Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「Homes in residential golf club communities across the country are seeing a surge in demand amid the pandemic after years of slow sales and stagnant prices. But for many home buyers, golf is only part of the attraction. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Some say they are drawn to these communities—like Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Ariz., pictured here—because they offer myriad options for outdoor sports, dining and socializing when Covid-19 has curtailed many other forms of entertainment. Clubs’ ability to limit access to their facilities makes residents feel insulated from the virus.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ After overdevelopment in the 1980s and 1990s, golf communities have struggled in recent years as participation in the costly and time-consuming sport declined, forcing many courses to close. Experts agree that playing golf carries relatively little risk of spreading Covid-19. As a result, golfers have returned to the links in droves since the pandemic’s onset.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ That surge in demand is also being reflected in sales of homes in golf communities, from Florida to the Carolinas. At Desert Mountain, 77 homes have gone into contract since Sept. 1, up from 41 in the same period of last year, according to real-estate agent Davis Driver. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more at the link in our bio. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷: @stevecraftphoto for @wsjrealestate」12月14日 4時43分
