*Luxury properties are defined as residential properties priced at $1,250,000 or more. Previous reports included properties priced at $1,000,000 or more. Due to increased median sale prices across all residential sales over the past 5 years, it was necessary to increase the benchmark to accurately reflect the top 10% of the market.
