Real Estate Market Report July 2022
Real Estate Market Report July 2022
This month we will concentrate on our local luxury homes in our monthly Real Estate market report for July 2022. We realize people’s needs are changing, and some are turning to luxury housing to find their dream homes. Investopedia helps define what pushes a home into this category. In a recent article, they point out that a luxury home isn’t only defined by its price. Location is also an important factor. It could be an ocean-front condo at a desirable island address, a spacious home on the golf course, or one with access to luxury activities like dockage and entertainment, high-end shopping and dining, and more. The home itself will also boast some of the finest features available.
According to the finer details within our local Bluewater Market Report for July, there’s been a substantial increase in how many buyers are purchasing coastal luxury homes over the past two years, and often our buyer clients are seeing the benefits of securing their investment properties with our Bluewater Property Management Program. If you own a luxury home, it could be a great time to list your house today while demand is so high. But first, let’s understand where the demand is coming from.
What’s Driving the Heightened Buyer Demand for High-End Homes?
More people have reached a certain net-worth threshold, and that’s contributing to the increased interest in luxury housing:
“In 2020, we saw a 2.2% growth in the number of individuals with a wealth of over $5 million in net value, but in 2021 that number grew by an outstanding 19.8%. This total increase has resulted in the introduction of over 660,000 new individuals into the high net-worth bracket, which, combined with the existing affluent looking to both diversify and add new properties to their portfolio, provides a true insight into why the demand for luxury properties skyrocketed during 2021 and into 2022.”
So, if you’re looking to make changes to your real estate portfolio or are looking to sell your current house, it may be a great time to list and benefit from the high demand for luxury homes today.
