Each year, the Sotheby’s International Realty Luxury Outlook report offers a global perspective on the trends shaping the high-end residential real estate market.

The 2026 edition highlights the continued strength of luxury residences worldwide, driven by sustained wealth creation, international mobility, and evolving lifestyle priorities among high-net-worth buyers. As global wealth continues to expand and transfer between generations, luxury real estate remains one of the most sought-after assets for both lifestyle and long-term investment.

The report also underscores the resilience of the luxury housing sector. Compared to the broader residential market, high-end properties tend to be less sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, with many transactions supported by substantial liquidity among affluent buyers.
