Episode Highlights

Different Strokes for Different Folks

Consumer behavior is drastically different from one generation to the next. Understanding the needs and tendencies of each generation of luxury home-buyers will be a vital component as you develop your real estate marketing strategy.

In this episode, Louise digs into the generational differences between luxury buyers, and points out key similarities about what drives today’s luxury buyers, regardless of their age.

Louise points out that Gen Xers and Millennials are more inclined to purchase investment properties for cash flow, whereas Baby Boomers tend to own lots of different properties to use for their families and extended families. 

Similarly, Gen Xers and Millennials have different preferences than Baby Boomers when it comes to properties, and tend to shy away from ones that will require additional work or investment, opting instead for finished properties that are the closest fit for their needs.

Real Estate is the Foundation of Lifestyle

Luxury clients lead a very particular lifestyle, and real estate is at the core of it. As Louise puts it, “Real estate makes up the net worth and the portfolio of anybody…your money is in your real estate.” 

When most people think “luxury”, they think of brands like Louis Vuitton, Aston Martin, Chanel, Hermes, and other opulent labels – while real estate is “just” real estate. And while big names and high-end products are all certainly part of living a lavish lifestyle, everyone has to go home to something, and the place they call home is typically the foundation of the life they’re trying to create. 

Louise goes on to say, “No one buys a $5M home and puts a crappy car in the driveway and furnishes it with Ikea,” which is to say that no luxury lifestyle is complete without the home of your dreams, and that’s exactly what luxury real estate marketing aims to communicate.
