March Madness is here—and although the tournament lasts only a month, your hoop dreams can endure year-round.
Yes, that’s right: Imagine buying a home with a basketball court, where you can hold your own tourney and hoist 3-pointers to your heart’s content. And of course, homes with a hoop are usually luxury properties, which means they come with more amenities than a cool court.
“Basketball courts are in high demand for sports-minded homeowners in the post-pandemic era. They crave residences that enable them to enjoy as many of life’s pleasures as possible without ever leaving their property,” says Sally Forster Jones, a luxury agent with Compass. “Having a basketball court contributes greatly to resale value, as this is a key feature to those who view this amenity as highly beneficial.”

Could 2022 be the year someone finally decided to be like Mike and buy his home? Stay tuned!
