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.

The real estate market is definitely seeing an ongoing transformation between being a buyer’s market and a seller’s market – even in the world of luxury real estate.

No matter what the motivation is behind the transaction, as always, turn to duPont REGISTRY as the reliable, go-to source for expertise in the luxury real estate arena.

It’s amazing that spring is right around the corner. In fact, by the time you are reading this most of the country will be enjoying fantastic spring weather. It’s the time of year when people start venturing outside more – spending time doing a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, golfing and likely even doing more traveling. Keeping this in mind, it’s fitting that our two editorial features this issue are Golf Course Properties and Guest Houses and In-Law Suites.

The luxury real estate market is exploding. Over the last two years, there has been an increase in luxury sales in many major markets and the expectation is that 2019 will be more of the same positive growth. Now is a perfect time to consider making a move – the luxury market is robust in so many areas.

One market that continues to see an increase in popularity is the West Coast of Florida. With its endless supply of warm weather, great beaches, waterfront properties and lack of state income taxes, it’s no wonder that this area is often top on the list for folks looking to purchase second or third homes as well as those looking for a change of lifestyle and, therefore, wanting to call this area home.
