The luxury home market is being fueled by a new generation of wealthy potential home buyers. A boom in inherited wealth among Millennials is increasing demand for large spaces and fancy features. Older affluent people are choosing to downsize, while younger counterparts want more square footage — 23% of them want at least 20,000.

Most of the active home shoppers who are looking for homes priced at $1 million or more are under 50. According to a recent report, one in four high net worth home shoppers in the 25-49 age range were seeking houses of 20,000 square feet or more. For buyers over 50, it’s only only 6%.

These new affluent buyers are demanding high end features including hot tubs, commercial-grade kitchen appliances, and modern security cameras. They prefer locations with easy access to good restaurants and reasonable proxmity to family members.

40% of those surveyed under 50 expect to inherit at least $1 million, while the average inheritance is around $3.8 million. Tax laws passed under George W. Bush allowed more wealth to flow to today’s heirs. Over 171,000 families gifted at least $1 million between 2011 and 2014. Another economic stimulus will arrive as the new tax law which lowers tax rates takes effect. This boom in demand for luxury homes will be further lifted by a surging stock market.

The desire for larger homes began in the U.S. housing market after the foreclosure crisis in 2008. Builders focused on constructing larger, higher-end houses and condominiums. Median home construction peaked in 2015 but today’s new homes are still nearly 50 percent larger than when the U.S. Census Bureau began tracking housing trends in the late 1970s.

Palmerton may provide the perfect location for millennials to build their luxury homes and grand estates.

Imagine entering the estate by a smooth driveway winding through carefully manicured greenery. The rolling lawn is adorned with select trees and hedges along stone border wall in a statement of elegance and serenity. It’s a masterpiece and once you see it, you want to stay forever. Your luxury home could be a centerpiece of elegant and tasteful style.

Entertain friends in a spacious and stately dining room with patterned hardwood floors. Relax in front of a regal fireplace in your formal living room with wide bay window offering ample natural light. The family room is comfortable, yet modern with a ready supply of video and audio entertainments for the whole family.

Create in a chef’s kitchen a dream come true. Custom glazed cabinets are a statement of class, angled flooring, and marble or concrete counter tops and backsplash. Picture high-end, stainless appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators, and two Viking cooktops (one gas and one electric). If you intend to stylishly entertain, add two stainless dishwashers, double ovens with a warming drawer, and a microwave or convection oven. A generous floor plan allows the kitchen to open into a sizable breakfast space with the bay area leading outside to a deck or patio.

Imagine a master bedroom suite as a luxurious refuge of comfort and peace, totally isolated from noises in the rest of the home. Create a royally equipped bathroom with his and hers sides with separate vanities, large walk-in closets and built-in cabinets. This kind of luxury would is completed by providing a large whirlpool tub and over-sized, two-person, walk-in shower. Your master suite might feature a sitting area with its own fireplace, bookcases, and even a bar and refrigerator. Tall French doors lead onto a balcony from where you can view the entire estate.

In addition to a considerable number of bedrooms, you may decide to build a guest suite with its own bathrooms, a convenient kitchen and family area to relax. Often, larger estates will contain a completely separate guest residence adjoining or next to the main house. If you plan on having friends or family visit, even guests require their privacy and time alone.
