\"Why<\/p>\n

As vaccines are administered and travel resumes, many of us are beginning to plan for those long-awaited vacations we missed out on over the past year. Some households are focusing their efforts on buying a vacation home rather than staying in a hotel, too. The National Association of Home Builders<\/em> (NAHB) reports<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSecond homes<\/strong> (i.e., homes sold to buyers who are not going to occupy the home year-round, but use it as a vacation home<\/strong>, investment property, etc.) account for 15 percent of new single-family home sales.\u201d<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s not surprising that there\u2019s an increase in demand for vacation homes. The majority of Americans are realizing they prefer to be around small groups, as shown in a recent survey<\/a> from The Harris Poll<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSocial distancing taught consumers new things about how they like to socialize; (75%) said, \u2018during COVID social distancing I realized I preferred smaller social gatherings at home or at friends\u2019 place.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not only are vacation homes seen as a potentially more pandemic-friendly way to travel and socialize, but they can also serve as an extended home-away-from-home. With more Americans being given the option to continue working remotely or retire earlier than expected, vacation homes can be used year-round. The NAHB explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cRemote work arrangements have made it possible for some wealthier Americans to move to alternate locations that are not just small, suburban shifts from within their current metro area.\u00a0 More fundamentally, second home demand may also be benefitting by an acceleration of retirement plans, as well as stock market gains.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The demand for vacation homes has increased and will continue to rise as we head into summer. If you own a house in a destination area and have thought about selling, now is a great time to take advantage of today\u2019s high buyer interest.
