This year, luxury residential Real Estate in the United States leaned into nine-figure asking prices, making $100M+ homes a defining feature of the top tier.
The expansion tracked with rising fortunes among the richest Americans, as a strong stock market and earlier tax cuts helped lift top-end wealth.
For buyers at this level, standout amenities and stronger privacy mattered, with many high-end properties designed as compounds that create more separation.
Still, headline-making asking prices did not guarantee record deals, and some extreme numbers were seen as publicity plays rather than serious expectations.
Looking ahead, one luxury agent said the United States could potentially see its first $1B home sale within the next three years.
