Homes in the $5 million price range often boast great views, oceanfront locations, and amenities geared toward leisure activities and entertainment. In the Hamptons, a luxury market in Long Island, New York, pools and tennis courts are between 5.4 and 8.4 times more likely to be noted in the listing than in other markets, per Trulia.
Five-million-dollar-plus homes now epitomize the new threshold for entry into luxury real estate.
