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.

This is an exciting issue for us. Not only do we have some outstanding editorial features this month – Winter Getaways and Master Suites – we also have some exceptional featured properties in this issue.
As many of you may know, this issue is one of my personal favorites as it has extra distribution at one of the premier, internationally-recognized automotive events: Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. With this extra exposure, we would be remiss if we didn’t showcase some fantastic Arizona properties.

It’s hard to believe that the Holiday season is upon us – how quickly the year went by. This is the time of year when we should all pause and express our gratitude for all that we have. While it is a time for joyous events, parties and celebrations, it is also a time to express our appreciation by helping those less fortunate. The happiness derived from helping others is a great gift to them, as well as oneself. So reach out and lend a hand.

I recently read an article that focused on luxury real estate and it noted that the meaning of luxury has changed. It’s no longer about just price point – it has now taken on a more personal definition. It may mean convenience, amenities, features and anything else that helps offer a lifestyle that promotes “happier living.”
In looking at the mix of properties being presented by our real estate partners, I realized the truth in these words. Of course, living happier lives may come with a price tag but it also comes with the opportunity for a uniqueness that is defined by the individual doing the looking.
