At the top of the market, priorities are shifting from size to quality of experience.

  1. Wellness spaces: saunas, cold plunges and spa-grade bathrooms
  2. Privacy by design: landscape screening and discreet entries
  3. Smaller footprints with exceptional materials
  4. Serious home offices with separate entrances
  5. Energy independence: solar, batteries and heat pumps

Homes that deliver on these themes are commanding premiums of 8–12% over comparable properties.
