Other noteworthy luxury markets across America

The report not only showcased La Jolla’s prominence in the luxury real estate market, but also shined light on some thriving markets in other regions of the country.

Seattle’s luxury market is on the rise, with an increase of 40 percent in sales for homes valued over $1 million. This sharp increase was realized over a single year from the second quarter of 2014 to the same time period in 2015. The rise over the same period since 2013 is a sharp 75 percent. It’s believe that the Seattle luxury real estate market is being driven by tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, in addition to the retail giant Amazon and the aerospace engineering company Boeing, all of which have a presence in the area.

Another market with strong momentum is New York, where prices are rising as fast as high rises are. New York is seeing a sharp uptick in new construction in its luxury real estate market that is leading to a moderate increase in sales prices. Demand is fueling the fervor and preventing a flood of inventory.

An interesting influx took place on one of this year’s list, which resulted in 20 percent of its cities being new additions. Inside Out, a real estate blog, reported that four American cities graduated to spots on the list of markets with the highest number of $10 million sales.

There were noteworthy rankings closer to home as well. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego were also ranked among America’s top cities and zip codes for luxury homes.
