Are you following these trends in luxury homes?

On a(nother) dreary Saturday morning, let’s take ourselves away and look at trends in luxury home sale listings.  This table shows the changes in terms used in listings of luxury homes (those listed at 4 or more times the median price for their area) from 2012 to 2013 according to Trulia.

Overall, the trend shows increased emphasis on “expansive windows, great views and fitness amenities” and away from “indoor cooking and eating.”

First the terms on the increase:
