonuses look this year?What will they do to the Spring market? -Is NYC fulfilling its promise of being the new tech center? -New York City's current effect on the suburban markets? -Coop vs. condo trends. Are coops being forced to loosen up? Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL Greg Heym - Chief Economist for Brown Harris Stevens Greg was our first guest on episode 1 last May and again on episode 8 in October.

    State of the Market: Greg Heym & Kevin Kovesci

    We'll talk to Greg Heym and Kevin Kovesci, our experts in New York about the effect of the pandemic and the election on the New York and suburban real estate markets. 

    These two know where the market is moving and so we expect to have a spirited discussion on:

    -Where is the buying opportunity in New York right now?
    -Interest rate movements. Where are they headed in 2022 and beyond and will they have an impact on price or is there less correlation than most people assume?
    -The lack of inventory. Are there just too many Millenials chasing too few houses and apartments or is the current boom in real estate a function of the money supply? 
    -New development trends. (and is anything new also affordable? Is New York affordable for the average Joe?)
    -Need for second homes. Is this what is driving the suburban market, and is it a function of the pandemic?
    -Decreasing importance of the daily commute. Is this overstated, and what has been the effect on prices?
    -Which neighborhoods are hot? Is the UWS back entirely?
    -Foreign buyers. Are they back and what are they buying?
    -New York sports teams. (Greg always has something to say on this. What do NY sports tell us about New York optimism and is the optimism reflected in the markets?
    -Unemployment effect on the market. The latest from The Line
    -Stock market effect on the NY market. How do bonuses look this year?What will they do to the Spring market?
    -Is NYC fulfilling its promise of being the new tech center?
    -New York City's current effect on the suburban markets?
    -Coop vs. condo trends. Are coops being forced to loosen up?

    Today We Talk About REALLY BIG RANCHES in Montana Selling For Record Prices. Who is Buying Up Ranchland? Why? and Will The Party Continue? The first thing you need to know about Montana is it's a "No Disclosure" state. That means there is no public record of what the big real estate parcels are selling for. The only way to get that information is to know someone in the business, somebody like Kim Bennett who has created her own personal database over the last 30 years of appraisals and sales. That is why this is such a special show. We have two of the insiders of the Montana real estate industry, the only way to learn about transactions and trends in this up-and-coming real estate market. Our second guest is Keith Gertsen, head of the U.S. Hedge Fund Practice at Citibank who can speak to the trend as a  ranch owner and investor.  The second thing you need to know is THIS BOOM FEELS DIFFERENT. Montana has been discovered before. The first time was in 1991 when we were introduced to Montana in the movie "A River Runs Through It" and the second time in 1998 with The Horse Whisperer. There was a bit of a run up in prices in 2007 before the financial crisis, but when COVID hit people from all 50 States arrived, inventory fell and prices Rose.  Kim Bennett has been appraising farms, ranches, and rural recreational properties in Montana and Wyoming for over 30 years and she has been selling rural properties in Montana for the past 20 years.  Keith Gertsen, ranch owner and investor, currently working on the acquisition of a 26,000 acre cattle and recreational ranch. He started his career as a Wall Street trader and investor, but his interest in beef cattle and breeding coupled with his love of the outdoors and hunting and fishing took him West. Over the last two decades he's bought and sold over 50 large parcels of ranch land starting with a 20,000 acre property in North Dakota before buying his current ranch interests in Montana. He's currently working on the acquisition of a 26,000 acre cattle and recreational ranch in central Montana. He and Kim are working on that assemblage now.  We talk to Kim and Keith about: - What is considered a ranch? Is there a minimum size? - Does it have to function to be considered a "ranch"? - Who is buying up ranch land and how is that changing? - How does the market think about cattle per acre, grass quality, mineral rights, water rights, accessibility to an airport or highway or train, and even valuing dinosaur bones? - How has ranch land appreciated over time? (spoiler alert, 8.8% avg over the last 20 years) - How has COVID affected the market for rural spaces now that more people are able to work remotely? Finally, why are we talking about Montana ranches on a show that has been about New York City real estate and the surrounding suburbs? If you haven't seen Montana license plates in the Hamptons, in Greenwich, and in Palm Beach then you aren't paying attention. Montana is the new Nantucket, and we want to understand why? Is this a fad, or is Montana the newest suburb of New York?  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL Roberto Cabrera - With 20 years of experience, I have been recognized throughout the industry for achieving outstanding results: Ranked nationally by REAL Trends as one of "America's Best Real Estate Agents” for avg. sales price of $4.350M.

    We all think we know a thing or two about pricing. Every buyer, seller, and the real estate agent has an opinion about what the price "should be" based on a combination of our experience, research, and intuition. We think that because we've seen a thing or two we can be trusted. Can we? How much do we really know? Where do we get our facts and what subconscious biases are at work? How much confidence should we have? Let's face it, pricing is hard and we all make expensive mistakes. 🔜 🔔 Subscribe now: https://cutt.ly/ozGU5tV​​ 📑📑 This week on Boroughs & Burbs we are talking to two acknowledged experts on pricing:  Dr. Rob Docters teaches Pricing at Yale University and is the author of over 21 papers on the subject at researchgate.net. He is joined by Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel, arguably the best real estate appraiser in New York City, called "the demigod of New York Real Estate Stats" and "an incredible real estate analyst, a true Rockstar on NYC metro luxury markets.” We want to know what we don't know about pricing. We wanted to know about the "Buyer Trust Map" taken from a recent article by Dr. Rob Docters. In the article, Dr. Docters applies recent findings on cognition and trust to business decisions. This suggests that trust is a poor basis for decision-making, e.g.: purchase decisions unless the decision-maker knows how to look for greedy (undesirable) partner attributes.  Season 2, Episode 5: Dr. with Rob Docters and Jonathan Miller. 🙎🏻‍♂️ Jonathan Miller. Established in 1986, Miller Samuel is an independently owned and operated firm that provides appraisal and consulting services on property in New York City as well as Westchester County, Fairfield County, Long Island, The Hamptons, and North Fork for Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

At the beginning of the last decade, the market for houses was booming, but by 2015 they had peaked, and deflation of their value began...why? Are they back?

    David Genovese and David Waldman, Laura Budd and Tucker Murphy on the "Future of Downtown" in Darien, Westport and New Canaan, Connecticut We have all read about the bleak future of suburban downtown and particularly retail. "It's too hard to park"  and "The landlords ruined it by raising rents" and "There are no mom and pop shops" and "Amazon killed it" and "It's lost its charm"  More recently the work-from-home phenomenon has led people to wonder about the future of office space. And yet despite these problems our restaurants are having record-setting business, retail vacancy rates are below 5% and workers are returning to the office. Or are they? Our first two guests are two of the biggest change-agents in Fairfield County. While others may manage more square feet, their projects seek to define the future of two of our most beloved towns, Darien and Westport. These two men are transforming the downtowns while recognizing the challenges of creating transit-oriented development, pedestrian-friendly, with a collection of attractive buildings set around beautifully-designed and well-maintained public spaces in the heart of their respective downtowns – all with just the right mix of curated retail, restaurants and other businesses, and the addition of residential housing and office use.  Laura Budd and Tucker Murphy are Directors of the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce and for the last decade their jobs have been "to connect the community with commerce". When I want to know what merchants are thinking or where rents are moving, I ask them. So, of course we asked them to help us get the most out of this hour, to get to the bottom of the Future of Downtown. David A. Waldman is responsible for re-developing and managing over 800,000 square feet of office and retail space, primarily in downtown Westport. David founded David Adam Realty in 1991.

    Season 2: Episode 2:  Matt Leone, Chief Marketing Officer gets honest about branding. We ask the person responsible for building a "hip" Halstead brand, and now for reinventing the 150-year old Brown Harris Stevens brand, how does he build a 21st Century brand in an era where...

    Every Agent Thinks They Are Building a Personal Brand

    If every agent is supposed to be shooting videos, publishing on Instagram, and creatively writing a real-estate blog, where does the agent's corporate brand fit into all of that? Building a brand that makes sense of 2000+ individual agents, each with their own personality, is hard work. What does it take to build a brand representing thousands of very different agents across very different markets in 4 states? How can you be all things to all people? How do we know when the brand is successful versus individual agent success? What did you learn from creating the Halstead brand that applies (and does not apply) when considering the Brown Harris Stevens brand? How does a mostly New York City brand evolve to include high-end suburbs of Manhattan like the Hamptons, Miami, Montclair and Westport? 

    Our second guest is Chris Halstead, newly appointed in Connecticut as Executive Sales Director. We want to ask him many of these same questions from the perspective of someone charged with growing the suburban business. Following an initial career track in on the account management side for a leading global advertising agency, Chris transitioned to real estate in 2009, opting to carry the torch and continue to build upon the family legacy. Since that turning point, he has catapulted himself out of the gate and into the swift-paced NYC market. His star rose quickly and his professional acumen has already garnered him a seat at the table reserved for NYC’s “Top 5% Real Estate Producers.”  Now, responsible for the success of over 250 agents in Connecticut, he must  leverage what he's learned to make every one of those agents more successful. Chris, we want to know how does a successful New York agent make the transition to Connecticut? What is the biggest challenge your agents face? How are successful Connecticut agents adapting to a changing market in the post-covid era?

    Just a few of the topics we'd like to explore:

    - Let's explore corporate branding versus the personal branding of agents.

    - How do you establish consistent brand messaging across five states and then reinforce brand standards across 55 offices and over 2,300 agents?

    - Critical mass. How important is it to be a big firm with a global presence?

    - How do we measure the effectiveness of our real-estate branding?

    - Talk about the importance of brand partnerships, such as with the New York Yankees & Audi

    - Brown Harris Stevens was established in 1873. Why is that important when some of our newest competitors were only invented yesterday?

    This is our first show of Season 2 where we talk to Lisa Lippman and Rob Johnson, the top agents in New York and Connecticut to get at the truth behind what just happened in 2021 and where the market is heading in 2022. The last time we talked to these agents the New York Times was writing about "The Great Collapse of 2020" saying that "rent in Manhattan had fallen to a level not seen since 2010" blah, blah, blah. Well, a lot can happen in a year. The New York and Connecticut real estate markets have been vastly altered, some say permanently, as we emerge from the pandemic with new attitudes about housing and the economy. What can we believe? Let's ask two experts in the market. Lisa Lippman  has 37 listings right now, 5 of them over $10 million. Ranked #1 at Brown Harris Stevens most recently and for the last four years in a row — 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and consistently in the top 50 Brokers in the USA, she has been a top producing broker for over 23 years. Rob Johnson has 8 listings right now including the most expensive listing in New Canaan. He has been the top producing agent at Brown Harris Stevens in Greenwich for the last 3 years, as well as the top producing agent in all of Connecticut for Brown Harris Stevens in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

    Lisa Lippman  has 37 listings right now, 5 of them over $10 million. Ranked #1 at Brown Harris Stevens most recently and for the last four years in a row — 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and consistently in the top 50 Brokers in the USA, she has been a top producing broker for over 23 years.

    Rob Johnson has 8 listings right now including the most expensive listing in New Canaan. He has been the top producing agent at Brown Harris Stevens in Greenwich for the last 3 years, as well as the top producing agent in all of Connecticut for Brown Harris Stevens in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

    This is the one show you need to watch if you want an understanding of the 12 towns of lower Fairfield County. As people move in to Connecticut in record numbers to compete for fewer houses than ever before it is more important than ever to understand the value propositions that each town provides. Some of these towns promise the best public schools in America. Others offer an easy commute. Still others offer green space, fabulous parks and beaches, a quaint New England village or a wealth of diverse restaurants and shopping. And some towns are just more affordable. This week we ask two veterans of the Connecticut market, managers of the Westport, Wilton, Rowayton and Darien offices of Brown Harris Stevens. John and Robyn manage over 250 agents covering all of Fairfield County. We are very pleased to present John Dicenzo and Robyn Kammerer. John Dicenzo With nearly 25 years in real estate, John is Executive Director of Sales for Brown Harris Stevens' Westport and Wilton offices, leading a team of 44 agents, who serve the communities of middle and eastern Fairfield County.    Robyn Kammerer As the Executive Director of Sales of Darien and Rowayton, Robyn Kammerer works closely with Ned Saunders to direct and manage the two offices with more than ninety agents.  Did you know: Darien is New Canaan’s twin with a nearly identical population (21,742), median house value ($1.398 million), school population (4200) and median household income ($208,848). Darien’s schools are ranked #9 in the state and Darien is #13 best place to live.  Easton is a suburb of 7,607 people on 28.6 square miles (half of which is owned by the Aquarion Water Company) Easton gets an overall grade of A- by Niche with highly rated schools. Fairfield is the largest coastal town of 59,404 people on 31.3 square miles. There are 5 miles of coast on Long Island Sound. Greenwich is the largest and wealthiest town on Connecticut’s Gold Coast, 67.2 square miles with a total population of 61,171 people. Money Magazine ranked Greenwich #12 place to live in America.  New Canaan is a town of 20,357 people and is serviced by its own train line to Stamford and New York City. Niche rankes the schools #2 in Connecticut and #6 best place to live.  Norwalk is a coastal city of 88,438 people, the 6th most populous in Connecticut, in an area of 36.3 square miles. Norwalk gets high marks for diversity (#4) and as the #7 best suburb for a young professional to live in Connecticut. Redding is more woods and fewer people, the third fewest population density in the County. The population of 9,158 people live in 3,811 housing units across 32 square miles.  Ridgefield is a quaint New England town and beautiful Victorian era houses and mature trees line the main street. Ridgefield is ranked by Niche as the #8 best place to raise a family in Connecticut.  Rowayton is a seaside neighborhood within the city of Norwalk. Houses are close together on small lots. Commerce is limited to a handful of stores and restaurants including the Rowayton Market.  Stamford is a coastal city in Fairfield County of 52 square miles with a population of 131,000 making it the third largest city in the state behind Bridgeport and New Haven.  Weston is a quiet, rural suburb with a population of 10,369.

    Episode #27: Classic Architecture and High-Tech

    Before you designing and building your next house you might want to know what you're getting. You'll want to walk through the design and see every detail. That is now possible.  Join us today to see how Wadia & Associates are using technology to bring their ideas to life. We have Peter Michalsky from world-renowned Wadia & Associates on the show. Please join us in a conversation on the technologies that bring classic architecture to life.

    A flythrough of this Magnificent Greenwich Lakeside Estate. Click to see the full video. Since the establishment of Wadia Associates more than 45 years ago, Dinyar Wadia and his dedicated team of designers have earned a reputation for designing and building high-end homes, gardens, and interiors. Over the years, they have helped sculpt the local environment to become an important regional proponent of Classicism. Their skillful design sensibilities have provided a seamless fit of their traditionally-styled homes into the eclectic fabric of Fairfield County, Westchester County, Rhode Island, Southern California, Boulder, CO, and now, Florida. Although avowed New Classicists, Wadia Associates have a pluralistic approach to traditional design that is not rooted in a slavish imitation of the past. More appropriately, it is based upon reinterpreting the past and updating it for the present. And while all of their designs feature the classic proportions and exquisite details of houses from a bygone age, the firm is still able to incorporate all the amenities and needs of a modern American family. As Dinyar is fond of saying, “It is traditional architecture for the modern world.” Our guest is Peter Michalsky, Head of Marketing and Business Development for Wadia Associates. With over 40 years in the architect and planning industry, Wadia Associates has earned a reputation for designing and building high-end homes, gardens and interiors. When reputation is not enough, to win new business you need a technology edge. We asked Pete... Beyond using technology to communicate your designs, how else are you using technology in your projects? "Regarding tech, we’re also getting a lot of requests for interesting features. We just completed a recessed flat screen on a lift that rises out of the patio for a home on the water in Greenwich. We’re getting ton of requests for completely integrated home kits that incorporate security, HVAC, product automation, etc. We can expand on that with some interesting examples." "As for VHNW and UHNW, they are changing a bit. They are gravitating to bigger lots up here, with more outbuildings, guest quarters, sports complexes, and compound-like objectives. In Palm Beach, they are asking for more West Indies and Bermuda styles, because every other house is Mizner inspired Spanish/Moorish/Gothic styles and they want to be different. As classicists, we like both but we’re seeing a trend. Everyone wants the indoors and outdoors to blend seamlessly, which has been going on for some time, but it is the first thing they talk about."

    Episode #24  Hall Willkie and Mary Rutherford:  He's running the premium agency in New York. She sells the biggest apartments. This week 2 of the biggest names in New York Real Estate reflect on 5th Avenue, Park Avenue & Central Park West, the iconic buildings, and how these neighborhoods are changing. We'll ask them to talk about the market and peer into their crystal balls and give us their best predictions

    Mary Rutherford recently sold the penthouse at the Pierre for $44 million. She sold Princess Lee Radziwill's apartment in 2019, David Rockefeller's apartment in 2017 for $32 million and in 2014 she sold Edgar Bronfman Sr.'s penthouse for $70 million. 

    Brown Harris Stevens has been famous for selling the really, really fabulous apartments of New York for the last 150 years. Hall Willkie and Mary Rutherford have been major reasons for that success for the last 38 years. Mary started in the business in 1983 and is an example of the super-agent who sells the very best. Hall has been the President of Brown Harris Stevens for 32 years. He manages 1100 agents and has built the largest privately held firm in the New York tri-state market, selling more than $9 billion in real estate in 2019. Therefore, as New York undergoes massive changes as a result of the pandemic and shifting political winds we decided to catch up with these two icons of New York Real Estate and ask them to reflect and to predict.  

    Some of what we were wondering when considering

     5th Avenue, Park Avenue & Central Park West:

    What was the perception of the major buildings back in the day? 

    How have those perceptions evolved?

    Talk to us about the great architects and how they impact value.

    Emery Roth & Rosaria Candela? 

    Is there anything that is unique to either? 

    What were their differences? 

    Who were other prominent architects? 

    How important was ceiling height then and now?

    As ceiling heights descended, they reflect a timeline that led us straight into the 1960s at 8 feet. Who thought that was a good idea? Why did that happen? Was it considered chic? Let's talk about the 14 feet ceilings of The Dakota to the 8 feet "white elephants". Staff quarters were very important and an essential part of every large apartment and in the largest apartments there were multiple staff quarters (see 640 Park below). Today it would be rare to see a staff room (or live-in nanny room) in new condo construction design. You are more likely see a completely separate staff apartment and if so, it would only be one apartment, and would only happen at the super luxury level. Will that ever come back into the floorplans of the future? Take 640 Park Avenue – full floor units – 18 rooms 6 baths 4/5 Master Bathrooms 7 servants rooms (yes 7) made up of: - 4 “servant’s rooms” - 1 “butler room” - 1 “second man” room - And a “servant’s hall”

    Why is 740 Park so iconic? 

    How have the past 10 years had an effect on these properties? 

    Lets talk about the restrictive (no) financing policy. 

    Is that still necessary? Will it disappear? 

    These are just some topics which I think would be fun and interesting to incorporate, but we'll follow this conversation wherever it naturally leads.

    These "Super Houses"  in the NYC metro area are considered super-premium in virtually all of the rest of the world. These houses are incredibly complicated projects involving design professionals, engineers, and hundreds of workers and craftsmen across more than forty various trades. They can take years to complete and tens of millions of dollars to create. Scheduling delays raise costs and prevent clients from enjoying their investment. Lack of business acumen and experience can allow budgets to get out control for even the wealthiest of clients. Hiring great professionals to manage this complex process minimizes the chances of these issues while maximizing the possibility that creating an stunning home can actually be an amazing experience.

    The Best Real Estate Videos in New York City with Mikey Pozarik and Chris Kromer Video can be a compelling tool to sell property, but most are overwhelmingly intimidated to use it. Let's change that narrative. What are the must-do's and frankly the never-do's? We have Christopher Kromer who takes storytelling to the next level and Mikey "sure, we can do that" Pozarik, a genius behind the camera making videos for innumerable brokers. We will circle this wagon multiple times to see how to best use the medium for all brokers. About our guests: 👤 Mikey Pozarik is one of the finest videographers and photographers in the business. He is the go-to storyteller for real estate agents who want to tell a better story through video. His client list includes all of the best real estate agents and many of the finest restaurants in New York City. Don't expect a lot of copy on his website, however, Mikey likes to let the work speak for itself. I found 332 of his videos on VIMEO and they are for the most part beautiful, stylized and stylish portraits of New York and the people who make it great. 👤 Christopher Kromer makes a great first impression. He is likable, funny, and very smart. Dig a little deeper and you start to realize that here is a talented young real estate professional who has mastered the fine art of listening — a skill that stands him in great stead in his most demanding chosen field. While Christopher is justly proud of this ability, what he gives in return is a hefty dose of honesty, forthrightness, and professionalism. Whether it's working closely with buyers to help them find just the right home and to negotiate the most advantageous deal, or working side by side with sellers to effectively market their homes to the most qualified buyers, his priority is to provide the utmost level of personalized service to his clients. He worked as a financial consultant with Ernst & Young LLP for three years, a background that equips him well for the intricate and often complicated deals that characterize the tricky waters of the New York City real estate market. He particularly enjoys sharing his personal knowledge and analysis with first-time buyers with whom he continues to build and maintain strong and mutually rewarding relationships. This, he asserts, is the best part of his job! A multi-dimensional human being, Christopher is a former classical pianist who has played at Carnegie Hall. In his spare time, he continues to devote himself to the arts: as an actor, he has created lead roles Off-Broadway; currently, he hosts the television show “Cool in your Code” on NYC-TV, a hip neighborhood “Infotainment” show that explores New York City from the inside out; and devotees of HGTV will enjoy seeing him on their nationally aired special, “25 Biggest Real Estate Mistakes.”  John Engel in Connecticut and Roberto Cabrera in New York. host a weekly wide-ranging zoom conversation with real estate experts from around our area.

    The Pendulum Shifts & Timing is Everything

    Since there are NO deals in the Hamptons, focus on Manhattan before the pendulum fully swings back to sellers. Timing becomes one of the most crucial factors. Everybody always asks, “How’s the market?” Because Manhattan is segmented into so many micro-markets, a Tribeca loft versus a midtown high-rise condo versus an Upper West Side townhouse or an Upper East Side studio etc….this question is too vague and has a multiplicity of answers. Generally though, the market’s on fire; demand is outpacing supply. Sellers have become more realistic, which has become an invitation for buyers to join the party. Buyers too have realized there is middle ground; that 50% off sale they anticipated never happened. This engagement between both parties is infectious and has resulted in deals….many deals. Deal volume in February was up over 30% as compared to February 2020 (which if you remember was a pre-covid volume). Activity has been most robust in the lower price points; 70+% of all deals are occurring below $2M and 85% below $3M. The luxury market, loosely defined as the top 5% of all inventory (approx. $5M and up), which had been sluggish, is catching up. We are seeing numbers which reflect far busier times like in 2015 & 2016.   Whereas it is still a buyers’ market, the pendulum has shifted direction. Like never before, virtually every metric is in the buyer’s favor. One of my industry colleagues, a head of one of the major firms, said, “If you're not a buyer in THIS market, you are simply not a buyer.” It is my opinion, that the past 8 months have been the single greatest buying opportunity in Manhattan, that I have witnessed in my 23 year career. Never have so many metrics lined up for buyers, all at the same time. Let’s compare where we are now to some of the other great historical buying opportunities during that time. Note: if you are not a buyer, please disregard what I have to say, as I am not pressuring you to buy; however, for those who do want to buy, you will find this interesting. These great buying opportunities most often follow catastrophic events. Let’s take the 4-5 months post-Sept 11th and the 12 months following the collapse of Lehman Bros. in 2008/9. Whereas those were incredible opportunities, consider that in 2001, inventory was still very lean, so the supply-side of “the supply & demand principle” was still tight. And consider that interest rates were 6-6.5%. Right now we are sub 3%. I want you to look at the table in the "Mortgages & Interest Rates" section of this newsletter, to truly understand the impact of even 1 percentage point in interest rates. It's shocking. In post-Lehman Bros. 2008/9 inventory and interest rates were less of an issue than in 2001, as there was more inventory but interest rates were still at 5-6%. The biggest factor then was liquidity. There was no money; people struggled to get financing.

    For buyers today, not only is inventory ample (meaning choices), sentiment on the seller’s side has been poor (meaning negotiability) and interest rates are near all-time lows, 3% or less for a 30 year jumbo loan. However, the pendulum on virtually all three of these metrics is starting to change course. Although there is 10% more overall inventory than last year at this time, that number is contracting. Again, not because apartments aren’t coming on the market, but because deal volume is outpacing that incoming supply; it’s essentially musical chairs for Manhattan apartments. While prices have not yet increased, it is precisely this deal activity which is beginning to give sellers a bit more resolve (meaning they are becoming less and less negotiable). And the big one is interest rates; they are slowly rising. This factor will affect the whole marketplace, as it reduces purchasing power. So if you are a buyer, the ge

    This week The Real Deal reports that the "Manhattan luxury market sees another strong week" Architectural Digest says "New York is Officially the World's Wealthiest City for Real Estate"  Mansion Global says, "Manhattan's Luxury Market Notches Strongest 3-Week Streak in 6 Years" And the New York Post said, "Luxury apartments holding steady in Manhattan, folding in Queens" Is the luxury market back, or is it simply heading in the right direction? This week we ask two of the top agents in the Manhattan luxury market to unpack these headlines and tell us what's really going on. If anybody is going to give it to us straight, its these two agents.  You've met Louise Philips Forbes on the show twice before. We love "Weze's" high energy and her broad knowledge of luxury properties from the West Village to the Upper East Side. She runs the #17 team in New York, is currently listing 24 properties including two over $10 million and has another 6 currently under contract. I guarantee if we say something outrageous or just wrong then "Weze" will call us out on it. Daniella Schlisser is a bona-fide super-producer, currently ranked #52 among all New York agents, with 16 luxury properties including two over $10 million and has another 2 under contract. She's fluent in 5 languages (but we're going to stick to English this week)  Daniella, can you say "New York is back" five different ways? Daniella G. Schlisser  For the last 20 years, Daniella Schlisser has been recognized as an industry expert representing some of the finest properties in New York City luxury real estate.

    This week The Real Deal reports that the "Manhattan luxury market sees another strong week"

    Architectural Digest says "New York is Officially the World's Wealthiest City for Real Estate" 

    Mansion Global says, "Manhattan's Luxury Market Notches Strongest 3-Week Streak in 6 Years"

    And the New York Post said, "Luxury apartments holding steady in Manhattan, folding in Queens"

    Is the luxury market back, or is it simply heading in the right direction?

    This week we ask two of the top agents in the Manhattan luxury market to unpack these headlines and tell us what's really going on. If anybody is going to give it to us straight, its these two agents. 

    You've met Louise Philips Forbes on the show twice before. We love "Weze's" high energy and her broad knowledge of luxury properties from the West Village to the Upper East Side. She runs the #17 team in New York, is currently listing 24 properties including two over $10 million and has another 6 currently under contract. I guarantee if we say something outrageous or just wrong then "Weze" will call us out on it.

    Daniella Schlisser is a bona-fide super-producer, currently ranked #52 among all New York agents, with 16 luxury properties including two over $10 million and has another 2 under contract. She's fluent in 5 languages (but we're going to stick to English this week)  Daniella, can you say "New York is back" five different ways?

    Daniella G. Schlisser 
    For the last 20 years, Daniella Schlisser has been recognized as an industry expert representing some of the finest properties in New York City luxury real estate. Migrating her business to Brown Harris Stevens in 2014, Daniella continues to enhance her reputation for success, consistently earning recognitions such as "Most Deals of the Month" and ranking within the top 15 agents at the firm.

    This Thursday we talk to Techrin Hijazi, fresh off both sides of a $10 million Star Island sale followed by her $14 million sale of a Miami penthouse. Then, we get a taste of L.A. with  Gary Gold, a legend in the Los Angeles market who recently set a record in Brentwood at $25.8 million, sold the Playboy mansion for $100 million, and then broke his own record with Chartwell, the Beverly Hillbillies mansion, for $150 million. Techrin Hijazi – an accomplished, tenacious, and award-winning Broker Associate – is back in Miami and bringing her real estate prowess to Brown Harris Stevens! Aligning herself with BHS’ Jeff Cohen, Toni Schrager and under the leadership of Vivian Dimond, Techrin utilizes her relationship with these real estate visionaries to further connect buyers and sellers globally. Techrin, pronounced "Tishreen," specializes in residential waterfront real estate with a concentration in commercial investments. Recognized for her chiseled negotiation skills, unwavering discretion and high tech, soft touch approach to client care, she is a real estate powerhouse that has made a name for herself. Entering the real estate market as an investor in 1994, she had the intuitiveness to find value in unknown, highly undervalued communities. Today, these properties – on Edgewater Drive and in the Santa Maria Building – are thriving in some of the most appreciated real estate markets. That same insight, coupled with a contagious passion for South Florida real estate and unyielding drive for client success, has become the cornerstone for her thriving career. A Realtor since 2003, she began her career with Sotheby's International Realty, brokering hundreds of luxury and waterfront properties in the most exclusive communities in Miami including Indian Creek, Star Island, and Gables Estates. Nationally recognized for her lead role in TLC's "Million Dollar Agents,"Techrin’s exposure and pipeline of high net worth clients soared following the show’s success. Incredibly passionate and persistent about real estate, coupled with a flair for art appreciation and consultation thanks to her husband and renowned Art Gallery owner, Techrin Hijazi continues to lead the luxury real estate market and is the go-to Broker for buyers, sellers and investors alike.

    Gary Gold is a marquee name in luxury real estate and his sale of The Playboy Mansion sets a record as the first residence to sell over $100,000,000 in Los Angeles. This achievement was eclipsed by Gary’s recent sale of the famed Chartwell Estate for $150,000,000. Gary is also one of its most successful trend setting agents. He’s an internationally recognized expert known for his creative use of technology, marketing and publicity to sell some of the finest homes in the world. Gary is further distinguished by the rare ability to secure high net worth, qualified buyers from digital marketing. This success, year after year, continues to produce a steady stream of buyers from not only the Los Angeles area, but throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Gary has sold thousands of estates and luxury properties over the course of his career. High-end developers have consistently relied on Gary’s broad expertise on projects ranging from luxury condominium developments to major estates. He is a sought after speaker, panelist and educator at industry conferences. Gary has been cited as an expert for publications and broadcasts that include CNN, Fortune, Barron’s, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Access Hollywood, CBS Evening News, e! Entertainment Television and The London Telegraph. Gary Gold began his career in real estate over 30 years ago and has been a top producer with Hilton & Hyland since its inception.  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL

    Please join us this week for "The Creative Show" where we talk to Christina Roughan and Whitney Kraus, two designers who approach the business of design from completely opposite places. Whitney Kraus designs spaces for a future owners she might never meet. She is part of the new development team planning multi-family projects. Whitney has to predict how design is going to set it apart when it finally comes to market. Her clients build new buildings or renovate old ones and rely on Whitney to know what the buyers of those apartments will want years in advance.  Christina Roughan in contrast, is about high-end custom design. She knows her clients and designs for them across a great range of properties. She is equally comfortable designing for her client's country estates in The Hamptons, Telluride and Connecticut, apartments and townhouses in NY, LA, and London and personal luxury yachts in Italy as well as high-end corporate and hospitality properties. Christina Roughan - Roughan (pronounced ROWAN) is the international design firm of acclaimed interior designer Christina S. Roughan. Designing since 1994, Christina’s vast experience and keen eye has enabled her to create warm, sophisticated interiors that are timeless and tailored while remaining friendly and approachable. Christina believes that interiors are to be lived in and reflect the people who reside in the space. “Every interior should be functional while remaining aesthetically purposeful and elegant.” Roughan’s design portfolio is known for deft combinations of texture and subtle color while combining modern traditional accents to create livable, crisp interiors. She has designed interiors throughout the world and her client range is as diverse as their locations. With a reputation for listening carefully to the needs of clients, attention to detail, and discretion, Roughan has become a favorite of international celebrities as well as design editors at Interior Design magazine, House Beautiful, Elle Décor, CT Cottages & Gardens and AtHome Magazine to name a few. Christina lives with her husband and two daughters in a 200-year-old house in Weston, CT, which is, no surprise, in a constant state of renovation.

     

    Whitney Kraus - Director of Architecture & Planning, BHS Development Marketing  Whitney is responsible for guiding the design vision and execution for all developments. Combining architecture and design insights with project management expertise, she works directly with developers and their design teams to offer project specific recommendations and advise throughout the design and marketing phases. In her role, Whitney recommends potential collaborations with architects and designers, assists in feasibility, zoning, and massing studies; and helps guide direction on unit mix, floorplan layouts, finishes, amenity programming and sales gallery layouts.  Whitney is a registered architect in New York and holds a U.S. Green Building Council LEED-AP certification. She joined the BHSDM team after serving as Project Architect at Selldorf Architects, where she worked on residential developments, high-end private residences, retail, and commercial buildings. She was responsible for development and delivery of drawings in all design phases, daily management of architectural team members, and coordination with consultants and contractors. She oversaw projects for the William Macklowe Company, CBSK Ironstate, Gagosian Gallery, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Hauser & Wirth, Yves Saint Lauren, and Aman Resorts. Whitney has a Master of Architecture from Yale University and Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan. Originally from North Carolina, Whitney currently resides in Gramercy Park.

By October there was newfound optimism based on the vaccines being approved, but plenty of anxiety related to the election. Now, with the election behind us, we need an update from Greg Heym on the state of the market in New York.

What is the current state of luxury real estate in New Jersey post-election? 2. You have two offices, Montclair and Hoboken to service all of Essex and Hudson counties. Where exactly is the luxury market in New Jersey and what makes those areas particularly valuable?  3. What has changed for New Jersey residents interested in selling their homes in the last year since the pandemic? How much of a shortage of inventory are you experiencing and what is it going to take for the market to be more balanced? 4. What are New Yorkers looking for and are they finding it? 5. Is there a fear that the music is going to stop and demand will subside? 6. This is an election year in New Jersey. What are some of the issues on the ballot this year? Is the upcoming election affecting the market or is it too soon to tell? About Boroughs & Burbs: We host a weekly wide-ranging zoom conversation with real estate experts from around our area.

    2. You have two offices, Montclair and Hoboken to service all of Essex and Hudson counties. Where exactly is the luxury market in New Jersey and what makes those areas particularly valuable? 

    3. What has changed for New Jersey residents interested in selling their homes in the last year since the pandemic? How much of a shortage of inventory are you experiencing and what is it going to take for the market to be more balanced?

    4. What are New Yorkers looking for and are they finding it?

    5. Is there a fear that the music is going to stop and demand will subside?

    6. This is an election year in New Jersey. What are some of the issues on the ballot this year? Is the upcoming election affecting the market or is it too soon to tell?

    About Boroughs & Burbs:

    We host a weekly wide-ranging zoom conversation with real estate experts from around our area. We are joined by various guests each week, hosted by John Engel in Connecticut and Roberto Cabrera in New York.

    This week we talk to Lisa Lippman and Curtis Jackson, two of the top agents in New York (and she's #14 in the nation) to get at the truth behind what just happened in 2020 and where is it heading. The New York Times just wrote about "The Great Collapse of 2020" saying that "rent in Manhattan had fallen to a level not seen since 2010, and hundreds of the must vulnerable renters faced the prospect of eviction..." comparing the situation to the Great Recession, "when prices fell nearly 10 percent" The Real Deal wrote in "A Garbage Year, The State of Manhattan's Luxury Resi Market in 2020" that contracts declined by 31% and "though the market later rallied, it wasn't enough to get close to the 935 contracts signed in 2019" Meanwhile, Fortune writes that "New York's luxury real estate market should enter 2021 with confidence" and Inman wrote 4 hours ago "this city is poised to become the hottest real estate market of 2021" What can we believe? We ask the experts in the market. Lisa Lippman is one of the The Wall Street Journal top 20 agents in the country (every year) and has sold $43 million of real estate in New York since June when the market opened back up. Curtis Jackson has been named by New York Magazine as one of the top 20 brokers in Manhattan. Lisa Lippman has done 10 deals totaling almost $42,000,000 since the NYC real estate market re-opened on June 22nd. Ranked #1 at Brown Harris Stevens most recently and for the last four years in a row — 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and consistently in the top 50 Brokers in the USA, she has been a top producing broker for over 23 years. Our second guest, Curtis Jackson specializes in the Upper East Side and Upper West Side and also has deep familiarity with Downtown's many exciting established and evolving neighborhoods. He believes New York City offers enduring value as a result of its strength as a globally recognized center of culture and commerce, and enjoys helping his clients make the most of its dynamic real estate market. Since Curtis joined Brown Harris Stevens in 2004, the firm has named him Listing Broker Of The Year for the Upper East Side Office five times and has named him Broker of the Year for the Upper East Side Office six times, most recently in 2015. In addition, New York Magazine has named him one of the Top 20 Brokers in Manhattan.  About Boroughs & Burbs: Roberto Cabrera - With 20 years of experience, I have been recognized throughout the industry for achieving outstanding results: Ranked nationally by REAL Trends as one of "America's Best Real Estate Agents” for avg. sales price of $4.350M. Sold a single family Townhouse faster than any other on the Upper West Side over $10M. I live with my wife and daughter on the Upper West Side, the neighborhood I have called home for the past 23 years.  John Engel - John Engel is a consistently top-producing agent in Fairfield County, Connecticut. John recently won the 2019 Realtor of the Year Award in New Canaan where he is currently the Chairman of the Town Council. John also brings an insight into internet-based marketing that is unsurpassed. Before going into real estate he was the founder of two successful internet businesses, Paper.com and e-Media for which he won the prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year Award. John spent his earliest years in Stuyvesant Town (before it was cool) and finished his growing up in New Canaan before attending Davidson College in North Carolina. After graduating, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army and spent some time leading a military intelligence platoon on the front lines of the first Gulf War. He currently lives in New Canaan with his wife Melissa and four children. In addition to hosting this podcast on the market each week, John Engel produces an easy-to-understand and in-dept

    The Value of High Style The Value of High Style is where we talk to a top designer and a top art collector, two men who make their living knowing the difference between good and great, as we try and understand the relationship of great design with real estate.  

    John Barman has been honored as one of the AD100 by Architectural Digest, one of “The City’s Best 100 Architects and Designers” by New York Magazine, and his work has been featured in the New York Times, Esquire, Interior Design, Traditional Home, and W, among other publications. His renowned clientele includes Wynton Marsalis, George Stephanopoulos and Alexandra Wentworth, Leonard and Allison Stern, Bryant Gumbel, Stone Phillips, Neil Simon, and Larry Silverstein. Barman was born and raised in New York City, and graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania before turning to interior design and founding his eponymous firm. Our second guest, Richard Grossman, is best known as the President of Brown Harris Stevens where he manages all of the regional offices. What most people don't know about Richard is that he is a collector and expert in the subjects of midcentury modern architecture, contemporary and midcentury modern furniture and contemporary art at the very highest levels. We've all heard of the mythical Ferrari in the barn stories. Richard lives that myth. He and his husband Adam discovered a long- abandoned and crumbling apartment in the famed midcentury-modern Butterfield House, purchased it and undertook an extensive 2-year restoration. He has promised to give us a glimpse of the apartment during the show. What I want to know from Richard is where is the line between doing it for the passion versus making a wise investment? What is the value of a name brand architect or a name-brand designer? How has that changed? We want to understand Richard's process of choosing architects and designers, what went right, and what can we learn from his experience. Lastly, I want to point out a recent story in the Wall Street Journal that quotes Richard entitled, Custom Art is Helping High-End Homeowners Paint a Clearer Picture where he is quoted as saying, “Art by a well-known artist can also lend a cachet to the property, which is particularly important in higher-end listings . . .

    Christopher Peacock is a very big deal. I thought he was just a kitchen designer. He is a lot more than that. He is an international brand with 11 showrooms across the USA, Cannes, France and Jakarta, Indonesia. According to a New York Times feature on the business his company installs over 210 kitchens and 100 or so mud rooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, libraries, wine tasting rooms and butler’s pantries. They credit Peacock for the now 20-year-old trend in white kitchens. We sat down with Christopher for a frank zoom conversation about his brand, the industry, and the impact of kitchen design on real estate in the New York tri-state area. HISTORY: Christopher began his career in London before stops at the Boston Design Center and the Architects and Design Building in New York before opening a showroom in Greenwich in 1992. We'lI want to hear about the evolution of the brand over these 40 years, from man designing to multinational presence.  BRAND DIFFERENTIATION: What is “hand-crafted British cabinetry” and what makes a Peacock design special? What's special about a $185,000 kitchen?  SUSTAINABILITY: Let’s talk materials and sustainability. The world has changed since he began in the business and a great deal more attention is being paid to where we source our woods and the sustainability of old-growth forests. How has this affected the industry, both in terms of what customers are demanding and how you’re responding?  THE SHOWROOMS: Why is it important to have 9 showrooms in the USA and two overseas? What is the best way to experience the brand to appreciate the difference?  HIGH POINTS: You mention working for the Clintons private residence in Chappaqua, NY. What was that like? I imagine they need a lot of bookcases. Maybe a special cabinet for Bill’s saxophone?  BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS: How do you work with architects and builders. I would imagine that most architects say I don’t need a separate designer for my kitchen and baths. How does a specialist like yourself work with builders and architects?  TRENDS: How is the business changing since the pandemic began? How are tastes changing generally?  ECONOMICS: Let’s talk about what makes a kitchen or bath a “good value” or an “investment” in the home. 10 items Christopher Peacock said clients have asked for but don't often use: - Pot-filling faucet  - Pantry dishwasher  - Pantry refrigerator - Kitchen desk  - Trash compactor  - Large microwave  - Rangetop grill  - Two-tier island countertops  - Large island  - Appliance garage 10 items Christopher Peacock said we don't think to ask for, but should consider: - Refrigerator and Freezer Drawers - Two dishwashers  - Warming drawers  - Small microwave  - Bookshelves  - Tray storage  - Roll-out drawers  - Message center  - Marble countertops  - Wood countertops

"I want to buy that house but should I be concerned it is in a flood zone?"

Chubb Insurance is a firm that has built a reputation for going all the way for their clients. What does all the way mean? I found on the Chubb website that they "will pay to have your home repaired or rebuilt to its original condition - even if the cost exceeds your policy limit". It makes me wonder how can they afford to do that? We are going to ask John some key questions about what do we need to know about insurance for ourselves and our clients especially these days.

    Our second guest, Phil Horigan, is the founder of LeaseBreak.com, the source of short-term furnished rentals in New York City. Before Leasebreak hit the scene in 2013, furnished short term rentals were also very difficult to find because there was no one place people could go to see the thousands of available furnished short term rentals at any given time. You had to look on multiple websites in order to find temporary housing, or ask every landlord if they would allow furnished short term rentals (95% said no). Leasebreak’s job is to provide one marketplace for all of these furnished short term rentals along with rooms for rent, leasebreaks, and sublets. Not only does Phil help you find a place, he helps you break your lease so you can go get a better place with your favorite realtor. About Boroughs & Burbs: We are excited to share with you our weekly wide-ranging zoom conversation with real estate experts from around our area. We will be joined by various guests each week, hosted by John Engel in Connecticut and Roberto Cabrera in New York.

    This week on the show we get back to our roots, New York and Connecticut, with a top agent in each market.  Mike Lubin is unquestionably one of the brightest stars in New York real estate for the past decade. Ranked by the Wall Street Journal as #12 in New York City and #135 in the nation for sales volume, he sells real estate at the very highest levels. You'll see over 335 co-op and condominium sales on his website, and his 34 current listings range from $7.7 million townhouse in Chelsea to a fresh one bedroom in the West Village for $450,000. (dang, already under contract!)  What I want to know from Mike is how do you differentiate in the nations largest and most competitive market? Amanda Spatola is one of the top agents in what has in one year become one of the top markets in the area, Darien and Rowayton on Connecticut's Gold Coast. Coming out of the investment banking industry is it any wonder that she comes at the real estate industry with such an analytical eye. We have a lot of new agents watching the call and many of us are wondering what is her secret sauce: how has she become such a success in such a relatively short period of time? In addition to asking these two agents about their particular paths to success, we want to know about the current state of the market, specifically: Mike Lubin, which demographic do you see the most movement so far? Empty-nesters? Young families? Pied-a-terre buyers? Etc. Where are they going? And where are they going to? Are the moves temporary or permanent? For the most part, we all understand the benefits of the “upgrade” trade; however, since the rental market is SO depressed in New York (more so than the sale market), have you seen anyone cashing out to temporarily rent, while they wait to capitalize on that upgrade later? To be in a more liquid position and/or not having to sell in order to buy later? Are there neighborhoods where you are seeing more movement than others? Has that created opportunity? Where are the best opportunities for value, in your mind? New development? How risky is it to buy in a new development that is less than 50% sold? Do you see any new developments in jeopardy of wiping out their equity? If so, would a substantial pricing adjustment follow? If so, how will that affect the others? Is there any urgency right now? Amanda Spatola, talk to us about the "upgrade" trade in Connecticut. Historically one-third of buyers were trading up into the Darien market from less expensive towns in the area, one third were cross-town moves upsizing and downsizing and one third were from out of the area. Maybe those ratios have been disrupted? Now, with diminished inventory levels and rising prices are you seeing some of those buyers getting priced out of the market? Are builders stepping up to meet the demand? Is the pandemic changing how people view the Darien and Rowayton markets? With ridership levels down, has the easy commute become a relatively less important consideration versus other factors? Is the public school a major driver for demand? I've read your blog about the Effectiveness of Open Houses, (written in 2019) How has your thinking changed in a year of no open houses? How do you feel the pandemic and lack of inventory has changed how realtors will go to market this Spring?  This was one of our best shows yet. Both of these markets are at a crossroads. Buyers and sellers are feeling anxious because they haven't seen a market like this in a long time. Builders are asking what does the new buyer want. Sellers are asking if the effects of the pandemic will be short lived.

    Brooklyn is New York's most populous borough, and Queens is the largest, but is it fair to say Palm Beach has overtaken Manhattan as New York's most expensive and exclusive borough? 

    Home to only 8,348 people (and 30 billionaires) Palm Beach is definitely in a class of its own.  The average property sells for more than $7 million. This year, during the high season (October to March) Palm Beach recorded $671 million in sales, up from $253 million in the same period one year before. The record-breaking $111 million sale of one home in December may just be the beginning of a new gilded age. John Lennon's former estate is back on the market for $47 million, double what it sold for only 4 years ago. And then in March the virus struck and sent the Palm Beach market reeling. But, two months later this second-home market had clearly found its feet and was poised to make a full recovery. So, now what?

    Can Palm Beach real estate continue at this pace or is it due for a correction? What will be the effect when Palm Beach's most famous resident leaves office? We want to really understand the Palm Beach real estate market, its relationship to New York City, and how it has changed in the last few years so we are turning to the top agent in that market, Whitney McGurk.

    This week on the show we have 4 of the most talented interior designers in the greater New York area. I mean really top-drawer talent. We want to know from the very best designers about how they are thinking about the market for 2021.  Let's discuss the intersection of designers and realtors, architects, builders and buyers.  How can top designers and real estate professionals help one another where it is mutually beneficial? Sometimes realtors need fast design, just enough style in order to sell it. So, how is staging different from styling? What room usually bothers the clients most? How can the designers help? Let's talk about design as a good investment. Is great design measurable? I see well-designed houses selling for 50% more than Zillow says its worth. Let's talk interior design as investment. Let's talk about the amateurs. I suspect that a lot of us try and save money and simply do it ourselves, copying the work of great designers. What separates the very best in the business from the amateurs? How has the business changed since Covid? What is the silver lining?  This week's show is Lisa Ben-Isvy's idea and she'll be co-hosting with us. Lisa is the former publisher of New York Spaces and now has her own business connecting top interior designers, architects & realtors. John Barman - John Barman has been honored as one of the AD100 by Architectural Digest, one of “The City’s Best 100 Architects and Designers” by New York Magazine, and his work has been featured in the New York Times, Esquire, Interior Design, Traditional Home, and W, among other publications. His renowned clientele includes Wynton Marsalis, George Stephanopoulos and Alexandra Wentworth, Leonard and Allison Stern, Bryant Gumbel, Stone Phillips, Neil Simon, and Larry Silverstein.  Denise Davies - As D2's founder and CEO, Denise leads the design and product teams at D2Interieurs and is personally an avid collector of mid-century modern art, artifacts, and furniture. Prior to launching D2 in 2010, Denise had a 20 year career as a fashion executive in New York City, Los Angeles, and Florence. An active member of the design community in Fairfield County, Denise has expanded the D2 portfolio to include over 75 residences in New York City, Easthampton, Southampton, Fairfield and Litchfield Counties as well as throughout New York's historic Hudson Valley and most recently South Florida.  John Douglas Eason - John honed his unique aesthetic in the style obsessed culture of Dallas – Fort Worth. The dramatic interiors of his youth sampled freely from historic styles and imbued John with a broad design vocabulary. In his first decade as an interior designer, John developed refined and richly crafted spaces while working on the grand homes of Greenwich, Connecticut. John’s longstanding Manhattan-based practice has enabled him to work closely with clients over the years, evolving with them as their homes and families change and grow. At the core of John’s work lies a sophisticated modern sensibility, tempered by respect for traditional design.  Anjali Pollack  - New York based interior design firm Anjali Pollack Design was established in 2004. Since inception our goal has been to make each home entirely personal. Every project is a close collaboration between us and our clients; every space is tailored to the needs and aesthetic of those who will call it home. We create modern classic homes for the global traveler to live. Our aesthetic incorporates diverse styles to evoke an ambience that is subtly lavish, eclectic and intriguing. Making bold use of color, blending traditional and modern, our homes are vibrant, livable spaces.

    This week we have only ONE GUEST, the finest real estate mind in New York, Chief Economist Greg Heym. Today, we think we can pin Greg down on exactly what he sees in his crystal ball.

    10 Questions we asked ask New York's top economist: 

    1.  Consumer confidence rose in September (101.8) and fell a smidge in October (100.9) Heading into a "second wave" how strong is confidence now and how strong a predictor is consumer confidence in our Spring market?

    2.  After 4 straight months of growth sales of new single-family homes fell 3.5% in September. (But, sales are 32% higher than a year ago and 24% higher than January's pre-coronavirus high.) Why are you predicting continued strong growth?

    3.  Initial claims for unemployment fell to 787,000, the lowest level since March 14th, and continuing claims fell by 1 million to 8.37 million, down by 4.37 million from a month ago. New York's claims fell by 9,902 to 56,483. What does this tell you about the timing of the New York City real estate recovery?

    4.  Existing home sales rose 9.4% in September and 20.9% higher than a year ago. Median sales prices rose 14.8% to an all-time high and inventory has reached a record low of 2.7 months inventory. Homebuilders are ramping up production and permits hit a 13-year high in September. Why is this sustainable? Why aren't you calling this a bubble?

    5.  Mortgages. CNBC reports today to forget fixed rate mortgages, go for the ARM given that the long term interest rate trend is downward and the average length of ownership is 8.5 years. Do you agree with this advice? 

    6.  Dr. Fauci says even with a vaccine, masks and social distancing will continue until 2022. Talk to us about the impact to New York's economy given the importance of the entertainment industry, hospitality, sports teams and as an airline and cruise ship hub. 

    7.  Talk to us about the pied-a-terre tax. It's back on the table. Isn't this just affecting rich people, a way to get them to pay their fair share to balance a $30 billion deficit in New York? What are the long-term implications of this tax on the New York economy?

    8.  New York's MTA is weighing service cuts as they finance $3 billion in debt and wait for a $12 billion federal bailout. What are your predictions for New York and the national economy if the bailout does not come through?

    9.  Parts of Connecticut have become some of the hottest real estate markets in the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Is the Connecticut recovery dependent on New York's struggles or will they recover together? 

    10.  What is going to be the immediate effect of a Presidential election on the New York real estate market? Are we guaranteed growth after the uncertainty passes?

    ]]>     Send us a text This week we have only ONE GUEST, the finest real estate mind in New York, Chief Economist Greg Heym. Today, we think we can pin Greg down on exactly what he sees in his crystal ball. 10 Questions we asked ask New York's top economist: 1. Consumer confidence rose in September (101.8) and fell a smidge in October (100.9) Heading into a "second wave" how strong is confidence now and how strong a predictor is consumer confidence in our Spring market? 2.

    Last month (April 2020) 30,000 people opened the Market Report. One reader took offense that I used the word "exodus" to describe the current imbalance in the markets. Exodus is not debatable. The question is whether the trend is temporary during the pandemic or something more permanent. In Connecticut we are seeing a healthy number of transactions despite a sharp decrease in the levels of inventory. 12 of the 16 markets we are tracking improved despite the April lockdown, despite a massive contraction in inventory. I wanted an opportunity to challenge some of what we're reading in the press. So, I hosted a panel discussion among experts to talk about this "Boroughs to the Burbs" phenomenon. I was  joined by:

    - Greg Heym, Chief Economist at Terra Holdings; member of the New York City Advisory Panel 

    - Steve Kliegerman, superagent, and head of  Development Marketing for Brown Harris Stevens 

    - Jayme Stevenson, 5-term top elected official for the Town of Darien, nominee for Lt Governor

    - Scott Hobbs, super-luxury custom builder in NYC, the Hamptons, Rhode Island & Connecticut

    - Arnold Karp, developer selling 100 luxury apartments and 12 homes across Fairfield County

    I wanted to ask my experts how the pandemic has affected their outlook on the market. I asked Jayme Stevenson about changing priorities and her plans to keep Darien on top in the State. I asked Arnold Karp whether he's still bullish about his $80 million bet on luxury apartments in New Canaan or will he begin developing his lakefront lots. I asked Scott Hobbs whether there's anybody still living in their fabulous penthouse apartments or are they refocusing their energy and money out of the city? I asked chief economist Greg Heym about Manhattan's 22% drop in inventory and if this time is different from recession of 2009. And, finally I asked Steve Kliegerman whether the bloom is off the rose, whether his clients, the city's top developers, are pulling back in response to the crisis.

    The conversation is hosted by John Engel in Connecticut and Roberto Cabrera in New York. We are excited to share with you our weekly wide-ranging zoom conversation with real estate experts from around our area.   We want to know what the top agents in New York and Connecticut are seeing and hearing.  We want to know which neighborhoods and towns are poised to take off. We want to know where top agents are finding new business as the landscape shifts. We want to pour water on some of the myths and misinformation we’re reading. This week we are joined by special guests: 

    Ari Harkov Ari Harkov leads the Harkov Lewis Team in Greenwich Village. Consistently ranked in the top 250 teams in the US by the Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends, Ari represents developers, individual buyers and sellers, major landlords and property owners, and tenants in the sale and lease of properties throughout NYC. One of New York City’s elite power brokers, Ari is well respected and known as one of the preeminent experts in the residential real estate market in NYC. Eileen Hanford Spanning four decades from one coast to another, Eileen Hanford has received multiple "Agent of the Year" awards and boasts the top #1 agent spot in Darien year after year. This year Eileen is crushing it. She's tells me she's never been busier listing and selling in Darien and last month she proved it, turning in more sales than ever before in a career going back over 30 years. Tune in and ask her how she's adjusting to the new market conditions.
