Expectations and Considerations for 2024
To say that the high-end market has seen a dramatic growth over the last few years is probably an
understatement. The recognition of its impact and undeniable influence, through emerging trends
and architectural innovations, on the broader real estate landscape has been equally significant.
As we step into 2024, the luxury market now stands at another fascinating juncture.
This sector, known for its resilience and capacity to set trends, experienced a notable positive shift
towards the end of 2023. After a period of stagnation driven by economic uncertainties, the market
saw a resurgence in activity, marking a pivotal moment for affluent investors and luxury property
enthusiasts.
The initial three quarters of 2023 were characterized by a cautious approach from both buyers and
sellers, largely attributed to the unpredictable economic climate. Concerns over inflation, fluctuating
interest rates, and the overall economic outlook led to a slowdown in transactions.
However, the landscape began to shift in the last quarter of the year. As indicators of economic
stabilization became more apparent, confidence returned to the luxury real estate market. This
confidence was mirrored in increased inventory levels and a subsequent rise in sales, surpassing
figures from the same period in 2022.
A Market Still Evolving
Early statistics from January 2024, based on the 155 markets researched by The Institute, suggest
that this positive trend is not only continuing but has the potential to accelerate, particularly in
the single-family luxury market. Indicators point to a robust spring market that could potentially
outperform the previous year.
In the luxury single-family market not only are all the data parameters stronger compared to
January 2022, but there is also a trending upwards compared to December 2023. Both the overall
inventory level and new listings entering the market grew 15.9% and 25.4% respectively compared to
NORTH AMERICAN LUXURY REVIEW
January 2023. Compared to December 2023, inventory grew 2% but more importantly, new listings
by a staggering 88.9%. As a result, the single-family market saw an 18.4% increase in sales during
January 2024 compared to January 2023, and the median sold price increased by 1.6%.

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. The Glimmer of Change Grows Brighter
Last month, we reported a glimmer of hope as the luxury market, for the first time in 2023,
witnessed an increase in the number of sold properties and new inventory entering the market
compared to the same month in 2022. This encouraging trend continues this month.
The Numbers are Up
Compared to November 2022, the number of sales last month rose 5.1% for single-family homes
and 13.7% for attached homes. This is not the only growth statistic that could show the start, albeit
a slow one, of a market comeback.
The number of new listings entering the market last month also increased compared to November
2022, by 21.1% for single-family homes and 29.3% for attached properties. The rise in new inventory
entering the market is equally significant as it shows a growing confidence by sellers compared to
last year.
Lack of new inventory has been one of the most significant challenges to the growth of sales during
most of 2023, as it created a roadblock for opportunity. This was especially significant in a market
where buyers had become highly specific in their property specification preferences.
Get Ready for 2024 the Right Way
During this unconventional market, we highly recommend working with a luxury property specialist to gain insights into what is truly happening in your local marketplace. The art of selling and buying in this market needs a critical and analytical approach. Understanding the realities and setting realistic expectations accordingly will ensure that your goals are achieved.

Opportunity Knocks
The biggest impacts are more likely to be felt at the local market level and will depend on the current
demand profile of their buyers against ongoing supply. So, expect to hear some conflicting analysis
because all markets are not equal and results from a North American perspective could look very
different at the grassroots level.
While there will be much debate about how things will play out over the next year, like all markets,
there is always an opportunity for those who are ready. There are niches in every market: whether
moving to a location that affords a better cost of living, recognizing luxury pockets or property types
that are next in the demand cycle, or simply biding one’s time in anticipation of finding a property
that is below market value.
Regardless of an affluent buyer’s financial profile, there is still significant confidence in the luxury
real estate market and a belief in the stability of owning property. Even if some buyers previously
dropped out of the real estate game due to fatigue, frustration, or even hesitation during 2023, in
2024 they may be primed to return as inventory levels improve.
We highly recommend working with a luxury property specialist during this unconventional market
to ascertain what is truly happening in your local marketplace. The art of selling and buying in this

accordingly will ensure that goals are achieved.

Understanding the New Reality of 2023
In this month’s report, we take a step back in time to understand why the luxury real market has
truly changed, how this new reality for buyers and sellers was created, and why it needs to be
appreciated.
Using 2019 as our benchmark year, a year that saw a steady and more typical sales cycle but one
that also showed a growing confidence in the purchase of luxury homes as the year progressed.
Growth was driven by demand as buyers saw financial potential due to strong stability within the
luxury real estate market.
Inventory availability in 2019 was not considered to be a factor in preventing sales, as most markets
typically saw a significantly greater number of homes for sale than potential buyers. It’s interesting
to note that prior to the pandemic it was rare for the luxury real estate market not to be more
favorable to buyers, and equally, expectations were that homes would take much longer to sell than
those in the traditional market.
As we all know, and it has been well documented, this all changed with the onset of the Covid-19
pandemic and the surge in demand for luxury properties. Demand outstripped supply at a dramatic
and voracious level so that even the rapid change of the market in April 2022, which saw an influx
of new listings, proved to be too little, given the uptake in sales during May and June of the same
year.
Like 2019, in 2023 there has been a return of confidence in the purchase of homes, month over
month sales volumes have increased, after the market faltered in the last four months of 2022.
However, this is where the similarities end, as while demand is still important, the new reality is the
status of the luxury real estate market is now clearly correlated to the level of available inventory.
Comparing inventory data in 2023 shows the average level of total listings per month is still
approximately 40% below levels in 2019.
NORTH AMERICAN LUXURY REVIEW
The data also clearly shows that it is not just the depleted level of inventory that is holding back
sales, but as we can see from the charts below, it is the actual number of new listings entering
the market each month that must also be directly correlated to sales activity – if the level of new
inventory increases, so does the number of sold properties for the month, and vice versa.
This document is the July/August 2023 issue of the Real Estate Business Institute's publication "For Real Estate Professionals". It includes the following:
- Details on the publication such as executives, publisher, and contact information.
- A message from the CEO discussing developing good habits and overcoming bad habits.
- A list of individuals who have earned all four of REBI's real estate credentials.
- An article about properly pricing "oddball" properties that have unique features or uses atypical of standard residential homes. It provides tips for agents on analyzing these types of properties.
Luxury Trends for the Summer
As we head into summer, what trends are set to define this season’s must-haves, and are there
any surprises?
Smart technology and wellness amenities are certainly top favorites of the affluent homeowner,
but today’s buyer is also looking for the home that will fulfil their lifestyle decisions – this more
than just the style of the home and/or its location, it is the experience offered by the property that
will likely set it apart.
This experience tends to encompass not only unique and spectacular features within the home
and its grounds but also the property’s location and surrounding amenities. Affluent buyers’
expectations have shifted, becoming honed by the need to find a sense of purpose for their chosen
property and its location as well the opportunity to still add their personal identity and style.
Despite lingering uncertainty outside the luxury real estate market, the steadiness of prices, sales,
and inventory levels have resulted in a consistent increase in the demand for luxury properties
during the first five months of 2023.
The number of luxury properties sold has risen month over month since the start of 2023, aside
from January, which did see a downturn in sales. Despite the slight plateau in April, May’s figures
saw a 33% increase in sales for single-family homes compared to April and attached properties
sales were 26% higher.
This has been assisted by the increased level of new inventory entering the market, up 22%
compared to April 2022 for single-family homes and 14% for attached homes – putting inventory
levels back on par with levels seen in May 2022.
While an increase in new inventory has resulted in a greater number of sales, the significant
difference in percentage increase of sales versus new inventory proves that the demand for luxury
properties continues, enabling the market to remain strong.
- Strength and Comfort -
There is a focus on permanence in all aspects of the luxury real estate market with quick fads a
trend of the past; expect to see quality, endurability, and sustainability as the key determinants in
the building, design, and refurbishment of homes for the remainder of the year.
Nature is being embraced, creating a more natural feel through layering, texturing, sustainability processes. Color neutrality with warmer palettes, and Artisan and artistic features are being blended into old and new designs to create soothing, comfortable, yet unique environments.
These elements will be at the forefront of this season’s design palette, and technology will be implemented to provide efficiency but, more specifically, to create spaces and features that offer a sense of ambient wellness.
Color and Texture Return
The cool greys, sharp blacks, and clean or pure whites are taking a back seat as earthy greens, soft
yellows, deep reds, and gentle pinks, used for accents and contrast, are blended with more warm
neutral palettes creating richer dimensions to rooms. Warm greys, creams, and browns

Luxury Markets in Demand
As demand returns, we review several markets in the U.S. and Canada that experienced significant growth in March. Much has been written recently about the popularity of lower priced luxury markets, especially in the Midwest, so we wondered, with the uptick in sales during March, if this trend was still holding true…or if another shift is occurring.
East Bay, California
Taking the number one spot is not a Midwest market, but East Bay in California, where the median luxury sold price averaged close to $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. Not only did this market see a huge increase in demand during the pandemic, but once again it is drawing buyers to
its highly diversified communities and seems set for a strong spring market.

1. The Japanese economy is expected to see the highest growth in 2023 among G7 countries, with inflation and interest rates remaining low. This has led to a weak yen, making Tokyo real estate an attractive investment opportunity.
2. Tokyo real estate prices have been on an upward trend overall, recovering from the 1990s economic slump, with central areas within a 10km radius of the CBD considered a safe investment.
3. The document recommends buying older but cheaply priced apartments in downtown and prime areas of Tokyo, expecting capital appreciation as prices rise moderately. Specific investment properties are presented as examples.

The housing market across the MLSListings region slowed significantly in 2022 due to high prices, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty. Home prices declined in most areas compared to last year, with the largest drops in San Mateo County. Housing sales and new listings also fell substantially, causing inventory levels and months of supply to rise slightly. However, the market remains relatively tight. Prices are expected to decline modestly further before stabilizing in late 2023 as interest rates potentially decrease.

Opportunity Knocks
The biggest impacts are more likely to be felt at the local market level and will depend on the current
demand profile of their buyers against ongoing supply. So, expect to hear some conflicting analysis
because all markets are not equal and results from a North American perspective could look very
different at the grassroots level.
While there will be much debate about how things will play out over the next year, like all markets,
there is always an opportunity for those who are ready. There are niches in every market: whether
moving to a location that affords a better cost of living, recognizing luxury pockets or property types
that are next in the demand cycle, or simply biding one’s time in anticipation of finding a property
that is below market value.
Regardless of an affluent buyer’s financial profile, there is still significant confidence in the luxury
real estate market and a belief in the stability of owning property. Even if some buyers previously
dropped out of the real estate game due to fatigue, frustration, or even hesitation during 2023, in
2024 they may be primed to return as inventory levels improve.
We highly recommend working with a luxury property specialist during this unconventional market
to ascertain what is truly happening in your local marketplace. The art of selling and buying in this
market needs a critical and analytical approach; understanding the realities and setting expectations
accordingly will ensure that goals are achieved.

Understanding the New Reality of 2023
In this month’s report, we take a step back in time to understand why the luxury real market has
truly changed, how this new reality for buyers and sellers was created, and why it needs to be
appreciated.
Using 2019 as our benchmark year, a year that saw a steady and more typical sales cycle but one
that also showed a growing confidence in the purchase of luxury homes as the year progressed.
Growth was driven by demand as buyers saw financial potential due to strong stability within the
luxury real estate market.
Inventory availability in 2019 was not considered to be a factor in preventing sales, as most markets
typically saw a significantly greater number of homes for sale than potential buyers. It’s interesting
to note that prior to the pandemic it was rare for the luxury real estate market not to be more
favorable to buyers, and equally, expectations were that homes would take much longer to sell than
those in the traditional market.
As we all know, and it has been well documented, this all changed with the onset of the Covid-19
pandemic and the surge in demand for luxury properties. Demand outstripped supply at a dramatic
and voracious level so that even the rapid change of the market in April 2022, which saw an influx
of new listings, proved to be too little, given the uptake in sales during May and June of the same
year.
Like 2019, in 2023 there has been a return of confidence in the purchase of homes, month over
month sales volumes have increased, after the market faltered in the last four months of 2022.
However, this is where the similarities end, as while demand is still important, the new reality is the
status of the luxury real estate market is now clearly correlated to the level of available inventory.
Comparing inventory data in 2023 shows the average level of total listings per month is still
approximately 40% below levels in 2019.
NORTH AMERICAN LUXURY REVIEW
The data also clearly shows that it is not just the depleted level of inventory that is holding back
sales, but as we can see from the charts below, it is the actual number of new listings entering
the market each month that must also be directly correlated to sales activity – if the level of new
inventory increases, so does the number of sold properties for the month, and vice versa.
This document is the July/August 2023 issue of the Real Estate Business Institute's publication "For Real Estate Professionals". It includes the following:
- Details on the publication such as executives, publisher, and contact information.
- A message from the CEO discussing developing good habits and overcoming bad habits.
- A list of individuals who have earned all four of REBI's real estate credentials.
- An article about properly pricing "oddball" properties that have unique features or uses atypical of standard residential homes. It provides tips for agents on analyzing these types of properties.
Luxury Trends for the Summer
As we head into summer, what trends are set to define this season’s must-haves, and are there
any surprises?
Smart technology and wellness amenities are certainly top favorites of the affluent homeowner,
but today’s buyer is also looking for the home that will fulfil their lifestyle decisions – this more
than just the style of the home and/or its location, it is the experience offered by the property that
will likely set it apart.
This experience tends to encompass not only unique and spectacular features within the home
and its grounds but also the property’s location and surrounding amenities. Affluent buyers’
expectations have shifted, becoming honed by the need to find a sense of purpose for their chosen
property and its location as well the opportunity to still add their personal identity and style.
Despite lingering uncertainty outside the luxury real estate market, the steadiness of prices, sales,
and inventory levels have resulted in a consistent increase in the demand for luxury properties
during the first five months of 2023.
The number of luxury properties sold has risen month over month since the start of 2023, aside
from January, which did see a downturn in sales. Despite the slight plateau in April, May’s figures
saw a 33% increase in sales for single-family homes compared to April and attached properties
sales were 26% higher.
This has been assisted by the increased level of new inventory entering the market, up 22%
compared to April 2022 for single-family homes and 14% for attached homes – putting inventory
levels back on par with levels seen in May 2022.
While an increase in new inventory has resulted in a greater number of sales, the significant
difference in percentage increase of sales versus new inventory proves that the demand for luxury
properties continues, enabling the market to remain strong.
- Strength and Comfort -
There is a focus on permanence in all aspects of the luxury real estate market with quick fads a
trend of the past; expect to see quality, endurability, and sustainability as the key determinants in
the building, design, and refurbishment of homes for the remainder of the year.
Nature is being embraced, creating a more natural feel through layering, texturing, sustainability processes. Color neutrality with warmer palettes, and Artisan and artistic features are being blended into old and new designs to create soothing, comfortable, yet unique environments.
These elements will be at the forefront of this season’s design palette, and technology will be implemented to provide efficiency but, more specifically, to create spaces and features that offer a sense of ambient wellness.
Color and Texture Return
The cool greys, sharp blacks, and clean or pure whites are taking a back seat as earthy greens, soft
yellows, deep reds, and gentle pinks, used for accents and contrast, are blended with more warm
neutral palettes creating richer dimensions to rooms. Warm greys, creams, and browns

Luxury Markets in Demand
As demand returns, we review several markets in the U.S. and Canada that experienced significant growth in March. Much has been written recently about the popularity of lower priced luxury markets, especially in the Midwest, so we wondered, with the uptick in sales during March, if this trend was still holding true…or if another shift is occurring.
East Bay, California
Taking the number one spot is not a Midwest market, but East Bay in California, where the median luxury sold price averaged close to $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. Not only did this market see a huge increase in demand during the pandemic, but once again it is drawing buyers to
its highly diversified communities and seems set for a strong spring market.

1. The Japanese economy is expected to see the highest growth in 2023 among G7 countries, with inflation and interest rates remaining low. This has led to a weak yen, making Tokyo real estate an attractive investment opportunity.
2. Tokyo real estate prices have been on an upward trend overall, recovering from the 1990s economic slump, with central areas within a 10km radius of the CBD considered a safe investment.
3. The document recommends buying older but cheaply priced apartments in downtown and prime areas of Tokyo, expecting capital appreciation as prices rise moderately. Specific investment properties are presented as examples.

The housing market across the MLSListings region slowed significantly in 2022 due to high prices, rising interest rates, and economic uncertainty. Home prices declined in most areas compared to last year, with the largest drops in San Mateo County. Housing sales and new listings also fell substantially, causing inventory levels and months of supply to rise slightly. However, the market remains relatively tight. Prices are expected to decline modestly further before stabilizing in late 2023 as interest rates potentially decrease.
