The current state of the second home vacation market and the potential for
future growth is best observed with these comments:
They are commonly known as the ‘Me' generation’ and It has been confirmed by
demographic research that Boomers are certainly that, as they have both the
desire and the resources to indulge their aspirations to a luxury lifestyle.
Research continues to confirm a strong desire for this population segment to
own two or more properties to maintain multiple residence options throughout
the year. There are 80 million baby boomers about to retire in the next five
to 15 years who are inclined to pursue places that are warm or
recreation-minded.
In 2007, the National Association of Realtors issued a lengthy report on the
second-home market in an effort to get a handle on owners and what motivated
their purchases.
It found the typical second-home owner is 61 years old, has a household
income with two wage earners of $76,900, is married with no children living
at home and has owned the property for nine years. Median time spent
annually in vacation homes was eight weeks.
Seventy-eight percent of second-home owners said they purchased their homes
for recreational use, but a growing number of owners are buying second homes
as investment properties and are leaving the volatile stock market behind.
Surprisingly, few vacation-home owners ever rent out their homes, the report
found, and most investment-home owners never use their second homes as a
place of residence.
Citing census data, the report said there were 3.6 million so-called
seasonal homes in the nation in the third quarter of 2002, an increase from
3.1 million in 1990 and 1.7 million in 1980. The second-home market
comprises nearly 6 percent of all homes purchased in the United States in
2001.
"Whether used as a vacation home, an investment vehicle, or both, second
homes have become increasingly popular and have helped fuel the growth in
the housing market," the report concluded.
With an overwhelming preference, however, toward leisure use, the first
hurdle for second-home buyers is to decide how far away they want their
getaway home to be from their primary residence.
PropertiesTV brings advertisers premium video programming, while defining a
new standard in quality of presentation combined with the impact of Internet
TV for achieving new levels of advertising effectiveness in the fast growing
second home vacation market targeted to the wealthiest global consumers--the
enlarging population of BabyBoomers.
