Luxury buyers aren’t just signing checks and sipping champagne anymore—they’re pulling out calculators on vacation in Switzerland to debate whether to counter $100K or $150K on a $15M property. That’s 1% of the price, but in 2025, every number matters.
In this roundtable, agents from Miami, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Silicon Valley break down the rise of the calculated luxury buyer—a client who scrutinizes every deal, every remodel, every insurance premium with one big question: “Will I make it back when I sell?”
We cover:
Why even ultra-wealthy buyers are analyzing line-by-line costs
How turnkey homes and wellness perks (cold plunges included) became non-negotiable
The role of insurance costs and tax strategy in purchase decisions
Why some markets (like Silicon Valley) are riding AI-fueled optimism while others stay cautious
The widening gap between ultra-luxury cash buyers and price-sensitive entry-level luxury
This isn’t about luxury as status. It’s about luxury as strategy.
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
