The Future of Luxury Real Estate: Key Trends Shaping 2025 (report)
The 2025 Sotheby’s International Realty Luxury Outlook report offers a compelling look at how the high-end real estate market is evolving. A staggering $84 trillion wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to younger generations is reshaping demand, as younger buyers prioritize modern design, sustainability, and wellness. Meanwhile, high-net-worth individuals are on the move at record levels, with 135,000 projected relocations in 2025. Women are also emerging as powerful market influencers, expected to control $34 trillion in assets by 2030. Climate-driven events, like the devastating January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles, are increasingly affecting property values and buying decisions. Branded residences, now a $66 billion global market, continue gaining traction as buyers seek prestige and lifestyle alignment. Finally, “Best Places to Live” rankings are driving interest in cities that reflect personal aspirations and values. As global markets stabilize and generational preferences shift, luxury real estate is entering a new era defined by flexibility, wellness, and long-term vision.
