The landscape of luxury real estate is shifting dramatically.

Did you know that the number of homes valued at $1 million has skyrocketed from 1.5 million in 2005 to an astonishing 6.9 million in 2024?

This means that 8% of the U.S. housing market now falls into this category, a significant increase from just 2% two decades ago.

As a luxury real estate professional, I understand the nuances of this evolving market and how it impacts both buyers and sellers.
