  • We take a look at the buying trends of the affluent comparing their spending habits and trends between 2019 and 2020, which has changed dramatically due to the recent impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic.
  • In September 2019 we reported that demand for large luxury estate properties had reduced significantly over the previous few years, instead home purchase decisions by the affluent were based on the diversifying their portfolio, prioritizing quality over space and the inclusion of resort-like amenities.
  • A year later, and the restrictions of the Coronavirus have changed both the preferences and lifestyle requirements of the affluent. In fact, the last 6 months has seen a resurgence in the buying of mega mansions and estate size homes; specifically properties that offer space, both inside and outside, separate home offices, gyms and private amenities such as swimming pools, yoga studios and recreation rooms.
    The report looks at some of the important variables such as the increase in median sales price, effects of working from home, and markets that have seen the greatest impact.
  • We also review the growth of wealth and how the affluent are not only continuing to spend on luxury, but the innovations that are facilitating their spending; from digital shopping, to implementing health and wellness aspects into their lifestyle and increasing private luxury services to ensure their needs are met.
  • The changing face of the real estate industry now fully recognizes the importance of including amenities that address the physical, social and mental/emotional/spiritual dimensions of its residents.
  • For homeowners looking to sell or buy their luxury home in today’s market they recommend working with a Realtor who can provide you with critical knowledge about your local market, maintain a high level of security during the transaction and knows how to leverage technology to provide maximum exposure and assistance.
