BABY BOOMERS LIKE LUXURIOUS AMENITIES
Do you want to position your home to attract the affluent baby boomer resale market, those Americans aged 50 and older? These homeowners know the value of real estate investment. They are buying up second and vacation homes, and relocating to homes uniquely suited to living out their golden years in comfort. What kind of homes are they looking for?
Mature home shoppers want homes that are convenient and outfitted with the latest technology and home design features. They want attractive homes to invite their children and grandchildren to for family gatherings and to host friends for social occasions. Amenities such as master suites with large bathrooms and walk-in closets, home offices with high-speed internet, fine hardwood floors, home gyms with spas and swimming pools, and outdoor entertainment spaces are popular. Higher ceilings add open space and wider doorways accommodate wheelchairs, an important aging-in-place feature.
Adding popular amenities can increase the resale value and attractiveness of your home.
