April Highlights from this months Luxury Market Report

.

·       The report is a guide to the luxury real estate market in North American.  It provides an overall analysis with trends and highlights comparative data on the top-residential markets throughout Canada and the United States.

·       This month’s report displays the market statistics for North America month over month as well as the 13-month trend.

·       This month we investigate why the luxury market has stayed resilient in Q1: with luxury single-family home sales rising 3.6% year-over-year, while attached properties increased 1.8%, showing sustained buyer confidence despite broader uncertainty.

·       March delivered a strong seasonal surge, with single-family luxury sales up 5.9% year-over-year (and nearly 40% from February) and attached sales rising 6.6% year-over-year, outpacing last year’s seasonal gains.

·       Inventory growth remains limited: single-family inventory is essentially flat year-over-year (+0.2%), and attached inventory fell 4.1%, while new listings lagged year-over-year (down 3.1% for single-family and 7.2% for attached), suggesting seller hesitation amid economic and political uncertainty—even as month-over-month activity improved.

·       Pricing remains largely stable at the top end: single-family median prices were nearly flat year-over-year (−0.1%), while attached prices saw a 5.7% year-over-year decline but were steady month-over-month.

·       Affluent buyers continue to view luxury real estate as a stable, long-term asset that provides both financial security and lifestyle value compared to more volatile financial markets.

·       Lifestyle and functionality are key decision drivers: buyers are prioritizing wellness amenities, multigenerational living, move-in-ready homes, outdoor spaces, and flexible work-from-home capabilities.

·       Second-home demand remains strong, accounting for a significant share of luxury transactions, with younger affluent buyers driving interest in lifestyle markets offering tax advantages, recreation, and year-round living.

·       Local market dynamics matter more than ever: some regions face tight supply and strong pricing power, while others are experiencing increased inventory and more balanced conditions, highlighting the importance of hyper-local strategy.

·       Today’s luxury buyers are intentional, informed, and prepared to act decisively, often with cash, while sellers must focus on strong presentation, strategic pricing, and lifestyle-driven marketing to capture demand.

·       For homeowners looking to sell or buy their luxury home in today’s market we recommend working with a realtor who can provide you with critical knowledge about your local market, maintain a high level of security during the transaction and knows how to leverage technology to provide maximum exposure and assistance. 

·       It is my responsibility as your REALTOR to ensure that when others around you are lowering their expectations, that this becomes the time for us to switch gears and discover how to leverage the market effectively to achieve your goals.

LUXURY REPORT EXPLAINED

The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing has analyzed a number of metrics — including sales prices, sales volumes, number of sales, sales-price-to-list-price ratios, days on market and price-per-square-foot – to provide you a comprehensive North American Luxury Market report.

Additionally, we have further examined all of the individual luxury markets to provide both an overview and an in-depth analysis - including, where data is sufficient, a breakdown by luxury single-family homes and luxury attached homes.

It is our intention to include additional luxury markets on a continual basis.  If your market is not featured, please contact us so we can implement the necessary qualification process.

More in-depth reports on the luxury communities in your market are available as well. Looking through this report, you will notice three distinct market statuses, Buyer's Market, Seller's Market, and Balanced Market.

A Buyer's Market indicates that buyers have greater control over the price point.  This market type is demonstrated by a substantial number of homes on the market and few sales, suggesting demand for residential properties is slow for that market and/or price point.

By contrast, a Seller's Market gives sellers greater control over the price point.  Typically, this means there are few homes on the market and a generous demand, causing competition between buyers who ultimately drive sales prices higher.

A Balanced Market indicates that neither the buyers nor the sellers control the price point at which that property will sell and that there is neither a glut nor a lack of inventory.  Typically, this type of market sees a stabilization of both the list and sold price, the length of time the property is on the market as well as the expectancy amongst homeowners in their respective communities – so long as their home is priced in accordance with the current market value.

REPORT GLOSSARY

REMAINING INVENTORY: The total number of homes available at the close of a month.

DAYS ON MARKET: Measures the number of days a home is available on the market before a purchase offer is accepted.

LUXURY BENCHMARK PRICE: The price point that marks the transition from traditional homes to luxury homes.

NEW LISTINGS: The number of homes that entered the market during the current month.

PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT: Measures the dollar amount of the home's price for an individual square foot.

SALES RATIO: Sales Ratio defines market speed and determines whether the market currently favors buyers or sellers. Buyer's Market = up to 14%; Balanced Market = 15 to 20%; Seller's Market = 21% plus. If >100%, sales from previous month exceed current inventory.

SP/LP RATIO: The Sales Price/List Price Ratio compares the value of the sold price to the value of the list price.
