Luxe | The Ultra-Luxury Report - From Resilience to Recalibration
If 2025 was defined by resilience, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of recalibration and opportunity. The ultra-luxury real estate market, particularly at the $10 million-plus tier, is entering a more deliberate phase, one marked less by urgency and more by intention. Wealth continues to be created, transferred, and strategically deployed, but with sharper discernment. Buyers are no longer simply purchasing homes; they are underwriting long-term lifestyle decisions in an environment where capital, technology, and values increasingly intersect.

Top Trends Shaping $10M+ Real Estate in 2026
What distinguishes this moment is not exuberance, but confidence. High-net-worth buyers remain insulated from many of the macroeconomic pressures facing the broader housing market. Elevated interest rates, political uncertainty, and global volatility have not dampened demand at the top; instead, they have refined it. In 2026, capital is gravitating toward quality, privacy, and places that signal both cultural relevance and future growth.
