The Institute’s monthly luxury market reports provide an overview of the data and trends in the luxury market across North America. Luxury real estate professionals can gain insightful analysis of sales prices, volumes, number of sales, sales-price-to-list ratios, days on the market, and price-per-square-foot properties in selected markets of the United States and Canada. It is, in effect, a detailed survey of luxury active and recently-sold properties that allows professionals to gain insights that can be shared with colleagues and information pertinent to clients.
The report is designed to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the luxury market, including both single-family and attached homes, based on a list of metrics relevant to this particular residential real estate market segment. Let’s dive deeper into how you can utilize these reports to elevate your career and establish yourself as a luxury expert in your market.
How to use luxury market reports
Each report’s active and sold data is compiled from varied resources, including local MLS Board reports, tax records from the various market areas, and information gleaned from REALTOR.com. All data and statistics in the reports are reliable and fact-checked to provide you with invaluable information to boost your credibility when speaking with potential clients, following up with leads, or networking with other professionals. Additionally, you can take a “big picture” approach to your marketing strategies by considering how nationwide and international trends affect your local markets and setting yourself apart from the competition.
Some common ways to utilize the information contained in the luxury market report include:
- Your listing presentations
- Mailers to current and potential clients
- Follow-up correspondence
- Social media posts
- Data-driven marketing strategies
In a recent episode of the Estate of Mind podcast, Institute GUILD™ Member Sherri Anne Green shares how she leveraged luxury market reports to create data-driven marketing content to increase her brand awareness. She stresses the importance of breaking down the chunky data into “bite-size,” creative content (such as video content for social media) for your target audience. She would include these creatives in her follow-up correspondence with potential leads to stand out from the competition. Check out the full episode to learn tips on sprucing up your marketing content and winning more luxury real estate listings.
