Luxury Real Estate 2025: Wellness, Privacy, and Intelligent Living

Today’s luxury buyers want sanctuary + tech + sustainability—and they’ll pay for it when it’s executed well.
5 defining trends
-
Wellness-first homes: spa-level baths, infrared/steam/sauna, recovery rooms, biophilic design.
-
Smart & sustainable: energy management, whole-home automation, EV infrastructure, resilient materials.
-
Privacy & security: site selection, gated access, discreet layouts, robust smart security.
-
Indoor-outdoor flow: resort-style amenities and entertainment zones.
-
Selective markets, selective buyers: Inventory is improving, but buyers are picky; pricing precision matters.
Selling luxury? Lead with experience: wellness features, energy performance, and privacy engineering. Buying? Elevate inspections to include systems integration, resiliency, and long-term maintenance costs.
