Sale prices for the most expensive 5 percent of homes gained 3.1 percent in the fourth quarter compared to a year earlier, led by big gains in Philadelphia, Austin and Sacramento.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sale prices in the bottom 95 percent of the market grew 5.4 percent over the same period, outpacing luxury price growth for the fourth-straight quarter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The number of homes for sale priced at $1 million or more fell 6.4 percent from a year prior. A low supply of luxury homes in many cities likely played a role in driving up prices at the top of the market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the late-year price increase is welcome news for luxury real estate investors, Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson is hesitant to call it a lasting trend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cA slowing economy and volatile stock market have many luxury home sellers on edge,\u201d Richardson said. \u201cThis concern is warranted in large luxury markets such as Houston, Miami, Tampa and Chicago. Instead to shifting into high gear, luxury prices in these markets declined.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-44635\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Average-Home-Prices-YOY.png\" alt=\"Average Home Prices-YOY\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-44637\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Q4-Luxury-Market-Summary.png\" alt=\"Q4 Luxury Market Summary\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Biggest Winners<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Philadelphia and Austin the average price for a luxury home was more than 20 percent higher than a year earlier. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Austin is one of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/austin.culturemap.com\/news\/city-life\/03-26-15-austin-fastest-growing-metro-area-in-texas-census-data\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fastest growing cities in the nation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so it\u2019s not surprising that prices there are booming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The big jump in Philadelphia\u2019s luxury market is more unexpected. Redfin agent Tom Lewis said the change might be linked to the sale of several multi-million-dollar condos in a new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tollbrothers.com\/luxury-homes-for-sale\/Pennsylvania\/410-at-Society-Hill#homedesigns\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Society Hill development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 12.6 percent price boost at the top of Sacramento\u2019s market is driven by buyers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/the-digital-diaspora.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">relocating to the area from other parts of the state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, fleeing dismally low inventory and high prices in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-44638\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Q4-Luxury-Market-Winners.png\" alt=\"Q4 Luxury Market Winners\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Biggest Losers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Baltimore\u2019s luxury market had the largest price drop, falling 17.9 percent, followed by Tampa, Fla., where prices fell 14.7 percent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tampa luxury prices fell nearly 9 percent from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, which Redfin agent Wendy Peterson attributed to buyers timing their purchase to the school calendar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe most desirable communities are known for their highly-rated schools,\u201d said Peterson, \u201cSo the market often tapers off at the end of the year.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luxury home prices have fallen for two consecutive quarters in Baltimore, Chicago and Houston. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe slowdown in the Houston market is a knee-jerk reaction from buyers due to all the attention on low oil prices,\u201d Redfin agent Tara Waggoner said. \u201cThe mindset is that we\u2019re such an oil and gas city, but our economy is quite diversified. It\u2019s more about the mindset than anything else right now. Houstonians are being cautious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-44636\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Q4-Luxury-Market-Losers.png\" alt=\"Q4 Luxury Market Losers\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most Unequal Cities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miami Beach and other South Florida cities continue to feature prominently on our list of the most unequal cities in America. New to the ranking this quarter was Paradise, Nev., home to the Las Vegas strip. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Philadelphia was another newcomer to the ranking. A luxury condo or historic townhome in the exclusive downtown enclaves of Society Hill or Rittenhouse Square costs more than five times as much as the city\u2019s average sale price of $172,000. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redfin agent Tom Lewis said Philadelphia is historically a working class town, but has a large and growing business and financial services sector. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cUnlike cities like Miami, our luxury market is driven by owner-occupant buyers, not foreign investors,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing more high-income Philadelphia workers deciding to buy downtown where they can enjoy our world-class restaurants and cultural amenities instead of purchasing sprawling homes in the suburbs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-44639\" class=\"align-none\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-44640\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Unequal-Cities-31.png\" alt=\"Unequal Cities (3)\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To see data for your city, download the data at <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RedfinLuxuryData_Q42015_Asof2.1.16.xlsx\">this link<\/a>.

Analysis is based on multiple-listing and county recorder sales data in markets served by Redfin, as of Feb. 1. To determine luxury market winners and losers, we looked at cities with at least 100 luxury sales in the quarter. To determine the most unequal cities, we looked at cities with at least 25 luxury sales in the quarter.
