It was followed by <span class=\"xn-location\">San Jose, CA<\/span> (92.3%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Oakland, CA<\/span> (82%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Sacramento, CA<\/span> (79.3%) and <span class=\"xn-location\">Las Vegas<\/span> (72.7%). <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Sacramento<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Las Vegas<\/span> have consistently made Redfin&#8217;s ranking of top migration destinations during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Luxury properties, even those in the <span class=\"xn-money\">$3 million<\/span> range, are getting multiple offers and going for well over the asking prices,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-location\">Oakland, CA<\/span> Redfin real estate agent <span class=\"xn-person\">Katy Polvorosa<\/span>. &#8220;That&#8217;s something we haven&#8217;t seen before, even though the <span class=\"xn-location\">Bay Area<\/span> has many affluent residents.

The number of luxury homes for sale fell 5.1% year over year in the first quarter, the smallest decline of all five price tiers. By comparison, the supply of affordable homes for sale slumped 14.9%, and the supply of mid-priced homes plummeted 19.8%.<\/p>\n<p>The supply shortage in the luxury market is less severe than the supply shortage in other price tiers partly because more high-end homeowners are putting their properties up for sale. New listings of luxury homes grew 15.8% year over year in the first quarter, while listings in most other price tiers <i>declined<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a huge shortage of affordable homes for sale, many <i>non-luxury<\/i> homeowners are hesitant to put their properties on the market because they&#8217;re worried they&#8217;ll have trouble finding their next house,&#8221; said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather &#8220;This isn&#8217;t as big of an issue for luxury homeowners since there&#8217;s a relative abundance of high-end homes to choose from.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Non-luxury homeowners have also taken advantage of mortgage forbearance during the pandemic, allowing them to hold onto their homes in the event of a default instead of putting them up for sale. This is another reason the housing shortage is more acute in the non-luxury market, Fairweather added.<\/p>\n<p>The typical luxury home that was for sale during the first quarter spent 61 days on the market\u201438 fewer days than the same period in 2020. That compares with 26 fewer days for expensive homes, 18 fewer days for mid-priced homes and 14 fewer days for affordable homes.<\/p>\n<p>To view the full report, including the metro-level breakdowns, charts and methodology, please visit: <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3136266-1&amp;h=4227286534&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fluxury-versus-affordable-housing-market-Q1-2021%2F&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fluxury-versus-affordable-housing-market-Q1-2021%2F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/luxury-versus-affordable-housing-market-Q1-2021\/<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Redfin <br \/><\/b>Redfin (<u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3136266-1&amp;h=2481904754&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2F&amp;a=www.redfin.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.redfin.com<\/a><\/u>) is a technology-powered real estate broker, instant home-buyer (iBuyer), lender, title insurer, and renovations company.
