According to a recent Redfin report, sales of homes priced over $1 million steadily increased in 2014, outpacing the rest of the housing market. Here are the top 10 features that well-heeled buyers want. (Scroll down to see some examples of these luxe trends.)
1. Luxurious showers: According to Redfin, most luxury-home buyers don’t use their bathtubs. They’d rather spend their money on well-appointed showers with multiple showerheads. Photo: Etco Homes
2. Fire pits by pools
3. Tasting rooms
4. White kitchen cabinets: Natural-colored wood kitchen cabinets are out. White, gray, or black cabinets with matching or contrasting countertops are in. Photo: Vic Moss
