What is considered “Luxury” in a given real estate market? The top 10% of a given market is one gauge used
nationally. When we started the Luxury Report in 2012, the top 10% hovered around $2 million. By 2016, the
top 10% averaged around $3.5 million.
The number of Luxury-defined $5+ million sales skyrocketed 132% in 2020 to 257 sales. This surge drove
the definition of Luxury in our market up 63% from 2019 to a baseline of $6.5 million. In 2021, if we had
focused solely on the top 10% of our market to define a Luxury Home, we would have only included $8+
million sales.
Currently, of the 47 active single-family home listings only eight are listed for under $3 million. If we look at
the top 10% of what’s available now, the listings sit at $13.95 million and above.
With the Luxury bar raised so dramatically in 2020, going forward this report will only focus on sales above
$5 million. The graph below reflects the history of the top 10% of sales.
