Key Takeaways
1. The high-end second home
market is a net growing market
With more buyers than sellers, the demand for second
homes is keeping home values high for luxury properties.
Buyers are likely to add to their portfolio— not replace.
Sellers are more likely to replace than to sell out
completely.
Sellers’ confidence in the short-term is a bit shaken, as
many are expecting a short-lived recession to hit. They
may simply be playing the market (which more perceive as
strong) and hedging their bets amid uncertain economic
times.
2. Younger buyers make up half
of the luxury second home market
right now
Buyers are coming to the table well-schooled. Many have
support from professional advisors that can help them craft
the best deals and avoid costly missteps.
They can also draw on personal experience as most come
from affluent backgrounds and are themselves quite well
off, particularly considering their age.
3. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals
are investing more aggressively
Most affluent consumers are staying the course or
becoming more conservative with investment risk. On the
other hand, one-in-five UHNWI are shifting toward a more
aggressive strategy.
4. Buyers are ultimately seeking a
life well-lived
Beyond their mind and body, these consumers are actively
pursuing social wellness at a rate not before measured.
This results in a consumer who is focused on active living
in a sustainable and technology-influenced way. In terms of
the home, they are likely to prefer places that make guests
feel at home with them.
