High End vs. Luxury Affordable Homes in NC

April 4, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

A number of builders are turning their sights to affordable luxury projects. The market for these types of homes is growing especially within certain areas. So what is an affordable luxury home? And how is it different from a high end luxury home?  

Affordable Luxury Homes 

Affordable luxury homes are premium properties built at a target of being in the financial reach of a much larger number of buyers. These homes are targeted more to middle class and upper middle class buyers instead of a lower percentage of ultra-rich or high net worth individuals.  High End vs. Luxury Affordable Homes in NC

Many  home developers stand to make most of their income in the luxury market, the limitation is that high-end properties are catered to a class that makes up less than 10% of the buying market.  Building affordable luxury homes allows for a builder to focus on a larger group of buyers.  

Many of these affordable luxury homes are built with the “luxury is a state of mind” concept. These homes provide a higher quality than your typical tract home with a distinct luxury flavor all without spending so much money on the building project that it prices out a large number of buyers. These homes provide a comparable luxury experience to their high-end counterparts in style, efficiency and advanced features without the staggering costs. Many affordable luxury homes are offered in large communities or townships in locations that are slightly more affordable.  

Some may think that these affordable luxury homes are being made to compete with high-end properties but it is not the case. They simply offer a higher quality of living to folks who are not set on brand names rather they are looking for something nicer and moving into a bigger, safer, more comfortable living experience with added amenities at a price that can be mortgaged.  

High- End Luxury Homes 

Though the percentage of buyers for high- end properties is smaller, with tech and start up companies becoming more and more prominent the number of high net worth individuals is growing.  

With the growth in numbers comes a growing demand in homes built with top of the line materials. High-end luxury homes offer the finest in all things luxury. This includes top of the line appliances, custom cabinetry, the finest stone counter tops, styling by accredited designers and more. You see,  brand names and the craftsman who created the home do matter.  

You will only find high end luxury properties in the most desirable of locations. Right in the center of uptown urban neighborhoods or tucked into prestigious small towns. These homes  are not usually found in mega neighborhoods rather smaller more private settings or high rises with very astute doormen.  

You will also find that a number of these homes are not listed on the open market or highly advertised. A high-end luxury home is best found through a knowledgeable luxury buyer’s agent. 

Both types of luxury homes have their benefits and target market group. One thing is for sure when you are looking to purchase a luxury property a buyer’s agent can and will be of great help to find you the perfect home.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
