    Luxury homes are the epitome of class, style, and opulence.

    Offering the best of the best in architecture and design, these homes incorporate premium building materials, breathtaking aesthetics, deluxe finishes, and so much more. Expansive spaces in the best locations and cutting edge smart tech ensure privacy and security, while a wide range of amenities elevate your quality of life.

    What exactly does it take to make a luxury home luxury—and what are the latest trends from luxury real estate influencers? Let’s take a closer look.

    Price tag

    Luxury homes are the most expensive houses on the market because they offer the best of the best—but there’s no magic number that automatically indicates that a home is a luxury property. Since home values vary widely from market to market, the range for luxury homes varies similarly.

    Some definitions of “luxury real estate” state that a home’s value must fall into the top 10% of homes in a particular market for it to be considered luxury. Others require the home’s price to be twice the average home value in the area. See more information from Bankrate.

    Amenities

    Luxury homes offer a wide range of amenities that are not typically found in other types of homes. These amenities often include:

    Gourmet, chef's kitchens with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances

    Spa bathrooms featuring soaking tubs, premium materials, and ethereal designs

    Private recreational facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and more

    Home theaters, game rooms, and other entertainment spaces

    Design

    Luxury homes are where art meets convenience, and they’re designed to be both beautiful and extremely functional. They often feature:

    Luxury materials such as hardwood, marble, quartz, and travertine

    Custom design and architecture that extends far beyond production homes

    Incredible attention to detail from the crown molding to the floorboards

    Expansive windows that allow natural light to pour into the home

    Flowing floor plans that cater to the specific needs of the household

    Location and privacy

    You’ll usually find luxury homes in prime locations near desirable amenities, such as beaches, lakes, golf courses, and more.

    They’re also often located in exclusive neighborhoods and master-planned communities. These communities have controlled access and 24-hour security, which helps result in high property values and low crime rates.

    Luxury homes also offer a high level of privacy because they tend to have larger-than-average lot sizes and many security features, and they may be located in areas secluded from traffic, noise.

    Looking for a luxury home?

    Steph is no stranger to real estate and what it takes to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Prior to her coming on board with Mark Carr about 19 years ago, she assisted DM Larkin Builders as a sales rep at the popular Lombard Pines and Tyler's Harvest communities. Steph's activities include, but aren't limited to, making sure that each buyer and seller have the daily support needed and the ability to contact her with any of their needs during and after the sales transactions. Steph is a perfect compliment to the high energy, high paced representation that The CCY Team brings to all transactions. She knows the importance of attention to details and that time is of the essence in fulfilling all the tasks associated with the real estate transaction. You can be sure that Steph will be there with our clients from the start to finish!
