<p>As people realize their needs are changing, some are turning to luxury housing to find their dream home. <em>Investopedia </em>helps define what pushes a home into this category. In a <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/092414/investing-luxury-real-estate.asp">recent article</a>, they point out that a luxury home isn’t only defined by its price. Location is also an important factor. It could be a condo at a desirable city address, a spacious home on the water, or one with access to luxury activities like arts and entertainment, high-end shopping and dining, and more. The home itself will also boast some of the finest features available.<span id="more-46628"></span></p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.luxuryhomemarketing.com/assets/LMR_NorthAmerica.pdf"><em>Luxury Market Report</em></a> from the <em>Institute for Luxury Home Marketing</em>, <strong>there’s been a substantial increase in how many buyers are purchasing luxury homes over the past two years.</strong> It says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“. . . North America recorded the fastest growth of demand during the first year of the pandemic. <strong>Also, demand has </strong>. . .<strong> consistently increased, and</strong> <strong>even in April 2022, we saw a higher volume of sales compared to 2021.</strong>”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you own a luxury home, it could be a great time to <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/2022/05/04/your-house-could-be-closer-to-list-ready-than-you-think/?a=712984-fa409495d5d70154d03a25e81e9540e2">list your house</a> today while demand is so high. But first, let’s understand where the demand is coming from.</p>
<h4><strong>What’s Driving the Heightened Buyer Demand for High-End Homes?</strong></h4>
<p>The same report says more people have reached a certain net-worth threshold, and that’s contributing to the increased interest in luxury housing:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“In 2020, we saw a 2.2% growth in the number of individuals with wealth of over $5 million in net value, but in 2021 that number grew by an outstanding 19.8%. </em></p>
<p><strong><em>This total increase has resulted in the introduction of over 660,000 new individuals into the high net-worth bracket, which, combined with the existing affluent looking to both diversify and add new properties to their portfolio, provides a true insight into why the demand for luxury properties skyrocketed during 2021 and into 2022</em></strong><em>.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, if you’re looking to make changes to your real estate portfolio or are <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/2022/05/16/if-youre-a-homeowner-you-have-incredible-leverage-when-you-sell-today/?a=712984-fa409495d5d70154d03a25e81e9540e2">looking to sell</a> your current house, it may be a <a href="https://www.simplifyingthemarket.com/2022/04/28/what-you-need-to-know-about-selling-in-a-sellers-market/?a=712984-fa409495d5d70154d03a25e81e9540e2">great time to list</a> and benefit from the high demand for luxury homes today.</p>
