Can U.S. Luxury real estate Markets Sustain Home Prices?
Top 10 Luxury Home Markets To Watch for Price Increases or Reductions
The Unique homes magazine has listed 25 luxury home markets to watch in 2007 in its January issue. According to the Unique Homes report the 25 luxury markets will indicate where the luxury real estate market is heading to. These markets along with features that make them stand out from the rest are worth watching out for.
The following is a brief report on the top 10 luxury home markets to watch for price increases or reductions in 2007.
1. Annapolis, Maryland. The waterfront city located on Chesapeake Bay offers excellent boating and affordable prices compared to Washington’s luxury enclaves. With Washington and Baltimore within reasonable commute, this city is highly desirable.
2. Asheville, North Carolina. An eclectic ambiance and low-key lifestyle attracts people to Asheville which continues to remain one of the hottest places for luxury home buyers.
3. Aspen, Colorado. From a ski enclave this luxury market has grown into a platinum location. With its four-season appeal and restrictive zoning policies, Aspen is still a highly-sought after destination.
4. Atlanta, Georgia. The city offers several new upscale communities, numerous lifestyle amenities, retreats and much sought after waterfront luxury homes.
5. Austin, Texas. A strong real estate market that saw record gains in 2006, the reputable University of Texas, the scenic lakes and the great music attracts buyers to this hill country.
6. Bellevue/Medina, Washington. With prices going up at 28 percent, the market has still not peaked and several upscale neighborhoods are available at a lower price range when compared to other markets.
7. Beverly Hills, California. One of the top ranked luxury markets that is perpetually in demand, Beverly Hills continues to be untarnished and idolized as the Mecca for luxury. Hollywood Hills is currently a hot market for buyers.
8. Idaho. The growing resort markets in the state garner attention for the state that is making its presence felt in the luxury home market.
9. Jupiter, Florida. The boom has arrived here after Tiger Woods’ purchase of a 10-acre estate for $38 m. The market continues to surge on this exclusive island.
10. Manhattan Uptown, downtown, midtown. The luxury market is upbeat with record sales of more than $5 m in 2006 accelerated by Wall Streeters. Co-ops and town houses are favorites among buyers here.
If you are interested in buying or selling a home, condo or any other type of real estate in any of these markets, be sure to seek out the services of a real estate agent to advise you about current local market conditions.

Is it difficult to move to, find work, and live in the Florida Keys?
Like is it way too expensive like Hawaii, is there lots of good work there, and is the real estate unattainably sky high, etc?
First, the state of Florida has no state income tax. Definitely a plus.
Unfortunately the Florida Keys is a fairly small geographic area. Housing as well as the job base is somewhat limited. Most of the businesses exist to either serve tourism directly (hotels/inns, restaurants, water activities), or to support those businesses. This means that when tourism takes a nose dive, the Keys end up taking a financial hit.
You will probably find the prices on most items higher (like food at the supermarket as well as everyday items), because of the transportation costs as well as lack of competition. This isn’t Miami with 25+ Wal-Marts.
That said if you like “island living” and a laid back attitude you’ll do just fine. Don’t expect things to be done in a hurry.
