Publisher ' s Foreword

Homeowner sentiment can have an impact on property prices in security estate communities .

Homeowner sentiment refers to the overall mood , attitudes and opinions of homeowners in a particular community . When homeowners are positive and optimistic about their community , it can lead to higher demand for properties in that community , which in turn can lead to higher property prices . Conversely , when homeowner sentiment is negative , it can lead to lower demand for properties in the community , which can in turn lead to lower property prices .

Homeowner sentiment could be interpreted as community spirit , where a resident has a sense of belonging , connection and shared identity , and feels part of a community . It is characterised by a willingness to support and help others in the community , a sense of pride and ownership in community events and initiatives , and a commitment to working together to achieve shared goals and objectives .

What does Estate Living do for your community ?

The focus of our business , Estate Living , is to build a sense of community spirit in the property sector on an international level . Community spirit is an important part of creating a strong and supportive environment in which the industry can grow and all stakeholders can build , work , live , play , educate and retire , and can collectively experience the benefits of the value chain built around the property sector .
