Earlier this month, we touched down on where Texas ranks in the booming world of ultra-luxury U.S. real estate. Houston, Austin, and Dallas all snagged a spot in Compass’ top 23 markets in 2023, though interestingly, Dallas and Houston edged out Austin by quite a bit.
In the world of Compass Real Estate, “ultra-luxury” is defined as any residential sale of $10 million or more. A staggering eight ultra-luxury Dallas properties were sold by Compass agents in 2023 (seven were sold in Houston), but given our city’s continued growth, we’re looking ahead, turning our focus to the lavish properties currently for sale in 2024.
For the listings ahead, gourmet kitchens are a given, as are top-tier appliances, up-to-date renovations, and more bathrooms than you can shake a stick at. We’re more interested in what takes a house from luxury to ultra-luxury. For example: a regulation golf course and thousands of square feet in porches. If those happen to be in your budget, cheers! If not, we’re happy to peruse these exceptional Dallas listings right alongside you.
