Many factors have contributed to the fact that in the past five years, home elevator sales have doubled. These include the aging of the affluent baby-boom generation. In the next five years, an estimated 70 million people will be of retirement age; many of them will be looking at retaining their independence by staying in their own homes and adding features such as elevators to make living more accessible, or moving to customized homes that already include such advantages. According to a Florida State University study, a home elevator can add 10% to the selling price of a home.
