Real estate in the United States just passed a new milestone. The luxury firm Christie\u2019s now has a $1 billion portfolio of homes whose owners will accept cryptocurrency from interested buyers. And the firm has just opened a division exclusively for buyers who want to pay with the digital coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might imagine, the homes with willing sellers are not for everyone. One is a $63 million home overlooking Los Angeles. Then there\u2019s the $118 million Bel Air mansion. And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, will this matter to ordinary home buyers? You might be surprised by Christie\u2019s predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Times Reports\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christie\u2019s International Real Estate put together a team of crypto experts and attorneys to facilitate crypto-only deed transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Kirman is the CEO of Christie\u2019s International Real Estate of Southern California. Kirman opened the new division just this month. The move follows several successful crypto-based transactions Kirman has handled for some big spenders in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensing \u201ca shift in the market,\u201d Kirman decided to go all-in. In the United States, Gallup polls say, 14% of us are crypto owners. And the interest in digital assets, as with real estate assets, is international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only going to get bigger over the next few years,\u201d said Kirman, as reported by the Times<\/em> on July 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Do People Want This?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what crypto-based deed transactions have going for them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The wealthy among us often hope to make purchases off the radar. So, they\u2019ve traditionally set up limited liability companies or private trusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christie\u2019s crypto buyers may too have LLCs, but they\u2019re using them to move crypto assets instead of traditional funds that are stored in banks. This makes it harder to follow what they\u2019re doing with their assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain technology, then, offers a new route to an old goal. Transactions have long numbers to identify who\u2019s doing what. Buyers\u2019 names are not out in the open. Christie\u2019s Aaron Kirman says crypto deed transactions are so private that even the sellers don\u2019t always know who\u2019s buying. The sellers communicate through lawyers with the buyer agents. Lawyers check up on the source of crypto to be sure it was legally acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Christie\u2019s team can eliminate the role of an institutional lender, letting deed holders sell to their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of wiring funds from one account, to escrow, to another account, the new crypto-focused division is set up for settling deals directly between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although pairing people who want to work this way is far from an ordinary activity, Kirman told The New York Times<\/em>, buyers who intend to do it their way, using digital assets, keep turning up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smooth Transactions, From Anywhere in the World<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Christie\u2019s finds that its well-heeled home shoppers value smooth, prompt deed transactions. Today, the rails developed for cryptocurrency can make those transactions happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process is streamlined, without involvement of financial institutions and their underwriters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And paying with crypto might save a buyer a lot of money. While the Times <\/em>doesn\u2019t explore this point, it\u2019s notable that cutting out a number of middle people could mean avoiding a number of traditional transaction fees, too. This is especially the case when people are buying property from abroad. And that\u2019s what some customers want \u2014 global access to real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Christie\u2019s Crypto Makes Sense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christie\u2019s is not new to transactions that rely on digital assets rather than dollars. The international firm has a record of managing auctions for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). And yes, lest you wonder: NFT houses<\/a> are still very much a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christie\u2019s was also ahead of its time in 2022 when it unveiled an auction platform on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is also still very much a thing. It\u2019s turned out to be red-hot this year<\/a> among the world\u2019s leading wealth-chasers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For luxury firms like Christie\u2019s and Sotheby\u2019s, venturing into the world of digital assets is simply a logical progression. These companies are responsible for catering to a savvy and curious international population and its new generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it\u2019s getting harder to turn a profit in the high-end real estate world. Meeting the moneyed where they are is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Quite Ready for Prime Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some critics say a crypto-based purchase is not as easy as promoters make it out to be. For example, a commentator at Pymnts.com<\/em> takes issue<\/a> with the tax rules and guardrails \u2014 or, rather, the continued need for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An underappreciated element of friction is doing the taxes, the commentator notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, every crypto transaction \u2014 including swapping one token for another or making a purchase \u2014 can trigger a taxable event. Users must track cost basis, capital gains and holding periods, often with little institutional support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, tax policy is still playing catch-up in the fast-moving world of digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commentator believes that the level of trust in this area is still not where it needs to be. \u201cIn crypto, the ethos is code is law, and if you lose your keys or fall for a phishing scam, you\u2019re on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True \u2014 although the new Christie\u2019s division is mainly targeting people who want to use crypto in place of cash payments. Cash also lacks safeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the critic is right to note that crypto\u2019s simplicity is overstated. Christie\u2019s customers can afford lawyers to smooth out their paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s In It for the Rest of Us? Surprising Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for Christie\u2019s, the firm is looking to expand into transactions that involve lender financing. Seems timely. Realtor.com\u00ae<\/em> has just reported that crypto-backed mortgages are \u201cgaining traction<\/a>\u201d as a new way to buy second homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the broader market, Kirman speculates that crypto-based deed transactions could make up more than a third of all U.S. residential purchases in just five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirman\u2019s enthusiasm for crypto\u2019s prospects is surprising, yet not absurd. Recently the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to consider cryptocurrency among the reserve assets<\/a> of applicants seeking mortgages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even The<\/em> New York Times <\/em>has been bitten by the bug. The paper tells us that \u201ccryptocurrency \u2014 once seen by many as obscure or risky \u2014 has been embraced by Washington and is now poised to envelop the housing market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envelop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, the point is made. What counts as a legitimate payment, or a legitimate asset, is changing. This is going to impact who can engage in deed transfers \u2014 and how they do it. So, whether or not crypto soon accounts for a third of all home sales or not, it\u2019s a trend to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
