Dear Reader,

Regardless of who you are, what your lifestyle is or where you live, one thing is certain – as we look ahead to Spring of 2020, the luxury marketplace, according several top real estate experts, is strong. There is an increased demand for second-home and resort-style properties. And the global real estate marketplace is surging. We take you to some fantastic locations in this issue – a little something for everyone looking to explore the luxury marketplace.

Dear Reader,

I hope you are enjoying the holidays with family and friends. Likely as you are reading this, many of your holiday parties are over. In fact, you may already be taking down the decorations and preparing for the start of a new year. Welcome 2020!

There are a lot of changes happening in the publishing and media industry for 2020 – some positive and some not so positive. There are many magazine titles that have little relevance and, therefore, will no longer be published. For us here at duPont REGISTRY, 2020 marks the time for increased relevance, giving us the opportunity to make some changes to our look, format and distribution. While we continue to grow our focus on digital and social media outreach, we are also continuing to evolve and develop the look of our foundation – the monthly print magazine. We hope you enjoy the fresher, cleaner look and format.

One thing that will not change – the focus on featuring some of the most spectacular homes on the luxury market today.

Dear Readers,

It is difficult to believe that we are already going to press with the November issue. It seems like just days ago that I was wishing you a happy new year. Maybe where you are the leaves have started to change and the tell-tale signs of Winter are approaching. Here in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida we have 3 basic seasons; Hot, Hurricane and Christmas. For some of you, the seasons may be observed by the beginning or ending of your favorite sport. For all of us though, we recognize this time of year as a season of thanksgiving. It is a great time to tell someone what they have meant to your life, either personally or professionally. With that in mind, it is appropriate to thank not only our advertising partners, but as importantly, you, our loyal readers. It is because of you that we have been able to pursue our passion to showcase the luxury lifestyle to the world for over twenty-three years with this publication. Thank you all.

As I sit to write this, there is a lot of activity – even more than usual – in our offices. We are in the midst of a very busy event season for both the automotive and the homes divisions. We have a team leaving for Pebble Beach to attend the most well-known and respected Concours in the auto enthusiast “world.” We are also getting ready to send our marketing teams to several luxury real estate events including the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Summit September 15-17, Who’s Who Luxury Real Estate September 25-27 and Leaders in Luxury – The Institute October 27-30. So, you can certainly imagine the reason for the flurry of activity here. But not to worry, our team has still had time to assemble a fantastic group of properties for you in this issue.

I hope you have enjoyed the lazy days of summer as much as we have. Try to “soak up” the last few precious weeks left before having to gear up for a much more structured, hectic time after the Labor Day holiday.

There are some great luxury properties available on the market right now and we have the opportunity to showcase a few of them this month inside the pages of this issue.

It’s been 24 years since we launched our Luxury Homes magazine, adding it to our portfolio of offerings. Over these last 24 years, trends have changed; the financial market has risen, dropped and risen again; Presidents have come and gone and residential neighborhoods have continued to expand in areas surrounding major metropolitan markets. One thing has remained consistent (albeit expanded) – our ability to reach a targeted demographic of affluent, wealthy individuals with not only our print publications but now also with our rapidly growing digital, social and event-driven footprints.

It’s amazing how quickly time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were sharing winter getaway ideas, wearing coats and sweaters and even experiencing shortened daylight hours. Now, many of us are preparing for summer vacations and the long, hot, lazy days of summer. This time of year, although typically a time for a more relaxed state of mind, can be a great time to consider adding to your real estate portfolio.
