  • Homes.com said the list covers MLS-listed transactions only, excluding private and off-market deals that remain common in the luxury segment.
  • 63% of Luxury Property Specialists reported more all-cash purchases, up from 51% a year earlier, underscoring why top-end markets such as Los Angeles and Miami are moving on different timelines than rate-sensitive segments.
