a What to Know Before Buying a Luxury Home by Peter Palivos | Jul 23, 2020 | Peter Palivos, Real Estate
When it comes time to decide on becoming a homeowner, there are numerous factors to consider. Some people lean towards the side of a luxury property, which includes numerous perks and added bene ts not available in a typical home. Before diving in, however, there are important costs to consider if you choose to enter the world of luxury home ownership. The rst thing to remember is that they might not be listed publicly among other homes in the area. It’s recommended that you nd a trustworthy local realtor who can look up the multiple listing service (MLS) number of available homes. They might have access that generic, public services like Zillow don’t have access to. Realtors also have personal connections that non-industry people wouldn’t have, which puts them in the inner circle for upcoming properties that will be going on the market down the road.
When looking at a house, it’s important to view more than just aerial photos from the web. Ideally, your realtor will be able to provide either a virtual video tour or image gallery, but you can also use the street view feature of google and bing maps to form your own assessments. Buying a house is more than a one-time purchase. Even if you pay in cash without a mortgage, there are still taxes and maintenance costs to consider, in addition to homeowner’s insurance and potential association fees in some cases. The upkeep of luxury homes is higher than with traditional style homes because of all the extra amenities. In addition, some of the most luxurious homes are on the older side and more prone to wear and tear. There are, of course, many advantages as well. High-quality, top of the line appliances are usually part of the sale, and countertops and surfaces are made with superior materials. Depending on the level of luxury, homes may include swimming pools, indoor gyms, saunas, in-law quarters, wine cellars, or even a cinema. As far as an investment goes, luxury homes are more likely to maintain their value. The fact that they are most likely in well-respected neighborhoods means that their worth will remain relatively unchanged. It might take longer to sell a luxury property, but the gains will be worthwhile.
