RE – We have collected, complied and most importantly distilled extensive research on fascinating trends in these 5 next wave categories. Our sources include several NAR profiles, Forbes, PEW Institute, BHG Clean Slate Survey and other trusted wealth groups.
AC Currently there are 220 billionaires and that is set to double by 2020
They are focused on major markets (or NFL cities) in the Us but we are already seeing a trickle down effect into smaller markets
Some of those markets may include
State capital - College towns - 100,000 population and above
Austin is also a good example – second tier
AC This is an interesting group as it really impacted real estate. Overnight multi millionaires
They want the latest shiny object High tech WANT IT NOW New money – equal flashy?
Any ideas of major markets they are interested In? San Francisco
By they also love remote i.e. Original shareholder of FB – sold out and bought a ranch in Ennis, Montana – everyone wants a ranch in Montana
since the move “A River Runs Through It” hit the big screen in 1992
Also there are many millionaires and decided to stay working
Example, live and work by day in San Jose, Silicon Valley and vacation by weekend in Livermore in the wine country – one plus hour away
AC The Uber rick don’t measure their real estate experience against a previous real estate experience, they measure it against their last great experience at a luxury store, or a hotel. Ritz Carlton
Embracing the Concierge Lifestyle
Quality of Life that we have come expect from Hotel experience
Will pay more for perfect No request is impossible
Seek privacy, solitude, like minded families and and individuals

RE 35% increase in sales year over year. This is one to watch, growing by leaps and bounds.
EB-5 "Regional Center" Immigrant Investor Program Permanent Residence through a $500,000 Investment
Under the EB-5 Visa Program, a $500,000 investment in a "Regional Center" enables foreign investors to qualify for the Green Card without the constraints of having to set-up and manage a U.S. business. This immigration option allows investors to live in any U.S. state and engage in a business, employment, or any activity of the investor's choice, or just retire.
Anthony Olson, P.A. has successfully processed numerous EB-5 investor visa petitions on behalf of investors who qualified for the Green Card through a $500,000 investment in a "Regional Center" Project.
A report published in June by the National Association of Realtors® gives an in-depth look at the numbers in the form of the 2014 Profile of International Home Buying Activity. It summarizes sales during the 12 month time period which ended March 2014. The most interesting figure included is that the dollar volume of sales to international clients rose to approximately $92.2 billion, which was a jump from $68.2 billion the year prior. This 35% increase comprised about 7% of all existing home sales in the United State during that time period. The bulk of the international buyers have appeared from Canada, China, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom, with China ranked first in volume at $22 billion in sales (up from $12.8 billion the previous year). Buyers from China often purchase above average priced homes and in high-end markets. A larger than normal proportion of international purchases are made with cash versus domestic sales. Though there is action throughout the U.S., the five states of Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, and New York made up 55% of international sales. As these and other large markets start heating up, some sellers are taking their profits and moving to more rural or remote settings, such as Montana, to retire or find another dream vacation home.
RE China find the US a great value. From Condos in New York, some families are buying and enrolling their children in pre-school. Want to Americanize their families. Want US education. West coast Seattle, SF, LA and San Diego are also highly popular with Asia buyers. Feel safe in the city. Purchase mostly in highly recognizable cities. Buyers from China often purchase above average priced homes and in high-end markets.
California is the #1 state for purchases, 76% cash, 56% VK rentals 83% prefer suburb and city
More wide spread distribution. CA still leads. 77% cash, over 80% is for primary residence. Moving multiple generations to US. Suburb and central city make up 85%

Price: $21,800,000
In Atherton, Calif., 94027, the most expensive home currently on the market is a 12,840-square-foot Mediterranean mansion with a $21.988 million price tag. Not a millionaire? Good luck finding a place to live in this Silicon Valley enclave. The least expensive home for sale in the 94027 ZIP code is a 1,370-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath bungalow. In other words, a starter home–with an asking price of $1.499 million.
The median price of the 24 homes listed for sale over the summer was $9.03 million, making Atherton the most expensive ZIP code in America for the second year in a row.
“Atherton is drawing a lot of young executives: CIOs, CFOs, and CEOs,” says Ken DeLeon, a Silicon Valley broker whose firm, DeLeon Realty, has $480 million in sales closed or pending to date this year. “And the international buyers really draw on the prestige.”
For Silicon Valley’s wealthy, Atherton offers proximity to the area’s tech start-ups as well as its big public companies, including Apple in Cupertino, and Facebook and Google in Mountain View. Another advantage over prestigious, yet further out areas (such as Woodside, home to billionaires Larry Ellison of Oracle and Scott Cook of Intuit) is Atherton’s relatively relaxed building regulations. “If you drive up and down Atherton Avenue all you see are huge construction, 12,000-square-foot homes,” DeLeon says. Younger, tech-rich buyers who want a more urban feel like that Atherton is just minutes away from downtown Menlo Park and Palo Alto, DeLeon says.
But Atherton 94027 is the only Bay Area ZIP—or California ZIP code, for that matter–to crack the top 10 on our 2014 list of America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes.
AC. This year New York City dominates the list, with six ZIP codes among the top 10. Long Island’s Sagaponack 11962, in the town of Southampton, grabs the No. 2 slot, followed by three consecutive New York City ZIPS: Lower Manhattan’s 10013 (No. 3), the Upper East Side’s 10065 (No. 4) and 10075 (No. 5).

RE Downsizing Main Residence, in Exchange for 2nd, 3rd, 4th homes
Many luxury homeowners who fall into higher age ranges/travel often on business, will downsize their primary residence and take second, third, even fourth homes.
While major US cities like Chicago, SF and NY act as locations for second residences (think Ritz Carlton or Trump Residences), this reinvigoration of the outdoors has also led luxury homeowners to take homes off the beaten path for leisure purposes. Luxury communities such as Gozzer in Idaho (this photo is Gozzer), Yellowstone Club in Montana cater to the super affluent, while there are luxury projects being built in Lake Martin, Alabama and Palmetto Bluff, SC. Nashville is viewed as an up and coming city for quality materials and also properties and there is money to be spent beyond the super rich country stars that hail from the city.

Ac – I recently a great interview with some of the top luxury editors from the Meredith corporation let me share with you what they said on
Quality and Purpose vs. Grandeur
While this trend seems to transcend various income brackets, in the luxury market there has been a shift from square footage to quality, craftsmanship and personalization in the home. The luxury market is still spending significantly, but putting their money into high-end materials that can separate their home from the rest and are much more thoughtful about how the space will be used.
Many luxury homeowners in the markets that Meredith serves want their homes to look traditional on the outside, but modern in the inside – this relates to everything from kitchen islands, cabinetry, appliances (multiple appliances are not uncommon), wifi-enabled technologies, automation, etc
Architecturally, detailing in the home is an expectation. They want crown moldings, coppered ceilings, plank wood, fire places, etc. Hard wood floor continue to prevail
Often couples will have separate offices for the husband and wife, who both want to be connected to work in the home
There are still mansions that feature dedicated rooms: home theater rooms (though they are going away from rows and rows of lazy boys, to be a more cohesively designed room), dog grooming rooms, wrapping/crafting rooms.
What will differentiate the luxury homeowner from the mass spec’d kitchen/home will be the details. For example, while granite is still by and large a major countertop stone, people are mixing stones, such as Quartzite, which is very expensive, can act as a talking point and is more “elegant”
Downsizing Main Residence, in Exchange for 2nd, 3rd, 4th homes
Many luxury homeowners who fall into higher age ranges/travel often on business, will downsize their primary residence and take second, third, even fourth homes.

RE - In vacation homes, there is a trend towards individualizing rooms based on guests. For example, one Hamptons home they profiled featured bunk bed rooms for grandchildren – this is very common.
Every bedroom has a bath, living area, play area, private-like hotel suites
RE Each room will have a purpose and living areas are becoming more integrated and fluid for all members of the family (including children): while dining rooms are still alive in the luxury home there is a trend away from formal entertaining to incorporating the dining room into the home in a different way.
Entertaining at home is hot. Cocooning is the term. Stay in to watch a movie in the ultimate home-theater.
Most expensive listing in the US $139 Le Palais Royal in Florida. 11 BR 17 baths, and home to first-ever IMAX Theater contracted for private use. 50X27 ft screen, seating for 18 and a bar. 492 ft dock, parking in garage for 30 cars.
AC Reinvigoration of the Outdoors
Many homes are now focused on both outdoors and indoor entertaining, the idea of separate spaces is fading and you see this particularly with the prevalence of windows and light in creating a connection to the outdoors.
There is a trend to have master bedrooms open directly to the outdoors – use of French Doors to do so.
More than ever there are outdoor televisions and sound systems; they’ve even found indoor/outdoor kitchens that will open up into the yard. Traditional Home just shot a total outdoor kitchen in Napa.

Kitchen as the Center of the Home
The kitchen is still the center of the home, both physically and metaphorically and there has never been a greater interest in appliances, cabinetry, islands that look like furniture as spaces are becoming more open and multipurpose
