The market remains in a stable and mature phase despite external influences over the past few years. The September 2025 report by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing highlights a shift toward balance, discernment, and regional differentiation. The market is now driven by fundamentals, not speculation, with moderate price growth and rising sales.
Key property trends include:
-
Single-family homes show strong demand, even with increased inventory, as sellers adopt realistic pricing and buyers act decisively.
-
Attached luxury properties are showing renewed strength and are stabilizing after previous slowdowns.
This moderation is viewed as a transition, not a decline, as supply and demand move toward equilibrium. Local market dynamics have become the key differentiator, with conditions varying widely by region. Factors like global wealth trends, tax shifts, and interest rate cuts are influencing investment decisions and buyer sentiment. Buyers are increasingly focused on intrinsic value, prioritizing quality, sustainability, and long-term performance. The outlook for 2026 is one of cautious optimism, with potential for renewed growth if interest rates continue to ease.
