\"Opportunity<\/p>\n

Homes priced in the top 25% of a price range for a particular area of the country are considered \u201cpremium homes.\u201d\u00a0At the start of last year, many of the more expensive homes listed for sale hadn\u2019t seen as much interest, since much of the demand for housing over the past few years has come from first-time buyers looking for starter homes. It looks like buyer activity, however, is starting to show a shift in this segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the January Luxury Report<\/em><\/a> from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing<\/em> (ILHM):<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn a snapshot of 2019, despite pessimism at the start of the year, the last quarter showcased a strengthening, with an upswing in the luxury market for sales in both the single family and condo markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Momentum is growing, and those looking to enter the luxury market<\/a> are poised for success in 2020 as well. With more inventory available at the upper-end, historically low interest rates, and increasing average wages, the stage is set for buyers with an interest in this tier to embrace the perfect move-up opportunity.<\/p>\n

The report highlights the increase in buyer activity in this segment, resulting in growing sales toward the end of 2019:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAccording to reports from many luxury real estate professionals, the significant increase in number of properties bought at the end of 2019 versus 2018 is reflective of an early 2019 holding pattern.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many of early 2019\u2019s prospective luxury buyers held off while waiting to see how prices would react to new tax regulations and other policy changes. Buyer confidence returned in late spring and compared to 2018, above average sales were reported in the final quarter of 2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With evidence of strong buyer confidence, this is great news, as more homeowners are building equity<\/a> and growing their net worth throughout the country:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMany homeowners are now diversifying their wealth, owning several properties rather than a single mega mansion. In addition, there have been an increase number of home purchases taking place in smaller cities, reflecting the rising number of people relocating from major metropolises. Their property equity wealth or ability to pay high rental costs have afforded them the opportunity to purchase luxury properties in\u2026secondary cities throughout North America.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With a strong economy<\/a> and a backdrop set for moving up this year, it\u2019s a great time to explore the luxury market. Keep in mind, luxury can mean different things to different people, too. To one person, luxury is a secluded home with plenty of property and privacy. To another, it is a penthouse at the center of a bustling city. Knowing what characteristics mean luxury to you will help your agent understand what you\u2019re after as you define the scope and location for the home of your dreams.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about upgrading your current house to a luxury home, or adding an additional property to your portfolio, let\u2019s get together to determine if you\u2019re ready to make your move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
