What are Buyers Looking for in Luxury Homes?
Demand for luxury property has seen an all-time high in Australia in recent years, with certain buyer trends driving record prestige property transactions amongst high-class audiences.
If you’re considering seizing this opportunity and placing your property up for sale, here are three qualities that you should ensure the home possesses prior:
Modern, prestigious, and ‘wow’ factor design
Recently, homes amongst luxury buyers have seen a shift towards modern and trendy designs, with industry reports revealing that luxury homebuyers are highly disinterested in outdated features, even if the home has been newly constructed.
With this in mind, it’s ideal that prior to placing your property on the market, you have carried out renovations that bring the home up to current design standards.
Sure-fire ways to reimagine the interior for timeless trendiness may involve an opulent entryway, a modern floor plan, high ceilings, and ample natural lighting. Interior design trends and home features are constantly changing and evolving, so be sure to stay up to date with the latest.
Jaw-dropping views and a fabulous location
Expansive properties that offer privacy and easy access to local amenities are optimal for luxury buyers. As we’ve observed throughout our countless sales within the Hamilton and Ascot suburbs, what really distinguishes a prestige property from competing listings is its proximity to facilities such as restaurants, bars, airports, and the central business district.
You don’t necessarily need a waterfront view to sell a luxury home, however, the outlook from a property does play a major role in its appeal to upper class buyers. Our top sales in areas such as Hamilton have made the most of the surrounding natural landscape, and have assured that every window and outdoor view is appealing for potential residents.
Exquisite features and integrated automation
Recent surveys have shown that 81% of agents agree that clients seek home automation as their most desired feature. However, in such innovative times, this transcends the typical smart home integrations.
Think along the lines of seamless and experience-centric technology. Features such as state-of-the-art wireless security, smartphone controlled lighting and thermostats, electric car docking stations, and energy-producing roofs.
Prior to putting a prospective property on the market, it is essential to go beyond buyer expectations. Keeping your finger on the pulse of interior and exterior design trends can make a real difference to the value of the home.
