Other Ultimate Homes details:

  • There are now one million homes valued at over $1 million dollars in the U.S.

  • There are about 700 luxury real estate agents associated with the 1,000 properties.

  • Connecticut, which has 38 properties on the Ultimate Homes list, is the smallest state geographically with the most homes on the list.

  • New York City has more homes on the list than any other city.

“We not only wanted to make the second annual issue bigger and better than last year’s, but also to reflect the recent growth at the highest end of the luxury real estate market. So this issue boasts more homes and bigger price tags,” said Rick Goodwin, publisher of Ultimate Homes and its luxury real estate sister publication, Unique Homes.

“The nine figure price-tag for the Trump property is indicative of a new scale of consumption – one where billionaires are concerned with differentiating themselves from mere millionaires,” he added.

A Unique Homes survey of luxury residential brokers found that about 76 percent of the $1 million-plus buyers are entrepreneurs. About 54 percent pay in all-cash, 74 percent collect art, 63 percent collect cars or antiques, and 54 percent collect wine.

Among the other findings in this survey:

  • Spanish/Mediterranean ranked as the most desired style of luxury home today.

  • Desirable location (87 percent) is the trait most likely to differentiate an $8 million-plus home from one that is only a few million.

  • Luxury brokers report that when working with married couples, the wife has more say in the decisions to purchase.

  • Jacuzzis/hot tubs, marble and granite, and media rooms have reportedly fallen out of favor with buyers of high-end luxury homes.

  • About 53 percent of upper-tier brokers said a home priced at $8 million or above takes up to 19 months on average to sell.

  • The majority of New York City brokers surveyed said the starting level for luxury in Manhattan is $2 million; the majority of Dallas brokers said it’s $1 million, and San Diego brokers cited $3 million as the starting level for luxury.
