Deals estimated to be in the top 5% in a market on average dropped 44.6% year-over-year for the three-month period ending Jan. 31, according to Redfin. That’s the largest annual decline and the second-lowest level on record.
Miami’s luxury market took the biggest hit in the three-month period, with a year-over-year decrease of 68.7%. That was followed by Long Island (62.8%) and three California markets: Riverside (59.8%), Anaheim (59.3%), and San Jose (59%).
Los Angeles came in at a 55.5% decrease.
That lack of supply has pushed luxury home prices higher. The median price in the US was up 9% compared with the same period the year before.
