Spring into Luxury
What Homeowners Want this Season
|
|
|
As we enter the Spring season (which is historically the “selling season” in real estate), you can’t help but think of luxury. The luxury of getting outside, being active, planning vacations, planting gardens, riding your bike, taking the first plunge into your pool.... having the home you love! And of course, just having more time to relax and enjoy life.
That's why as we spring into luxury this season, we are paying close attention to the trends that homebuyers are setting. From more space in the pantry to patios that offer outdoor entertainment to energy efficient windows and appliances, these are the things that buyers are looking for. It may be a seller's market out there, but buyers are being discerning about the home they settle in and the features they offer. After all, luxury isn’t just about having a big expensive home, it's also about having luxury amenities that provide convenience and the pleasures that make a luxury lifestyle!
You can read more about what homebuyers want in the featured blog article this month - Spring into Luxury. We have a lot of info for you this month so be sure to scroll through and check out the articles and market update videos.

Balancing Your Wants and Needs as a Homebuyer Today
Since the number of homes for sale is low today, it can feel challenging to find one that checks all your boxes. But if you know which features are absolutely essential in your next home and which ones are just nice bonuses, you can land a home that fits your needs.
Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for realtor.com, explains it like this:
“Focus on the goal you set out for yourself, like your list of must-haves and nice-to-haves and your budget, . . . Stick to that. Be persistent.”
So how do you go about creating your list of desired features? The first step is to get pre-approved for your mortgage. Pre-approval helps you better understand your budget, and that plays an important role in how you’ll craft your list. After all, you don’t want to fall in love with a home that’s too far out of reach.
Once you have a good grasp of your budget, you can begin to list all the features of a home you would like. Here’s a great way to think about them before you begin [...]

Is it Time to Buy a Smaller Home?
Life events can have a major impact on what you need from your home, and retirement is one of the biggest changes many of us face. This period of your life can mean doing more of the things you enjoy, like traveling, visiting with loved ones, or taking on new hobbies. But what does that mean for your home?
If you’re looking for ways to focus more on the important things in your life, the answer could be downsizing. A recent article from The Balance talks about why it could be a great option, saying:
“There are many reasons to buy a smaller home—or to downsize from your present home—but sometimes, the idea that “less is more” is what propels homeowners to buy a smaller home.”
You Can Find the Right Home for Your Needs
The 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) provides more information on why people of retirement age choose to move. It shows the need for a smaller home, the desire to be closer to loved ones, and retirement itself as three of the top reasons homebuyers over the age of 55 make a move.
If you’re in this group, changing priorities may be top of mind for you today, and that could be driving your decision to downsize. After all, as your lifestyle changes, what you need in your home likely changes, too [...]
