The good news came after a disappointing September that might have reflected unease over interest rates creeping up as well as closings taking longer than expected.<\/p>\n<p>The same mixed progress isn\u2019t occurring in the luxury market, however.<\/p>\n<p>The National Association of REALTORS\u00ae (NAR) recently announced that sales of properties worth more than <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.fortune.cnn.com\/2013\/12\/16\/real-estate-luxury-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1 million<\/a> increased by almost a third in October 2013 nationwide compared to the previous year. In September, however, sales of the same properties increased by a whopping 40 percent. Not bad.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing luxury sales are doing well is just the first step in taking advantage of the trend, of course. You also have to know why they are doing well, which means acquiring insight about why the wealthy have been growing wealthier in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>For most of us, the economic recovery has been slow but sure. For the 1 percent, it\u2019s already occurred. Now they\u2019re shopping.<\/p>\n<p>First, the stock market is going gangbusters. While naysayers predict a plateau, it still has plenty of room to grow. Knowing a client\u2019s relationship with the stock market (if they are investors) is always useful. Just keep in mind that our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhgrealestate.com\/Views\/MediaCenter\/News.aspx?id=3098\">luxury survey<\/a> found that 75 percent believe that investing in a home is actually more a sound investment than the stock market itself!<\/p>\n<p>Second, foreign wealthy buyers are on the march, especially in cities in the South and West, where South American and Asian tycoons are investing in real estate. International buyers represented <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/articles\/2013-08-22\/foreign-buyers-drive-floridas-housing-recovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">23 percent<\/a> of all home sales in Florida in 2013, for example. Given the difficulties of non-U.S. residents obtaining loans, they tend to pay in cash, too.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, builders are swarming into the luxury home market after years of sitting on the sidelines, giving the wealthy more options. The new builds won\u2019t depress prices anytime soon, however, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2013\/12\/10\/595712\/10060952\/en\/Toll-Brothers-Reports-4th-Qtr-and-FYE-2013-Results.html?f=22&amp;fvtc=6&amp;fvtv=TOL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toll Brothers<\/a>, because inventories are still low. Getting in on luxury new builds is a path to success.<\/p>\n<p>The boom in luxury housing has led to some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/realestate\/la-fi-instant-homes-20131223,0,228909.story#axzz2oPa2Celv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crazy practices<\/a>: like celebrities in Los Angeles leaving behind their personal items in their homes for sale as an incentive to affluent buyers looking to own not only a gorgeous house but a piece of fame.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, most REALTORS\u00ae aren\u2019t in a position to show prospective buyers Elton John\u2019s former snake-skin-covered bed frame or Ellen DeGeneres\u2019 pots and pans. But you can feel like a star in your brokerage if you can turn over some of the highest value houses in your region.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to learn more about the luxury market audience, don\u2019t forget to check out \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/rismedia.com\/2014-02-03\/keeping-up-with-the-new-joneses-redefining-luxury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keeping Up with the New Joneses: Redefining Luxury<\/a>\u201d article in this month\u2019s <i>Real Estate <\/i>magazine.
