BUYER S AR E FI N DI N G MOR E SPA CE I N THE LU XURY HOME MA R KET
A year ago, additional space and extra amenities had a very different feel for homebuyers. Today, the health crisis has brought to light how valuable more square footage and carefully designed floorplans can be. Home offices, multi-purpose rooms, gyms, and theaters are becoming more popular, and some families are finding the space they need for these upgrades in the luxury market. The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM) explains, “With quarantine concerns still top of mind for many luxury buyers, we see large, sprawling estates making their comeback. For instance, the last six months have seen a resurgence in the buying of mega mansions and estate-
size homes - specifically properties that offer space (both inside and outside), separate home offices, gyms, and private amenities such as swimming pools, yoga studios, and recreation rooms.� This was not the case at this time last year, as the most recent Luxury Market
Source: Buyers Are Finding More Space in the Luxury Home Market. (10/1/2020). Keeping Current Matters. https://www.mykcm.com/2020/10
Report from ILHM emphasizes that “Exactly one year ago, we reported that demand for large properties, mega mansions, private estates, and luxury ranches had reduced significantly over the previous few years; especially from the younger generation of luxury property buyers.” For today’s buyers looking for larger homes, steady increases in equity might be what makes a move possible. Leveraging home equity makes it easier to afford the down payment on a luxury home, and current low interest rates are making mortgage payments more affordable than they have been in years. The report from ILHM also notes that “Luxury real estate prices may continue to strengthen further into the third quarter, as the affluent continue to see large investment returns from the currently strong stock market. Coupled with the low interest rates, the policies granting (and insisting) on working from home implemented by many employers, and the concerns of the pandemic, all translate to the affluent increasingly trading in their

city lifestyle for a home that has it all.” Clearly, today’s strong gains in home equity paired with record-low interest rates make fall a great time to move up into the luxury market to meet those changing needs.
BOTTOM LINE If you’re ready to gain some breathing room in a larger home, let’s connect so you have the guidance you need to find more space in the luxury home market.

Homeownership is the Key to Building Wealth For years, real estate has been considered the best investment you can make. A major reason for this is due to the net worth a household gains through homeownership. In fact, according to the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finance Data from the Federal Reserve, for the average homeowner a primary home accounts for 90% of the total wealth of a family in the U.S.
How do homeowners gain wealth? Most large purchases, like cars and appliances, depreciate in value as they age, so it’s understandable to question how owning a home can increase wealth over time. In a simple equation, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains how the combination of paying your mortgage and home price appreciation grow overall wealth: Principal Payments + Price Appreciation Gains = Housing Wealth Gain As home values increase and you make payments toward your home loan, you’ll gain wealth through equity. NAR also addresses how wealth gains tend to play out over time: “Housing wealth accumulation takes time and is built up by paying off the mortgage debt and by price appreciation. And while home prices can fall, home prices tend to recover and go up over the longer term. As of September 2020, the median sales price of existing home sales was $311,800, a 35% gain since July 2006 when prices peaked at $230,000.”
Taking a look at how equity has grown for the typical homeowner, it’s clear to see how real estate is a sound long-term investment. NAR notes Nationally, a person who purchased a typical home 30 years ago would have typically gained about $283,000 as of the second quarter of 2020 (see graph).

The calculation shows housing wealth gains accumulated for a typical home purchased 5, 10, 15, or 30 years ago and sold at the median sales price as of 2020 Q2. The calculation assumes a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage plus points, fees, and a 10% down payment. The calculation is illustrative of the wealth gain from homeownership. The actual home equity gains accrued over time will vary by property and will depend on home improvements undertaken over time. These home improvements costs are not taken into the calculations.
Bottom Line? Whether you’re a current homeowner planning to put your equity toward a new home or have hopes of buying your first home soon, homeownership will always be a great opportunity to build your net worth and overall wealth. Owning a home is truly an investment in your financial future.
