HOMES IN THE PACIFIC PALISADES ARE WITNESSING FEWER DAYS ON THE MARKET IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS A HIGHER MEDIAN SALE PRICE. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE TREND FAVORING MODERN ARCHITECTURE, FEATURING ORGANIC AND CONTEMPORARY-STYLE INTERIORS.” CINDY AMBUEHL; Christie’s International Real Estate l AKG

"GROWING UP ON THE EAST COAST, HAVING SCHOOL CALLED OFF FOR RAIN IS MIND-BOGGLING. HOUSES IN THE HILLS ARE ABSOLUTELY SAFE, AS BUILDING CODES THESE DAYS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD THINGS UNLESS THEY CAN OUTLAST ALL OF OUR LIVES. SURE, YOU WANT TO GET INSPECTIONS REGARDING OLDER HOMES AND FOUNDATIONS. STILL, ANYTHING BUILT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION ISN’T AFFECTED IF DONE PROPERLY AND LEGALLY BY CODES.” MATT ALTMAN; The Altman Brothers

"WE’VE SEEN TREMENDOUS, RENEWED INTEREST IN MULTIGENERATIONAL HOMES AND A GROWING DEMAND FOR OUTDOOR AMENITIES AND LIVING SPACES AS BUYERS PRIORITIZE LIFESTYLE FOLLOWING THE PANDEMIC. WITH AN ONGOING SHIFT TOWARDS REMOTE AND HYBRID WORK, THERE’S A NOTABLE INCREASE IN PROPERTY PURCHASES IN SECOND-HOME MARKETS, WITH THE POPULARITY OF GOLDEN VISAS FACILITATING ACCESS TO ONCE-ASPIRATIONAL MARKETS. TURN-KEY, AMENITY-RICH PROPERTIES CONTINUE TO BE FAVORED BY THOSE IN THE LUXURY SECTOR, AND THE APPEAL OF BRANDED RESIDENCES IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH.” MAURICIO UMANSKY; The Agency
