LUXURY

No longer is price the defining factor to categorize luxury…although some Real Estate professional would say otherwise. Once defined as $1 Million and up, $1 Million simply will NOT get you a “Luxury Property” in certain parts of the county. Enter the sliding scale, a scale used to level the luxury playing field by area. If the property is in the overall top 10 percent of the specific market, then it can be thought of as luxury.

However, it is more accurate to define luxury with an entirely new set of dynamics – and those dynamics vary because luxury means a lot of different things to different people. As it turns out…Luxury is in the Eye of the Beholder. Here are just a few of the new ways to define luxury.

• Prime location
• Large Lot/Acreage
• High-End Interior Finishes Such As Marble Countertops
• Professional-Quality Kitchen Appliances
• Customized Closets
• Designed by Prestigious Architect
• Hotel-Like Amenities Such As Concierge Services
• Top-Of-The-Line Fitness Center
