The Price of Living the American Dream
In the article published in Expansión, it highlights "The Trend Report" prepared by Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® and the various properties located in Beverly Hills, New York, Miami, and Newport Coast from Coldwell Banker®.
After a year full of uncertainty that concluded with an increase in sales in the last quarter, major investors are regaining confidence in the U.S. real estate market. The current dynamics of the luxury market in the United States are difficult to predict, with billionaires and notable entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk moving their businesses from one state to another, like SpaceX from Delaware to Texas, as reported by the Financial Times. This phenomenon has led many executives to make strategic relocations.
However, the game of thrones and returns comes at a price. How are high-end homes behaving in the United States? According to "The Trend Report" by Coldwell Banker Global Luxury®, despite the negative forces faced by the real estate market in 2023 (suppressed demand, price increases, rising interest rates, among others), the last quarter of the previous year remained relatively stable after "disappointing" months. During this period, the number of available luxury single-family homes increased compared to the same period the previous year.
In this regard, the report highlights that the sale price of these properties experienced a slight increase of 3.91% for single-family properties and 2.79% for townhouses from 2022 to 2023. Furthermore, the major metropolitan areas in the country, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, continue to show "consistent indicators of a favorable market for wealthier buyers," such as a low volume of available homes and a sales-to-price ratio favoring the buyer.
Despite the rough patch in prices, high-end clients are adapting to these vicissitudes, as evidenced by the increase in sales at the end of 2023. According to "The Trend Report," 36% of luxury buyers believe that 2024 "will be a good time to buy or sell," compared to 18% of non-luxury consumers, reflecting widespread optimism for the future market in the United States.
Judy Zeder, a real estate advisor at Coldwell Banker® in the Miami area, emphasizes that for these buyers, newly constructed homes are particularly attractive, with location playing a crucial role. Buyers seek easy access to schools, social events, hospitals, and workplaces, as many are returning to traditional workspaces after the pandemic. In most cases, investors value variety and tend to choose based on their personal preferences.
Here, we highlight the properties mentioned in the article, located in strategic destinations.
