When you can take your high-performance lifestyle — work, exercise, downtime, and all other pillars of life — with you to the comfort (and convenience) of home, you’ve struck the perfect equation.
Between geographic location, interior style, and amenities, everyone is looking for their own personalized combination; whether that’s a walkable city (so you can get in those steps), bustling hotspots, and/or local attractions that offer opportunities to be active.
“In general, what I am noticing is that buyers aren’t necessarily demanding a home gym like the trend of a couple of decades ago,” says Marty Byrd, a real estate associate at Carriage Properties in Charleston, SC. “Home equipment is a backup or supplement to more social workouts.”
That preference, of course, can depend on location and buyer.
In Knoxville, TN, Jennifer Scates, a residential broker at Wallace Real Estate, says many people are still looking for at-home gyms to lift and lunge. “Covid caused people to become more in tune with their health needs, both physically and mentally,” she says. “And having the space and equipment at home makes using these amenities that much easier.”
No matter where the home is, real estate agents agree that both finding a home and wellness goals are extremely personal. “Clients in the luxury space are high achievers in business and in life, and they will settle for only the best,” says Scates.
