I read an interesting article lately in Realtor Magazine about wellness and why it matters in real estate.
In recently study by America at Home involving 6000 consumers nationally, health and connections topped the list as a #1 motivator for buyers.
So why does it matter? According to Global Wellness Institute, 80-90% of health outcomes are NOT genetics. Well-designed living spaces that prioritize elements like clean air and water, natural light, safe streets, sustainability, and opportunities for social connection directly contribute to both longevity and well-being. Beyond just promoting greater physical activity, communities that prioritize wellness also report lower rates of chronic disease and significantly higher levels of satisfaction.
Digging deeper, I learned that it's not just about walking or gyms, it's about neighbors and communities, cooking and relaxing, and living a balanced life.
So what is wellness design?
To summarize, Physical well being, mental health, social connection, financial health, and sustainability for our environment are the keystones to a healthy living environment.
This gets me thinking about the community lifestyles and choices offered in Tucson's active adult communities for folks over 55+. (on average) We've got a few of those - and a quick 3 are SaddleBrooke, Sun City Oro Valley, and Heritage Highlands in Marana. There are more, but these are a starting place. Here's a quick link to some of the available properties: https://link.flexmls.com/152zzu51csp6,12
