2021 Luxury Outlook from Sotheby’s International Realty
As a result of the recent boon to the suburbs, home prices on the North Shore have reached record highs. Changing wealth dynamics have driven more luxury home sales in our communities over the past year — a trend we anticipate will continue into 2021. In a new report, Sotheby’s International Realty examines what’s in store.
Real estate markets have become increasingly competitive with home prices reaching record highs. The past year has been a rollercoaster for individuals due to dramatic swings in the stock market, new tax policies across the US, and ultra low interest rates. The wealth effect has driven more luxury home sales — a trend we anticipate will continue into the year.
