Lately | Inside the 2026 Luxury Housing Forecast
The luxury housing market is entering 2026 with strong momentum unlike much of the broader real estate sector. High-end homes are expected to outperform overall housing, buoyed by massive generational wealth transfers, continued interest from international buyers, and cash-heavy purchasers who remain largely unfazed by rising mortgage rates. Markets like Florida, California and New York are seeing persistent demand, slightly loosening inventory without dampening prices in top locations, while lifestyle-driven buying (especially second homes and multigenerational properties) continues to shape the year ahead.
