There's a cost for the finer things, and a definitive link between living luxe and personal wealth—but in the dominant luxury markets of today, there's more to it than the price tag. According to Coldwell Banker Real Estate's new report, "State of Luxury 2019," there's a crop of luxury markets in the U.S.—dubbed "Power Markets"—with characteristics that, combined, make them ideal to invest in. These include accessibility, business prospects, exclusivity and/or photo op-ready views.

In collaboration with The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, which assessed for days on market, inventory, list prices, and more, Coldwell Banker identified the 10 luxury Power Markets of the past year. According to the report:
