West Palm Beach Leads Luxury-Home Price Surge in U.S. Sun Belt -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Nov 25

1052 ET - West Palm Beach, Fla., is leading a Sun Belt luxury surge that is redefining the upper end of the U.S. housing market, according to Redfin. Luxury homes in the South Florida metro sold for a median of $4.04 million in October, up 187.3% from a decade ago--more than double the national rise of 82.5%. One of the things driving wealthy buyers towards southern Florida is the state's no-income-tax structure, which became even more compelling after the 2017 SALT deduction cap increased the tax burden for high earners in states like New York and California, Redfin says. The rise of remote work since 2020 opened the door for high-earning buyers from big East and West Coast cities to relocate south. Eight of the 10 major metros with the fastest growth in luxury home prices since 2015 are in the Sun Belt. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
