Luxury Real Estate Outlook: June 2023 – A Guide to Success in the US Market
At RE Luxe Leaders, we’re passionate about digging into the data to spotlight trends that empower you to make savvy business choices. Interestingly, we’re observing a tale of two markets as opposed to one national trend. The luxury market power centers are evolving, driven by the migration of wealth over the past year.
Luxury Real Estate Report: The Two-Sided Coin of the Luxury Market
The top of the national market has experienced a slight decrease of -.88%, with an average price landing at $514,653. This dip is largely due to fluctuations in California’s Ultra High-end market. While the Executive Class Luxe shows a year-over-year performance at -.88%, the Luxe Class (properties valued at $2 million+) reveals a decline of -1.55%. Properties over $5 million are witnessing a modest drop of -.96%. It’s important to note, these trends vary widely from region to region and coast to coast.
Luxury Real Estate Report: The Inventory Conundrum
Despite signs of market recovery, inventory is struggling to catch up. In most regions, we’re noting a significant decline in inventory compared to 2019 levels. This scarcity is even more striking as we move into the seasonally high demand period. Furthermore, we’re witnessing considerable price depreciation in specific areas, mainly within large urban cities. Interestingly, the west coast appears to be recovering, showing signs of an upward trend.
Luxury Real Estate Report: New Horizons in the Luxury Market
In a promising development, 83 new areas crossed into the executive luxury threshold over the past month, indicating that the luxury market is stabilizing and prices are starting to climb again. Additionally, 7 new regions recently crossed the $2 million+ threshold, reflecting the continued wealth migration into these burgeoning power areas.
Luxury Real Estate Report: A Look at the Bigger Picture
Delving into long-term data gives us even more reasons for optimism. The three-year average growth rate for luxury real estate stands at an impressive 32.26%, the five-year average hits a remarkable 43.24%, and the ten-year average is at a robust 78.25%. These statistics clearly show that luxury properties have consistently outperformed lower price ranges in terms of percentage return.
Luxury Real Estate Report: A Few Insights on the International Luxury Market
Current research on the international luxury real estate market offers several key insights. The core definition of luxury has significantly changed over the past few years, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals are now a significant driving force in the luxury home buying market. These individuals, with their diversified investment portfolios, will continue to have significant influence in the market in the coming years.
The intrinsic value of purchasing real estate has never been higher, with wealthy buyers being motivated by lifestyle changes and opportunities in the current market environment. We anticipate a high volume of international buyers, a growing influence among younger millionaires, and a continued appetite for secondary homes.
Ownership of multiple homes, both in the U.S. and abroad, is becoming a trend among wealthy individuals. 72% of wealthy buyers said their future home purchase would be a second residence, vacation home, or rental property. Notably, Gen-X and millennials are leading the way in this trend. Furthermore, the propensity to own a home abroad is on the rise due to the strength of the U.S. dollar and rising costs of U.S. living. Europe, Central America, and Asia are among the increasingly popular locations for these buyers.
Additionally, the number of global millionaires is at its highest point in history and is expected to surge by 40% by 2026. Major U.S. markets and traditional centers of wealth, continue to be a significant draw for affluent international buyers. Cities in Asia, such as Singapore, Beijing, and Guangzhou, have regained their position in the top global cities with primary and secondary homeowners as borders have reopened.
When it comes to the factors influencing the choices of luxury real estate buyers, property location, home condition, and amenities rank as the highest priorities. Open floor plans, bespoke architectural elements, neutral color palettes, and tech-friendly homes with automation systems, energy-efficient appliances, and electric vehicle charging stations are among the top trends.
