Luxury Home Sales Up 25% in June

A lot has changed since 2017. One of the bigger things being luxury real estate sales. Comparing June 2017 and June 2018, sales have gone up 25%. What does that mean for luxury homes for sale in St Helena CA and homes for sale in Rutherford CA? It means they’re flying off the shelves, so to speak.

And it’s not just demand, it’s the exclusivity. High-end buyers in search of new homes actually have to spend more money (about 4.6% more) than they did last year to enter the luxury real estate market. Javier Vivas, Realtor.com director of economic research, states “Continued growth in high-paying jobs and stock market inertia have reignited many luxury markets this year.” Buyer demand for luxury homes is increasing even though prices and costs of ownership have risen.

Right now in most major markets, $1 million will not get buyers a luxury home or at least is the minimum spending amount. 17 of 91 luxury markets are experiencing more than 10% price growth each year. Northern California is home to 4 of 10 fastest-growing luxury markets. Perhaps it’s the tech industry and foreign interests. Perhaps it’s wine country real estate.
