A new generation of luxury homebuyers has emerged over the last few years, according to the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing’s Luxury Market Report for January 2018. This up-and-coming group tends more toward self-made success than inherited wealth, they’re likely responsible for boosting high-end sales in markets throughout America and they want a lot of value for their money.
“Our super-luxury buyers tend to be business executives moving to Nashville from out of state,” said Lacey Newman, realtor and founding partner of Heard Newman, a luxury real estate brokerage located in Nashville, Tenn. “The number one feature they’re searching for is an incredible swimming pool and outdoor recreation area.”
Realtor Brett Ringelheim from The Mariucci Team at Nest Seekers International echoes that sentiment. “I see most of these homes being bought by tech CEO’s,” said Ringelheim. Amenities are a major draw for Ringelheim’s buyers, too. “Ten years ago, having a one-lane lane bowling alley was a big deal. Now, these homes already have a four-lane lane bowling alley, full-court basketball court, etc.” The newest amenity drawing in buyers is a car collection that’s included in the sale price, Ringelheim said.
GOBankingRates examined Zillow real estate listings to find some of the biggest — and priciest — houses for sale throughout the United States. Although no home listed here could be considered modest by most standards, the largest home manages to outsize the smallest by over 50,000 square feet.
