Affluent buyers are feeling bullish about housing, as luxury home sales skyrocket, Bloomberg reports. Million-dollar homes in the U.S. are selling at double their historical average, according to data released by the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Sales of homes that cost $1 million or more increased 7.8 percent in March compared to a year earlier. Meanwhile, sales of homes that cost $250,000 or less \u2014 which represent about two-thirds of the housing market \u2014 dropped 12 percent in March year-over-year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real estate market is the ultimate reflection of confidence, wealth, and income,\u201d says Sam Khater, deputy chief economist at CoreLogic.<\/p>\n

Transactions for homes costing $2 million or more soared 33 percent in January and February compared to a year earlier, according to an analysis by DataQuick of 25 of the top U.S. metro areas. The transactions were the highest for a two-month period since DataQuick began its tracking in 1988.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe luxury markets are on fire,\u201d Christie’s International CEO Bonnie Stone Sellers told Bloomberg. \u201cThe trends in luxury housing are similar to trends in other luxury goods. Whether you\u2019re buying a third home in Manhattan as a pied-a-terre or another Picasso, these are acquisitions of passion, of lifestyle, and of experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have been some blockbuster sales recently. The latest to grab headlines was the $147 million sale of an East Hampton\u2019s property, which now carries the title as the priciest home sale ever in the U.S. This came two weeks after the sale of a single-family home in Greenwich, Conn., known as Copper Beech Farm shattered home records at the time at $120 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stock market is very strong, and this is a way to monetize and concretize some gains,\u201d says Gary Wasserman, CEO of Allied Metals Corp., who is looking to boost his personal real estate portfolio. \u201cWe had quite a shock to our collective confidence in 2008 and 2009. The resurgence of the economy has underscored for us that this country remains a very strong place, and that the future remains strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
