Sometimes buying a property is no longer limited to choosing the home that best suits our pocket, many buyers already weigh various aspects related to their quality of life such as proximity to sports or recreation centers.
One of the main changes regarding buying habits in the real estate market is that the housing complex has amenities or common spaces to share among neighbors or use them individually.
This trend, known as real estate sharing, is beginning to gain ground in our country, and consists of real estate spaces that offer shared amenities and services that help to have a better quality of life and manage to generate a community with other neighbors.
The idea of this concept is to combine within the real estate development different amenities such as gym, pool, spa or toy library, so that the inhabitants save by hiring these services and having them in the same space, they no longer have to travel or pay for these activities separately.
Although combining these types of activities in the same space can help you save on expenses in these contracts, the reality is that it also increases the price of the house because the cost of the capital gain increases by having more spaces and construction areas.
Common spaces
Leonardo González, an analyst for the real estate portal Propiedades.com, explained that it is a trend that outlines a model of amenities shared and used by several inhabitants, some of these sets of real estate models are already found in several neighborhoods in Mexico City.
He highlighted that the prices by having shared amenities and common spaces, also allows sharing the costs in the maintenance fees and the teachers in these spaces, compared to if you pay individually to go to the gym or in the case of hiring a room, for instance.
“It is a model that is outlined for millennials and users who give a high priority to their quality of life, where they prioritize comfort and the use of common areas in the use of living spaces, having a shared model generates savings “, he pointed.
Having many amenities in the same space can represent a saving in the finances of the inhabitants, but it translates into a higher price in the cost of the house.
The real estate expert pointed out that the price per square meter for developments with amenities is between 54,000 pesos and 80,000 pesos, but the final price will depend on factors such as the number of amenities, the location of the property and the construction company.
In turn, Héctor Klerian, deputy general director of the real estate JLL, explained that with this new concept an inhabitant can save between 30 and 35% by having the main activities and amenities in the real estate development where he lives, instead of hiring them in a way Independent.
“What we try is to give a concept where people generate community and do not have to go out to go to the gym. Many people want to have the gym quota in the same space, plus the yoga classes, with this everything is solved in one place “, he explained.
He added that given the current demand for homes, putting amenities is a necessity, mainly in the case of young buyers.
Gym, spa, yoga
Among the main amenities offered by sharing are green areas, gym, roof garden closed circuit television, terrace, lobby, barbecue, pet friendly, toy library, event room, games areas, biciparking, pool, jacuzzi, spa, lounge yoga, fitness center, but it will depend on each development. Even sharing also refers to being located in areas close to schools, offices, hospitals and shopping centers.
What to check?
In the opinion of the Propiedades.com analyst, if you are interested in acquiring a property of this type, among the factors that you should consider are, firstly, that the sale price of the property is worth in terms of the cost of the amenities, it is that is to say, that its cost reflects the number of amenities and spaces included.
Coexistence with neighbors should also be considered, it is very important because this model is designed to open the scheme of coexistence and group activities with the other inhabitants of the development.
