Luxury is an often overused word to describe real estate. Everything from a nice condo kitchen with mid-higher end appliances or a heated swimming pool gets labeled as βLuxury”.Β Luxury is also used to describe ultra-luxury custom homes of the one-percenters of the world. Luxury real estate is often defined differently in different markets and often is related to property value and residential incomes. In many markets, a property over a million dollars was thought of as luxury, but, as a result of rising property values, some 146 cities in the United States have a median home price of over 1m USD. Will homes around the median be luxury? Probably not. Hereβs what you will find in Los Cabos.
