Luxury Home Prices Rise 3.6%, More Than Double Non-Luxury Homes -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
May 26

1039 ET - The median U.S. luxury home sale price rose 3.6% year over year to $1.39 million during the three months ending April 30, Redfin says. That's more than double the 1.4% gain in non-luxury sale prices. Luxury prices are on the rise as demand for luxury homes increases. Pending sales of luxury homes jumped 4.3% year over year. That's slightly larger than the 4% gain in non-luxury pending sales. Homebuyer demand has generally been climbing thanks to an improving job market and a decline in mortgage rates last month, though rates have been more volatile in May. Redfin says luxury buyers are typically less sensitive to mortgage-rate swings than non-luxury buyers, which may be one reason the luxury market is holding up relatively well.
