Luxury Market Shaped By “Affluent Trailblazers” In 2020, Report Finds
Coldwell Banker has released its annual global luxury market report covering the happenings in the upper echelons of real estate in 2020. The report is rich with insights into markets and buyers’ habits over the last year. It offers a few major takeaways, namely that efforts to safeguard wealth led buyers to “cast wider nets” into real estate, stocks, art, and other niches, while some bumped up their timelines to move to locales with lower taxes. The report also names “affluent trailblazers”—people who left cities to seek out intangible luxuries like health and security in small towns and second-home destinations—as a major force in shaping the market last year.
