Welcome to Prime – Interior Orange County Edition.

The first Prime – Interior Orange County issue of 2016 is upon us, and I would like to take the opportunity to wish you a successful and prosperous new year—one which I believe will be outstanding for luxury real estate in our area. The energy is palpable in the Interior Orange County luxury homes market, and talking to real estate professionals in the region reveals excitement and optimism across the board. With the economy on the rebound, interest rates for major property loans remain low, which benefits both sides. Affluent buyers are taking advantage of attractive financing options to acquire property, while sellers are locking in premium prices for properties that cater to current trends.

Speaking of current trends, this issue of Prime gets the inside scoop from experienced professionals in our area on what luxury home buyers are really looking for in 2016. Our Trending segment includes insights from Brad Feldman (The Brad Feldman Group at Teles Properties), who was groomed into Orange County luxury real estate by virtue of growing up in the coveted Nellie Gail Ranch neighborhood. Also speaking on trends, 14-year real estate veteran Tim Wolter (Tim Wolter Group) delivers hands-on advice to sellers, while top-rated luxury real estate team Sarah and Dean O’Dell (O’Dell Group at Seven Gables Real Estate) shine a light on a new phenomenon in the region.

On that note, nobody is more up-to-date on current trends and developments than the dedicated professionals who have made this region their home for many years. In our Prime Agent Spotlight we talk to industry veteran Jerry La Mott, who has been working closely with buyers and sellers for 43 years now. Sharing his passion for luxury real estate, Jerry also works side-by-side with his daughters Nicole and Michelle at the La Mott Group, part of Surterre Properties.

Once again, we have compiled some of the best and most exclusive Interior Orange County homes in this issue of Prime. Our Cover Home, a showcase of Tuscan Tranquility in North Tustin offered by Edward Blatchford of Surterre Properties, checks all the boxes for elegant luxury living that’s trending in 2016. And our Prime Property Masterpiece feature must be seen to be believed. The sprawling 9.5-acre estate in the exclusive Coto de Caza commu-nity is a family dream come true, boasting a serene lake and decked-out swimming lagoon with water canons, slides, and a replica pirate ship! See the private luxury resort, presented by John McMonigle of The McMonigle Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, and prepare to be amazed by all the other listings that start the year on a high note.

With that said, I’m happy to welcome you to Prime, and wish you a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Marc Fiore | Group Publisher / Co-Founder [email protected]

Experience the finest in California living at this one-of-a-kind lux-ury resort that must be seen to be believed. Nestled into the hill-side amidst the guard-gated private community of Coto de Caza,

the sprawling 9.5 acres property checks all the boxes for family-friendly lifestyle and grand-scale entertaining. Enjoy your private lap of luxury in the palatial Main Residence while guests reside in three additional homes – bringing the total count to nine bedrooms, 14 baths on 14,000 square feet of living spaces – sprinkled across the meticulously landscaped estate. Wow kids with a swimming lagoon replete with caves, waterfalls, slides, and a replica pirate ship, while offering grown-ups tranquil walks in the quietude of the lake with its own entertainment area. “I see a true family man buying this for his wife and children to enjoy. The Estate Home, while large in scale, flows nicely and the outdoor entertainment areas could keep even Huckleberry Finn from ever wanting to leave,” said real estate professional John McMonigle, head of The McMonigle Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

UNIQUE LUXURY RETREATA modern-day luxury retreat with equally playful and stylish touches,

31822 Secoya Way continues to amaze at every turn. Entering the estate’s Main Residence lined by palm trees and ornamental fountains, guests are greeted by the spectacular entrance hall with its winding staircase and polished stone floors. Designer touches and elegant materials abound throughout the open floor plan connecting two offices, seven fireplaces

and a large family room serviced by a state-of-the-art entertainer’s kitchen with its own adjoining dining nook. Private spa-style comforts await in the master bath with its jetted tub and large vanity area, while social life gravi-tates toward the state-of-the-art home theater and downstairs billiard room with hand-rubbed wood and copper ceilings. Bringing the lifestyle offering full circle, the surrounding Coto de Caza community – best viewed from

the lookout tower offering stunning panoramas of the countryside – opens a world of outdoor activities. “Coto is about community and space, golf, horseback riding, and nature trails,” said John McMonigle.

With its unique blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, active lifestyles and quiet relaxation, as well as grand-scale entertaining and natural outdoor activities, the estate at 31822 Secoya Way offers something for everyone in the family. “There are warm, comfortable, and captivating points of interest throughout. But whenever children are present, they race to the pool to fire the water canons, enjoy the waterslide, and jump from the top of the pirate ship. Men seem to gravitate to the game room and theatre while women seem to linger in the Lavish Master and enjoy a peaceful walk around the lake,” said John McMonigle, adding: “I hope the estate goes to a lucky, large family to be held for many happy generations to come.”

“The estate is first and foremost a family home. It functions as the most fun family home ever imagined. I think it has hosted the most

enviable birthday parties in the entire county.” – John McMonigle, The McMonigle Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices

Take a deep breath: The estate’s tranquil lake with its covered Pavilion and Lake House encourages quiet walks under the open sky.

SARAH AND DEAN O’DELLFounded by mother-and-son, Sarah and Dean O’Dell, with a full staff and internal buyer team, The O'Dell Group has been marketing and selling homes for over 30 years. Con-sistently selling more homes than 99.5% of all teams and agents in Orange County, the group has ranked as Seven Gables Real Estate’s top-selling team for over two decades.

“We are seeing a definite trend towards turnkey properties in our region. When we list a property that is upgraded and priced appropriately, it will sell for more money in less time. Especially first-time buyers, where both spouses work and simply do not have the time for a remodel. And most don’t have the extra cash, as today's financing constraints do not allow remodeling loans like they did in the past.

What’s more, we have recently even seen buyers compromise on location in order to pur-chase a turnkey home that is in-line with current trends. That is definitely a new phenomenon in our several decades of real estate experience.

Today more than ever, sellers are at a big advantage when they can sell a turnkey home. We suggest our clients seek advice from agents with regards to what upgrades will get a return to prepare a home properly. Even if sellers only plan to sell several years down the line they will make money back, if the correct upgrades are made.”

TIM WOLTERBorn and raised in Laguna Niguel, Tim Wolter is a 14-year veteran of South Orange County Luxury Real Estate with over $500 million in completed sales. Close customer focus and unparalleled professionalism have established the Tim Wolter Group as the “go to” experts in Covenant Hills and Ladera Ranch premium real estate.

“Time seems to be the most coveted luxury in our fast-paced world these days, so buyers today typically desire the finished product.

My typical buyers here in Ladera Ranch and the surrounding areas are mostly families with extremely busy schedules. They are constantly juggling commitments for school, extra-cur-ricular activities, and demanding youth sports, while mom and dad are trying to find the time to get work done themselves. This has created a notable trend towards turnkey homes.

In addition, buyers today are sophisticated and typically well-educated on the current market trends. Note to sellers: A vast majority of buyers in this market are willing to pay top dollar for a finished product that checks all their boxes. For many of our families, that means moving right in, avoiding the dust and aggravation of a remodel and not skipping a beat so they can keep up with their lives.”

BRAD FELDMANBorn and raised in Orange County’s coveted Nellie Gail Ranch neighborhood, Brad Feldman knows the region’s luxury real estate market inside out. As the head of the Brad Feldman Group, Brad keeps a finger on the pulse of the area’s most influential communities from the coast to inland cities and offers clients unsurpassed global market-ing reach and power in partnership with Teles Properties.

“The majority of luxury home buyers right now are attracted to turnkey properties, mostly to take advantage of the attractive rates on financing options. As interest rates for jumbo loan products hover around 3.5% to 4%, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for a fully finished, turnkey property instead of having to deplete their cashflow with remodels.

There are also buyers in the luxury market, however, that have the financial ability to purchase a home outright without depending on financing. These buyers are more apt to remodel a home and take on a project, but realistically account for only about 30% of the luxury buyer market.

With that said, fully remodeled homes will attract a far better price and sell in far less time [especially in the ultra-luxury space in Orange County and Los Angeles] than homes that are dated or in need of significant work.”

The Interior Orange County luxury real estate market is moving at a fast clip, but ultimately, much depends on the changing preferences and demands among luxury home buyers. In search of what buyers really want from luxury homes in 2016, this issue’s Trending segment gets the inside scoop from

seasoned real estate experts. Here are insights from Tim Wolter (The Tim Wolter Group), Sarah and Dean O’Dell (The O’Dell Group), and Brad Feldman (The Brad Feldman Group at Teles Properties) on our question for this issue:

ARE BUYERS MORE ATTRACTED TO TURNKEY PROPERTIES OR HOMES NEEDING TO BE REMODELED?

What was the first highlight of your career as a real estate professional in California?

The first highlight of my real estate career was learning that I passed my real estate licensing test in 1973. After passing my test, I had the op-portunity to work for a small land developer in Malibu in a three-person office looking out at the Pacific Ocean.

Was there an early experience that got you “hooked” on the real estate business?

My first milestone was working my very first weekend at the up desk as an official Realtor®. I received a call from a couple from Santa Monica and they were inquiring about a small add in the newspaper for a six-unit ocean view building priced at $125,000. I told them I could meet them at the property and show them the exterior only to see if they would have an interest. When I met them at the property, they immediately told me they liked it. With the help of my boss we wrote up a full-price cash offer and closed escrow in 30 days! Wow, did I ever think this business was fun!

How would you describe your personal approach and the unique services you offer?

Like many other agents, I am very passionate about the home selling and buying experience. With the process being a life changing event for clients – new home, new neighbors, new friends, new areas – my goal is to truly find a home that is special for our clients where they will create great memories with their families. My main focus in servicing our clients is to look out for their best interest and help them find the perfect home for their needs.

What are the biggest general trends in real estate at the start of 2016?

We are in a significant transition from the Baby Boomers and their wants and likes to the Millennials who are looking for a different life-style and their own identity.

Which trends are you noticing in your region in the luxury homes market?

The luxury market in South County is more coastal-driven and a broad base of areas such as Nellie Gail Ranch, San Juan Capistrano, and Coto de Caza to the east. All of these communities are in demand with the Baby Boomers downsizing and the younger buyers moving in and quite of-ten doing extensive remodels and updating.

What are buyers demanding from luxury homes these days?

In general, they like the new developments that have the design elements and living spaces conducive to indoor/outdoor living with “great room” concepts. They are looking for the “COOL FACTOR”, or a way to create it.

Which price points and architectural styles are seeing the most action right now in your area?

The general price points for our market is $1,500,000 to $2,500,000, and the contemporary, modern and Spanish designs are popular.

And finally, what is the #1 reason for moving to Orange County?

South Orange County has so much to offer with its beautiful beaches, championship golf courses, award-winning public and private schools, lux-ury hotels, tourist attractions, historical venues, community events, career opportunities, outdoor recreation and the Saddleback Mountain back-drop. It truly is a great place to live.
