We have seen enthusiasm rise so substantially for luxury residences that we are in a seller’s market in many areas. Meanwhile, single-family residential sales have reportedly exceeded $100 million – not once, but twice in 18 months – leaving me with little doubt about the possibility of seeing records set beyond those figures in the near future. That is why for our Spring 2013 issue of Homes & Estates, we wanted to offer something special in celebration of the new energy invigorating the affluent housing market. Gracing the beautiful pages of our book, the editorial in this issue is intended to draw you even deeper into the Previews world with more inspiring images and stories than ever before. Jewelry. Glamorous décor. Global architecture. Personality profiles. And exclusive stories on some of the finest real estate on the market. It all brings the Previews lifestyle into view, to be looked upon with fresh eyes. We are especially proud to bring you an exclusive interview with Richard Landry, one of the most respected and prolific luxury architects of our time. If our exploration of Harry Winston and his dazzling history as “the King of Diamonds” doesn’t give you dreams of your next jewelry purchase, then it will at least enlighten you about an American icon. Meanwhile, reigning queen of style, Kelly Wearstler, talks shop with 1stdibs, giving us a glimpse into her fabulous mod-glam world. Also, please do not miss our personal profiles on Jade Mills, the Beverly Hills luxury real estate specialist who logged $338 million in sales last year, and Roger Pettingell, who in his career, has sold more than $1 billion worth of luxury properties in Sarasota and Manatee. From our wonderful lifestyle stories to our grand estates for sale, we proudly welcome you into our world and into a new era for luxury real estate. Betty Graham President Coldwell Banker Previews International® NRT 6 | Homes & Estates W e have seen enthusiasm rise so substantially for luxury residences that we are in a seller’s market in many areas. ColdwellBankerPreviews.com | 7 A LETTER FROM BUDGE HUSKEY I t is perhaps not by chance that we are bringing you our largest issue yet of Homes & Estates, after the luxury real estate market posted one of its most significant years on record. Over 200 pages of stories and homes coming to life in full color not only represent over 15% growth from last year — but our growth in the expanding luxury real estate realm. We can proudly say that 218 Coldwell Banker® agents and teams were listed among “The Thousand” in 2012 by The Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends, a demonstration of our enduring leadership. All of this underscores the importance of having a deep understanding of the nuances of luxury real estate — nuances that are explored in great detail in our widely popular Luxury Market Report, timed in parallel with the release of the magazine. On pages 10 and 11, we provide you with our list of Top U.S. ZIP Codes for Luxury Properties. If you have ever wondered where the most affluent individuals are buying and selling in the U.S., this is the place to start. Beverly Hills, Aspen, Miami… you will not be disappointed. Available for download online, the third installment of the Luxury Market Report presents a broad picture of trends from all levels of affluent housing. If I may say so, our “Luxtimate” story explores the art of determining value for the world’s most unique luxury properties, where traditional notions of comparability do not apply. Meanwhile, our “Best Places for Luxury Investment” story reveals six great value neighborhoods in the $1 million to $3 million-plus range… because after all, even the most affluent buyers still want a good deal! This issue of Homes & Estates takes you deep inside the luxury lifestyle, beyond the high-gloss stories of beautiful mansions, to diamonds, fast cars and iconic personalities. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did preparing it for you. Budge Huskey President and Chief Executive Officer Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC 8 | Homes & Estates
