2024 was a good year for the ultra-luxury real estate market, with a handful of areas standing out as the leading markets in that category, according to a report from Compass.
Compass found America’s ultra-luxury market notched over 1,700 sales of homes of at least $10 million over the course of last year, marking a 350% jump from 2023. Those sales, the real estate firm said, were worth a combined $31.39 billion.
Of that staggering figure, nearly $23.2 billion came from ten places in four states that dominated the ultra-luxury market by sales volume, according to the report.
HOMEOWNERSHIP REMAINS A BIG PART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM
New York, California, Florida and Colorado all had representation among 2024’s top ultra-luxury markets in the U.S, the Compass report showed.
Here are the five markets that topped Compass’ rankings for ultra-luxury properties by sales volume and how many homes of at least $10 million changed hands in each last year. FOX Business also calculated the average ultra-luxury sale price for each by dividing the sales volume by the number of homes sold, based on the firm’s report.
By sales volume of ultra-luxury homes, Compass found that Aspen placed No. 6 with $1.4 billion, the Hamptons placed No. 7 with $1.2 billion, Silicon Valley placed No. 8 with $1.06 billion, Southwest Florida placed No. 9 with $1.03 billion and San Diego placed No. 10 with $835. 8 million.
