1351 ET - Luxury home prices stabilized at the end of 2025, Realtor.com says, while the gap between luxury homes and typical listings varied widely across local housing markets. The national entry point for luxury, defined as the 90th percentile of listing prices, was $1.19 million in December, down just 0.6% from a year ago. The smaller decline compared with earlier months suggests luxury prices overall may be approaching a near-term floor. Nationally, luxury homes are priced at about three times the median listing price. In parts of Connecticut, luxury homes are priced more than five times higher than the local median. But in metros like Orlando, luxury homes are priced much closer to the median, making high-end housing feel more connected to the overall market. In December, 9 of the 10 most expensive luxury markets still posted year-over-year declines in prices, though several saw smaller drops than last month. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
