Forbes: Real Estate Experts Share ROI Trends Of Wellness Design Home Features, SADHU SMART HOMES
What will the many built-in wellness design improvements we’ve added in recent years do to enhance our homes’ value to prospective buyers? Which ones are builders prioritizing in their new construction projects?
Paul Scialla, CEO of the wellness-focused technology, design and real estate firm Delos, and founder of the International WELL Building Institute, agrees: “Buyers are willing to pay the premium for wellness real estate, which averages 10 to 25% higher than traditional real estate.” Beyond the awareness of a home’s ventilation systems for virus spread that was created by Covid, “homebuyers now have a better understanding of dangerous pollutants and chemicals,” notes Scialla. He predicts that air purifying technology sales will double globally by the end of the decade, with the U.S. remaining a dominant market.
“In addition to air purification, there is significant interest in water filtration and dynamic lighting solutions,” Scialla adds. “As more millennials and Gen Z enter the housing market, these technologies and automations will be in even higher demand.”
