In the luxury market, over-the-top amenities dominate. The top luxury amenities do change from year to year depending on the newest trends in lifestyle and technology. But they always require extravagance and convenience. These are top 10 amenities sought after by luxury home buyers according to US News and World Report.

1. Home Automation Technology

Convenience is the ultimate luxury. Home automation systems offer entertainment, security, lighting controls, temperature adjustment and more at just the push of a button or the command of your voice.

2. Home Theaters and Entertainment Centers

They want a space to lounge with family and friends and enjoy the latest summer blockbuster without sacrificing the excitement and experience of the big screen. Many luxury homes feature their own entertainment centers with game rooms, billiard rooms, full bar areas and more. 

3. Wine and Tasting Rooms

Wine rooms have made a major resurgence as one of the most sought-after luxury amenities. Wine rooms have come front and center to become a major showpiece and a focal point for entertaining and innovative design.

4. Private Gyms and Spas

Fully equipped gyms, dedicated yoga rooms and spa rooms are cropping up in new luxury homes all over. Like all homebuyers, luxury shoppers are looking for homes with amenities and features to meet their needs and suit their lifestyle.

5. Showroom Garages

Car collectors and entertainers are looking for large garages and expansive motor courts to support parking for events and numerous vehicles.

6. Panoramic Views

View properties are the most coveted and most treasured accessory in the luxury market. In Los Angeles, it’s that unobstructed, head-on, panoramic city view – where it looks like you could reach out with your fingertips and pluck the lights out one by one – that’s most sought after.

7. Indoor-Outdoor Living

Open spaces and outdoor living rooms, cabanas, outdoor kitchens and dining areas are all sought after high-end features that add to the lifestyle experience.

8. Resort-Style Pools

Luxury buyers are looking for Olympic-sized lap pools, infinity pools that disappear seamlessly into city or ocean views, waterfalls, fountains, swim up bars and more. The more unique and the more dramatic – the greater the appeal.

9. Land and Privacy

Buyers are looking for a good-sized lot and usable land with mature landscaping and a private, gated driveway to protect from prying eyes.

10. Sports Courts

Luxury homes often feature basketball courts, tennis courts, putting greens, racquet ball courts, miniature baseball diamonds, bowling alleys and any number of lawn games or other sports setup to entertain and impress guests.
