Luxury is not just a higher price band
Luxury real estate is shaped by uniqueness. Lot quality, architecture, privacy, views, renovation quality, builder reputation, and location can matter as much as broad market direction.
Supply can be thin and uneven
A small number of listings can make the luxury market look more volatile. Luxury reporting should avoid broad claims unless high-end sales and inventory data actually support them.
Buyer behaviour is more selective
Luxury buyers may have more flexibility, but they can also be more selective. Presentation, privacy, pricing rationale, and negotiation strategy often carry more weight than speed alone.
