If 2025 was defined by resilience, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of recalibration and opportunity.

Wealth continues to be created, transferred, and strategically deployed, but with sharper discernment. Buyers are no longer simply purchasing homes; they are underwriting long-term lifestyle decisions in an environment where capital, technology, and values increasingly intersect.
