2021 Second-Home Consumer Research Survey Results


At year-end 2021, RCLCO conducted our second annual national consumer preference survey exploring the interest among high-income U.S. households regarding buying or continuing to own second homes.[1] Nearly two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen exceptionally strong performance in the second-home market, as structural shifts including the widespread adoption of remote work have increased the appeal of  second homes for a larger segment of the market.

  • This complete 2021 data is available in the dashboard below, including details about product type preferences, location preferences, questions about using a second home as a rental property, and much more.
