The Latest on the Luxury Home Market




Luxury living encompasses more than breathtaking views and state-of-the-art smart home technology—it’s about enhancing your lifestyle. If you’re considering a million-dollar home, now is a fantastic time to dive into the dynamic luxury market. Here’s why.

The Number of Luxury Homes Is Growing

The top of the market, or luxury homes, can mean different things depending on where you live. But in general, these are homes that are in the top 5% price range in any area. According to a recent report from Redfin, the average value of those homes has risen to over one million dollars:

“The median sale price for U.S. luxury homes, defined as the top 5% of listings, rose 9% year-over-year to a record $1.18 million during the second quarter.”

The report also reveals that the percentage of homes valued at a million dollars or more has reached an all-time high (see graph below):

Whether you’re interested in cutting-edge designs, such as modern kitchens with high-end appliances, exclusive amenities, or enhanced privacy and security, the market catering to this lifestyle is expanding.

Your Luxury Home Is an Investment

Additionally, a luxury home can be a significant asset for long-term wealth building. As highlighted earlier, luxury home prices are on the rise. This trend may explain why many people are currently investing in luxury real estate. According to the August Luxury Market Report:

“By the end of July, the overall growth in the volume of sales in 2024 stood at 14.82% for single-family homes and 11.35% for attached homes compared to the same period in 2023.”
