Financing a luxury property isn’t simply about higher loan amounts—it’s about strategy, expertise, and access to the right programs. As the U.S. luxury housing market continues to grow, understanding how financing truly works behind the scenes is essential. In 2025, conforming loan limits sit at $806,500, meaning most luxury buyers rely on jumbo or super-jumbo loans. These products carry stricter requirements—stronger credit, higher reserves, and tighter debt ratios—but also offer tailored flexibility for high-net-worth clients. Current jumbo 30-year fixed rates have been fluctuating from the high 5’s to the low 6’s, reflecting the premium nature of these loans.
The luxury housing segment continues to show resilience. According to Redfin, U.S. luxury home prices rose 8.8% year-over-year, more than double the pace of standard homes. Compass reports over $31 billion in ultra-luxury ($10 M+) sales in 2024, with major activity in New York, California, Florida, and Colorado.
As Nick Memeti, Top Originator recognized by Scotsman Guide, notes: “Luxury financing is about structure, not size. The right guidance connects buyers with programs designed around their financial goals.”
With elevated rates and increased cash transactions among affluent buyers, strategic lending has never been more important. While many lenders take over 30 days to close a luxury or jumbo loan, Nick has been known to close these loans as quickly as 7–10 days. Speed is kind of his thing. The right financing partner can unlock access, preserve liquidity, and position clients to act decisively in a competitive market.

Luxury Market Trends Across Chicago’s North Shore and Western Suburbs
Across Chicago’s North Shore and the western suburbs, the luxury housing market demonstrates steady resilience amid broader economic uncertainty. While national headlines highlight rate fluctuations and market shifts, these established communities continue to attract discerning buyers. Market performance, however, varies by property type, location, and specific neighborhood.
Detached homes remain the anchor of luxury demand. In North Shore enclaves like Winnetka, Kenilworth, and Lake Forest, well-maintained properties continue to command top dollar. Buyers are particularly drawn to homes that combine architectural pedigree, modernized interiors, lake access, and move-in readiness. Premium properties in highly desirable neighborhoods can sell quickly, reflecting a strong pool of motivated, qualified buyers.
While many North Shore communities have experienced mid- to high-singledigit median price growth year-over-year, outlier sales—such as multimillion-dollar lakefront estates—demonstrate the market’s continued strength at the high
end, though results vary depending on condition, location, and amenities.
The market for attached homes— condominiums and townhomes—shows a more mixed picture. Some suburban condo markets have seen softer demand relative to detached homes, as highend buyers prioritize space, privacy, and land. Nevertheless, units that offer exceptional design, standout locations, or private outdoor spaces remain competitive, highlighting the importance of presentation, pricing strategy, and differentiation.
Inventory remains limited in several North Shore pockets. For example, Winnetka and Kenilworth often hover below 20 active listings in the luxury bracket, creating opportunities for sellers with well-positioned homes. This scarcity continues to underpin price resilience and accelerated sale timelines for properties in premium condition.
Towns such as Hinsdale, Naperville, and Oak Brook continue to attract buyers seeking a balance of quality, amenities, and relative affordability compared with lakefront North Shore communities. While
Chicago, United States
“value” is relative—luxury homes in these towns still command multimillion-dollar prices—they provide alternatives for buyers prioritizing good schools, refined architecture, and proximity to downtown Chicago.
Across both regions, location and condition remain the decisive factors. Homes that are updated, wellmaintained, and situated in the most coveted neighborhoods command premiums, while properties requiring substantial renovation or farther from key amenities experience longer market times. Lakefront properties and distinctive estates, in particular, continue to attract intense competition and strong offers.
For sellers, careful preparation remains essential: authenticity, quality, and move-in readiness distinguish properties in this discerning market. For buyers, success hinges on working with experienced advisors who understand the subtle differences between communities and property types, and acting decisively when well-positioned opportunities arise.
