What Makes A Home "Luxury"?

Luxury homes are the epitome of class, style, and opulence. Offering the best of the best in architecture and design, these homes incorporate premium building materials, breathtaking views, deluxe finishes, and so much more. But, what exactly does it take to make a luxury home luxury?  Let’s take a closer look.

The Price Tag

Luxury homes are the most expensive houses on the market because they offer the best of the best—but there’s no magic number that automatically indicates that a home is a luxury property. Since home values vary widely from market to market, the range for luxury homes varies similarly.

Design

Building Materials:
