I'll echo Ron and Alexandra Seigel   The top 10% of the market would be classified as high end and luxury here.  On my board at the moment we have only 35 homes priced $1M or above.  14 of those are my listings.

I think it varies from market to market.  In my area over $500K is getting high end.  In other markets, that is squalor.   We don't have much of what I would consider "luxury".

Generally I'd say three million and up here. Mostly it's above five million. But there are some under three that qualify; it's really more about quality than price. If it's an oceanfront property the price can still be high without the quality we see in some country properties.

Kevin it depends on the location.  Scottsdale luxury homes start about 1.5M where as Peoria Luxury homes start about 550K or so. I follow the market in 8 towns/areas each month so it's pretty easy to see what's going on with this market.

Usually around $600,000.00 and up are described as luxury or high end in some areas, but in other areas $600,000.00 is just your basic 4 bedroom home.

I guess maybe $1.5 million to $2 million as the starting point, pending on town.

In some towns, a $1.5 million may only be a bit over avg.

Since 500k is an average price of a local property, everything above 1mln for sfr is high end. For condos/townhouses, it depends on amenities and specific location.

The top 10% is normally considered the high end or luxury. In some communities that's about $1M at least but in others like Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla it's way higher. Entry level in many communities along the coast is at least $600K for a modest home, and in some places at least a million to get anything at all

Luxury and high end in my market is not just a price point (recent sale in Laguna Beach $45 million needed some work - price is for billionaaires ) it also is condition of property. Buyers will purchase a 2 million dollar home to knock it down and rebuild- end result is luxury high end
