What are Buyers Looking for in Luxury Home Communities?

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Golf Life Properties, LLC

 

After all, they’re buying estate houses for sale because they want to live like a rock star.

When builders choose amenities in communities like Hawk’s Landing Plantation FL, how important are the quality of the materials?

 Plantation for sale

It seemed in 2004, buyers were not only paying above appraised values (seems like so long ago) but they also were willing to purchase sight unseen and with other unimaginable conditions of sale waived.  Fast forward to 2008, and a home might be marketed to include FREE flat screen TVs or even gas cards.

 

But regardless of the condition of the real estate market, here in Ft Lauderdale FL US, builders and developers rarely take for granted what life in Luxury South Florida is all about---RECREATION.  In a neighborhood with multi million dollar estates, the clubhouse and other amenities have to be top notch.

The Hawks Landing Club is a 15,000 sq foot Mediterranean style clubhouse with seven lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, an impressive pool, full service spa and state of the art fitness center.  Activities at Hawks Landing Club include aerobic classes, wine tasting, book club, casino night as well as many activities that are especially designed for kids.

 

 

 

Hawks Landing Club has SEVEN Har-Tru lighted tennis courts where residents and their guests can enjoy private lessons as well as member & exhibition tournaments year round.

 

A Har-Tru clay surface tennis court offers a number benefits as compared to playing on a hard court.  Reduced and lessened severity of injuries, allows for more frequent play, and the private tennis courts stay cooler in the sun and dryer in the rain.

I'm in a resort market but our weather in the winter limits many of the outdoor amenities.  In the winter we are a California Ski Resort and in the Summer it's a mountain bike park with plenty of hiking, camping, fishing and exploring opportunities.  The people that visit summer or winter have entirely different tastes.  Our winter ski enthusiasts are looking for luxuries such as a shuttle service, pre-arrival grocery shopping, indoor pool and spas that use saline rather than chlorine, state of the art fitness equipment, concierge services, child supervision/babysitting and of course, the most coveted of all, ski in ski out access.

Cut to our summer visitors and they are predominantly naturalists who like to camp and live simply so luxury amenities are not as important to these people.  One of the favorite natural luxuries of our area are the natural hot springs located throughout the area.  They are not commercialized, they are small little pools in a field or in the mountainous terrain and open to everyone.  This is the nature person's preference over a community hot tub at a condo complex.
