Trends Driving the Luxury Market

Several factors have fueled the growth of the luxury real estate market in 2024. Interest rate cuts, such as the Federal Reserve’s reduction to 4.25% in December and projections for further cuts in 2025, have spurred buyer activity. Similarly, Canada’s central bank is expected to reduce rates by 25-50 basis points, fostering optimism among buyers and sellers alike.
