The 50+ market is one of the fastest growing housing markets in the nation. Hundreds of builders are clamoring to jump on board this fast moving train. With the influx of new buyers and the current state of the economy, it's more important than ever to be aware of what buyers are looking for in an active adult community.
In a 2009 study conducted by the National Association for Home Builders and MetLife Mature Market Institute, new data was oncovered that might change the way builders design homes for the active adult market in the future.
Contrarty to popular belief, active adults ages 55-64 ranked social activities and amentities as very low priorities when choosing a new home. Instead this demographic eas moe interested in things such as housekeeping, onsite health care, transportation, home maintenance and repair. These items were typically associated with a much holder generation.
In keeping with traditional active adult building values, those aged 65+ showed a strong interest in single-story floorplans with a universal design for their next home purchase.
One community that offers active adults exactly what they are looking for is Heron Bay Golf and Country Club in Henry County. This Atlanta golf community has plenty of resort style amentities, home maintence options, and single-story floorplans perfect for any active adult.
