Biking is Fun along 30A

Biking is Fun along 30A

One of the great things about living in a 30A luxury home is you get to enjoy biking at its finest.

With the health and fitness revolution around the globe happening now, one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy is trading your four wheels for two. Time to park your car and park your excuses for not exercising, too!

What makes biking on 30A great is its amazing paved paths stretching 18 miles long which allows bikers to push their pedals in safety and comfort.

30A is getting more biker-friendly with its latest addition to the bike path, the Seagrove Stretch. 

Numerous bike racks are available up and down the stretch of 30A as well as in the beach communities. Even restaurants on 30A are adding bike racks to appeal to the growing number of bikers and cyclists. You can say there are now more parking spaces for bikes than there are for cars, which gives you more reason to leave your car in your luxury 30A home.

No bike? No problem! You can either purchase or rent a bike in one of the many bike and rental shops along 30A.

Whether you choose to bike for sport, for exercise, or for recreation, you will definitely enjoy biking along 30A in comfort and style.

Buyers of 30A Luxury Homes for Sale Prioritize Wants Over Needs

Buyers of 30A Luxury Homes for Sale Prioritize Wants Over Needs

Buyers of 30A luxury homes for sale wants may not exactly go hand-in-hand with what they need. In the luxury home market, buyers prioritize their wants over their needs when selecting luxury homes. 

Among the many wants of 30A luxury home buyers are properties with amazing views. Whether the 30A home for sale is a waterfront property or inland, it is important that your home offers spectacular views and your windows and home staging should be able to highlight and maximize those views.

Huge extra spaces also draw in more luxury home buyers. That extra space can be used for a home theater, sports lounge, bowling alley, game room, fitness center, or even parking for the homeowners several luxury cars.

In luxury homes, square footage has appeal. The key is to make space functional. Luxury home buyers sometimes run out of ideas what to put in these spacious homes. Some luxury homeowners even say they aren’t able to use 80% of the rooms in their home. It would be great to stage the home in a way that will give them ideas how to use all that space.

Wine cellars are also a popular added feature which is now becoming a necessity in most luxury homes.

When staging and preparing your 30A luxury home for sale, always remember that meeting the buyer’s wants will sell your home faster than meeting their needs.
