The New Face of Luxury Real Estate for 2025: How Shifting Buyer Preferences Are Creating New Opportunities

As we close the book on 2024 and approach 2025, evolving buyer preferences are reshaping luxury real estate in the most dynamic market across the country—New York, Boston, and Miami. These vibrant cities are witnessing a surge in demand for properties that goes above and beyond the standard notion of luxury. Today’s buyers are more discerning than ever, seeking properties that transcend aesthetics and design, and are defined by personalized experiences, as well as a commitment to smarter and more sustainable living. 

->Driven By Experience 

Standout architecture and premium finishes are no longer enough to impress buyers and renters in today’s market —it’s about the experience a property delivers. Over the past year, we’ve seen a major shift toward amenity and service-driven properties that align with the modern lifestyle, especially when it comes to leisure and well-being. These buyers work hard and play hard, and are increasingly willing to trade in square footage for more enhanced living experiences. They are gravitating toward features like thoughtfully-curated fitness and spa facilities, Olympic-sized pools, and professional-grade pickleball and basketball courts. Exclusive dining lounges as well as outdoor spaces have also emerged as essential value-adds.

Developers are responding to these demands by not only integrating experience-focused features into new developments but also activating them in novel ways through strategic partnerships, access and programming. In cities like Miami, Boston and New York, this trend is only increasing as we work closely with developers to establish elevated experiences that fulfills the needs of the more affluent and aspirational buyers.

->Eco-Conscious Living 

Today’s buyers are not just looking for an impressive property but a forward-thinking one. The luxury sector is seeing a surge in demand for sustainable buildings, with developers in all three cities incorporating eco-friendly designs. From energy-efficient appliances to LEED-certified construction and eco-conscious materials, these sustainability measures appeal to buyers willing to pay a premium for properties that align with their values.

Boston, in particular, is seeing a rise in demand for green buildings. Properties incorporating energy-efficient systems, green roofs, and sustainable materials appeal to buyers who prioritize the environment without compromising on style or luxury. In Miami, developers are considering resilient, climate-responsive designs, with hurricane-proof structures and elevated foundations becoming more prevalent in high-end markets. This is also a priority for a new generation of younger buyers who strongly emphasize sustainability into their entire lifestyle.

One of our best-selling development projects in the past year was 110 North 1st in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Entering the market as a mid-sized condominium building offering a curated package of spa-inspired amenities and services, the building outperformed all of the other competing projects in the neighborhood.

->Looking Ahead 

As 2025 approaches, the luxury markets in New York, Boston, and Miami and beyond will continue this exciting evolution to align with the values of today’s buyers. Sustainability, experiential features, cutting-edge technology, and personalized services will take center stage in a way we have never seen before. There will be an even stronger focus on enhanced smart home and security systems and hospitality-inspired offerings such as wellness programs, curated events, dining, and concierge services.

Off the MRKT Q&A with Peter Zaitzeff, Sales Director of New Development at SERHANT.

Off the MRKT spoke with Peter Zaitzeff, New Development Sales Director at SERHANT., to discuss the firm’s innovative real estate marketing strategies, showcased in the Netflix hit Owning Manhattan. Peter offers insights into the unique allure of 200 Amsterdam — a best-selling luxury development on the Upper West Side featured on the show — and shares his perspective on emerging trends and buyer preferences in New York’s evolving luxury market.

Peter Zaitzeff

As New Development Sales Director at SERHANT., you're at the forefront of the company's rapid growth. How would you characterize SERHANT’s approach to real estate? What makes your team so successful?

SERHANT.’s approach leverages cutting-edge technology and a powerful social media presence, enabling us to stand out in today’s market. Ryan Serhant’s vision challenges the status quo and aims to truly disrupt the real estate industry.

Unlike traditional brokerage firms, SERHANT. has redefined how media is integrated into real estate, creating content that's both highly accessible and exceptionally polished. Our ‘Studios’ department illustrates this commitment — it's a dedicated in-house team focused on producing top-tier media content, which isn’t seen at other firms.

SERHANT. has become known for its innovative marketing and media presence, including the success of its Netflix reality show Owning Manhattan. How has the media exposure influenced the way you approach new development sales? 

Media exposure is essential in today's real estate market, particularly for new developments — it puts our properties on a global stage, reaching an international audience.  The response to Owning Manhattan has been phenomenal – our office has almost become a tourist destination, with people stopping by just to take photos of the building.

A luxury property on the Upper West Side, 200 Amsterdam, was featured in the season finale of Owning Manhattan. How has this type of exposure impacted buyer interest in the building?

Since the show aired, we've seen a significant increase in inquiries across the board. While a TV show alone can’t cement the sale of a luxury property, it has certainly generated considerable interest in 200 Amsterdam’s residences and attracted many prospective buyers following the building’s appearance in the finale. 

Tell me a little more about 200 Amsterdam. What sets the building apart from other luxury buildings on the Upper West Side?

200 Amsterdam, one of the tallest buildings on the Upper West Side, is a rare ground-up new development in the neighborhood that seamlessly blends classic New York architecture with modern amenities and conveniences. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the tower offers unbeatable views of nearby Central Park and the Hudson River. The 10-foot ceiling heights, meticulously-designed layouts, and expansive living and entertainment spaces elevate each residence, making them truly exceptional.

Which of the building’s features have resonated the most with prospects? 

200 Amsterdam’s open views of Central Park and the Hudson River are a major highlight, with some full-floor residences offering 360-degree panoramas so expansive that, on a clear day, you can see the Statue of Liberty. Buyers are also drawn to luxurious amenities like the 75-foot saltwater lap pool, state-of-the-art gym, sports simulator and composers-themed children’s playroom. The exclusive partnership with Lincoln Center, which provides residents with premier access to an array of performances, adds to the building’s unique appeal.

Additionally, the white-glove and concierge services, which can arrange everything from plane tickets to dinner reservations and dry cleaning, are particularly appealing to empty-nesters or those returning to the city after years in the suburbs, eager to experience the best of Manhattan.

We’re halfway through 2024. Looking at the New York City market, what are some of the key trends and buyer preferences we can expect throughout the rest of the year?

As we move into the latter half of 2024, we’re seeing a steady stream of contracts, especially from buyers focused on brand-new properties. Many of these are all-cash buyers from the tri-state area, looking for pied-à-terre units of varying sizes, intent on finalizing their purchases before any market uncertainty following the fall election. 

In terms of buyer preferences, there’s a strong demand for residences with comprehensive hotel-style amenities and services, like those I mentioned earlier. Some buyers are opting to downsize or purchase new properties rather than undertake renovations. We’re also seeing a notable transfer of generational wealth, with families investing in properties for the long term.

What is it about these luxury buildings that compels parents to pay all cash for their adult kids? How is this trend impacting the luxury market? 

Parents view these luxury buildings as solid, long-term investments for their adult children and future families. In the wake of the pandemic, there's also reassurance in knowing their children are in safe, secure buildings that offer everything they might need. This trend has been steadily growing since 2020, particularly among out-of-town buyers who prioritize full-service properties and proximity to institutions like Juilliard, Columbia and NYU. Even when buyers are purchasing for themselves, we’re seeing a rise in parents willing to pay a premium to be closer to their children attending college.

What advice would you give to someone looking to buy in the New York luxury real estate market today, whether as an investor or a first-time buyer?

My advice is to always aim for A+ properties, even in down markets — anything less is likely to suffer if the market shifts. A+ properties, like 200 Amsterdam, tend to perform well regardless of market conditions. It's important to find the right fit and act within the right time frame. As a broker, my philosophy is to help clients find a home they love that’s also the best possible investment for them.

You Only Have One Chance to Make a First Impression

By Lisa K. Lippman, Brown Harris Stevens

The goal when preparing a property for sale is to make sure that it looks as good as it possibly can. Each room should appear as a fresh and bright clean slate in an effort to help buyers imagine themselves living in the space. Whether it is an overlooked collection of products on the bathroom counter or a fuzzy film on the window that muddies the views, it is the little things that make all the difference.

Here, top Manhattan real estate agent Lisa K. Lippman shares four proven tips that will help your home make a great first impression.

Consider staging with fresh furniture.

If you are planning on moving, the furniture will likely need to be removed anyway. Declutter each room as much as possible, pack away collections and picture frames, and keep surfaces curated. Remember, less is always more.

Don’t miss a detail.

Make sure all light bulbs are working, do any needed paint touch-ups, clean rugs and replace dark colors with a lighter option, wash the windows, and regrout bathrooms and kitchens.

You’re best-off pricing close to where you think something’s going to sell.

When you price your home, forget aspirational pricing and everything you knew from a year ago. What is really important is to talk to your broker about where properties are trading now. You want to be the most attractive property, both in your product type and in your price point (5-7% of your price). If you make something very compelling in every way, you may not have to negotiate.

Account for renovations when pricing.

It can cost $700 per square foot and up to renovate these days, and it takes longer than it used to. You will also need to factor the cost of the buyer having to live someplace else while renovating. Those numbers add up and should all be kept in mind when pricing. 

Lisa K. Lippman

Lisa has been the number one agent at Brown Harris Stevens for the past eight consecutive years and was most recently named number six in New York City for seller represented sales, preceded only by large teams and actual companies. With over 25 years of leading industry experience, Lisa’s depth of expertise, marketing savvy, and personal attention to every detail is sought out by buyers and sellers of high-end cooperatives, condominiums, and townhomes throughout Manhattan.

After a period of stagnation, the real estate market will see a comeback this Spring

Manhattan is arguably one of the most competitive real estate markets, and it has earned the right to be. From stately prewar to shiny postwar buildings brimming with a thoughtful mix of classic and trendsetting design, there is a property that speaks to everyone. 

This Spring season will bring a renewed energy, marked by a wave of interested buyers, competition, and a return to financing. The following proven tips will help buyers prepare for success. 

• Confident, not cocky. Buyers will approach the Spring market thinking they have the upper hand, however, they will quickly realize that they in fact, do not. 

• Pressure is building. The pace of the market has quickened in-step with increased competition. To break away from the crowd, buyers will need to ensure that they have their ducks in a row at the onset of their search, and be prepared to react with smarter, more efficient offers.

• Appropriate is the new aggressive. Financing is creeping back into the market, high negotiability is a thing of the past and both sides will need to work a little bit harder. This season, buyers should be prepared to make offers closer to 5% within the asking price for the best chance of an accepted offer.

• Location, location, location. We’re seeing the perennially popular Soho, West Village, and prime Tribeca maintain rank among the city’s desired areas. Additionally, buyers continue to crave the Upper West Side and Upper East Side’s properties along the Park. 

• Bonus tip to all sellers. Sellers often do not act quickly enough when a market softens, and much too quickly when it seems the market has a positive outlook. Due to this, we will continue to have a price sensitive market. Sellers need to know the market and take the condition of their property into account. The cost of taking on renovations in New York City is high and the property must be priced rather attractively, otherwise people just won’t act on it.
