10 Cities Where ‘Entry-Level’ Luxury Homes Cost the Most in 2025

A million-dollar home no longer means “luxury.” In many U.S. cities, the average starting price for a luxury home — defined as one in the top 10% of the market — is just under $1.3 million, according to a new Realtor.com report.

In high-end markets, however, you’ll need much more than $1.3 million to afford an “entry-level” luxury home. To find the top 10 metros by 90th percentile listing price, Realtor.com analyzed both metropolitan and micropolitan areas that had at least 500 listings for million-dollar homes in July 2025.
