“Outdoor living spaces are huge,” Altman said. “[Buyers are seeking outdoor spaces] with kitchens, fire pits and lounges for entertaining.”

Luxury buyers don’t want to have to leave the house for their workouts and wellness rituals.

“Home wellness centers are in high demand, with gyms and spas for that resort vibe right at home,” Altman said.

Gourmet Kitchens

Kitchens with top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of space for food prep are at the top of many high-end buyers’ lists.

“Gourmet kitchens are must-haves, serving as the heart of the home with high-end appliances and custom features,” Altman said.
