Douglas Elliman Real Estate Broker Noble Black emphasizes the contributing factors that cause a peak in the luxury home sales of New York City and whether return-to-office plays a role.
More luxury home buyers pay in cash this year to acquire real estate, a report from Coldwell Banker Real Estate revealed.
The company said in his “2025 Midden-Year Report“That more than half of the more than 200 Coldwell Banker Luxury Property Specialists investigated reported an increase in rich buyers who bought houses with cash.
About 34.1% said there has been a “slight increase”, while 16.6% said there has been a “significant” increase in that method.

The mortgage interest rate has the increase in buyers who pay in cash to acquire houses, according to National Association of Realtors Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Research Lawrence Yun.

Many turn to personal savings, shares or funds they have obtained by selling another real estate, because the “primary” means to make their luxury home purchases, according to the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Report.
In the meantime, for 45.4% of specialists, cash purchases have remained at their current level this year, according to the report.
On the other hand, only 3.9% of the Luxury Property specialists from Coldwell Banker indicated that their customers went away from buying houses via All-cash Deals, said Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
The trend in cash purchases comes when approximately 68% of Coldwell Banker’s agents said that rich home buyers with whom they collaborate “maintain or increasing – maintain current exposure to real estate.”

“Real Estate proves herself as an anti-fragile active,” she continued. “In contrast to many investments that struggle under uncertainty, real estate tends to strengthen over time and remains one of the best long -term hedges against inflation. That is why so many smart investors and buyers with high power park their money in real estate this year.
While rich buyers stick to their weapons when it comes to what they want from a house, Coldwell Banker Real Estate also said that they “are strategic about their purchases and give priority to aspects of the house that create value over aesthetic perfection” such as affordability, taxes and investment potential.
That could make an increase in “smart buyers” aimed at “distinction and strategy instead of pure indulgence,” the report said.

The report also sheds light on how ultra-high net value buyers with more than $ 30 million in assets and “ambitious buyer” worth $ 1-5 million are employed by the luxury real estate market.
Some in the last category, confronted with economic uncertainty, are approaching the market with caution, according to the report.
Michael Altneu, vice-president of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, said in the report that the luxury market “continued to show strength in 2025”, but several factors have “a more complete rebound in market activity”.
The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing Data showed an increase of 1.7% in the turnover of luxury single -family homes in the period from January to the end of May of those of the same time frame last year and an increase of 1.8% in selling prices, according to Coldwell Banker Real Estate.

Both types of real estate saw the year on annual increases in the first five months of the year, with luxury houses with single -family homes booking a leap of 19.6% and kept an increase of 14.8%, according to the report.
The US saw active offers from single -family homes, apartments, terraced houses and other types of homes in May more than 1 million, a level that the country had not climbed since the winter of 2019, according to a report from Realtor.com that was released at the beginning of June.
