The ultra-luxury real estate market in the United States exhibited exceptional strength in the first half of 2024, with 838 homes sold publicly at $10 million-plus, totaling $14.66 billion in sales volume and surpassing H1 2023 figures. High-net-worth buyers continue to view real estate as a safe investment, frequently opting for all-cash transactions to avoid high mortgage rates. Key markets like Greater Los Angeles, Manhattan, Palm Beach County, and Miami-Dade led the way, while emerging markets such as Greater Nashville and Central New Jersey saw significant gains.
