Defining luxury in an ever-changing world

  If Noah Webster were alive today he may well have changed the definition of luxury in his big book of words. Surely, his definition - “a condition of abundance or great ease or comfort,” still works. As does “sumptuous environment lived in luxury.” Like Florida in July, he was getting warmer. A second entry: “Something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary – One of life's luxuries” raises great questions. “What is absolutely necessary to the home buyer today? What do they consider to be “one of life’s luxuries?”   In pre-pandemic days the answer may have been something entirely different. An exquisite open floor plan, a spacious walk-in closet or perhaps a spectacular view. While that still aptly describes luxury - Luxury like beauty - is defined ultimately in the eye of the beholder. Surely the beholder’s tastes of those seeking homes in the luxury market is evolving. Things once considered “one of life’s luxuries” - today a must and a necessity. A comfortable, safe entertainment room to make memories with family and friends. A well-equipped home office that provides utility and security without leaving home. A view and space that’s a refuge from a bustling and spinning world. Air. An ability to breathe easier. Freely. A necessity to all. But to those seeking luxurious options – always placed at the top of their list. A sense of place. Found in towns providing a respite. A pause. A place to breathe along Florida’s Gulf coast.
