Looking to sell your home in Carlsbad, Encinitas, or anywhere in San Diego County? Forget the outdated trends of his-and-her sinks and open floor plans – the hottest new amenity buyers crave is a pickleball court!
That’s right. A recent spike in keyword search data from Zillow shows pickleball courts are the hot new commodity people want in a new place to live, at least in Seattle.
Nationally, mentions of pickleball have soared by 64 percent, while in bustling urban centers like New York City, the presence of public or private pickleball courts has become a prominent selling point, with a remarkable 100 percent uptick in related listings on Zillow brand StreetEasy.
Real estate agents are witnessing a trend where homeowners are reconfiguring their spaces to accommodate pickleball courts, even converting driveways or repurposing existing sports facilities on ultra-luxury properties.
Even pro athletes like Travis Kelce and Tom Brady are adding pickleball courts to their properties.
In tandem with the pickleball craze, another trend gaining traction in the real estate sphere is the rising popularity of cold plunge pools.
Probably to help pickleballers recover quicker, so they can, of course, play more pickleball.
