Luxury Real Estate

Key Insights about Luxury Real Estate

• When selling a home in this price range, it’s critical to work with a specialist like me who understands the local luxury market.
• As a specialist in selling luxury homes, I can help with everything from pricing, to private sales, to pre-sale updates that will help draw in more buyer interest.

By working with me as your specialist REALTOR® in the upper-bracket market, you can leverage my strategic insights as you move toward the closing table. A couple initial thoughts:

How long does it take to sell a high-end home?

Historically, luxury homes have taken longer to sell than general market homes. This makes sense — as you move into higher price ranges, the pool of eligible buyers tends to get smaller. However, the current inventory shortage in our market includes luxury properties, and homes in the luxury range are selling faster now than they have in past years.

As your luxury real estate expert, I have a keen understanding of current trends in exceptional properties and I will make smart recommendations for how to update and position your home before it is listed on the market. 

Top trends that luxury buyers are looking for include: 

• Elevated storage: Rather than simply offering a walk-in closet, owner’s suites can now include space for the homeowner to prepare for their day. Some are adding espresso machines, furniture for lounging and extra features for their furry friends.
• Home gyms: Treadmills are no longer relegated to an extra nook in the basement. Today’s high-end homeowners are placing their Pelotons in windowed rooms where they can enjoy a gorgeous view. Bonus points if you add a sauna and cold soaking tub to your space.
• C-suite at home: High-end homebuyers who will work from home are designing spaces that suit their needs. From a small kitchenette to prepare snacks or drinks between meetings, to fireplaces and reading nooks where they can read executive briefs, the one-of-a-kind home office is becoming more and more common.

What else should I know when selling my luxury home?

In short, while it’s important to understand luxury trends when selling your home, it’s also critical not to over-generalize this unique market. To sell your home at a competitive rate in the shortest amount of time possible, work with me because I am well informed about recent sales activity.
