Defining the Luxury Real Estate Market

This lesson defines the luxury real estate market as a client, property, and advisory segment rather than a simple price category. Students learn why luxury thresholds are local, how scarcity and lifestyle value influence demand, and why high-end practice requires stronger market interpretation than ordinary brokerage.

By the end, students should be able to distinguish luxury from merely expensive property, identify the main forces that shape luxury value, and speak about the market with discipline, nuance, and credibility.
