Luxury real estate: still buoyant in 2023


While the number of millionaires continues to grow worldwide, the sale of primary residences and second homes is buoyant in the luxury segment.

A recent report combining a survey of more than 600 Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists agents with data from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Wealth-X, Credit Suisse, and other sources provides valuable insight. It broadly addresses the global real estate footprint in the luxury segment, markets of opportunity for buyers and sellers, and, more specifically, multiple homeownership in the United States and abroad. The study also outlines key trends that will influence affluent consumers in 2023.
“The intrinsic value of buying real estate has never been higher as affluent buyers are motivated by lifestyle changes and opportunities in the current market environment. While there may be more discretionary purchases this year, we still expect a higher volume of international buyers, growing influence among young millionaires, and the continued appetite for second homes to drive the market in the 2023 luxury landscape, based on our findings in the report.” points out Michael Altneu, Vice President of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury.

A royal road for luxury residences continues to rally the votes of this population, which gives “priority to financial stability, long-term wealth growth, family, health and well-being.”
