  • The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey found in 2014 that there are approximately 23 million households with $100,000+ income—almost 28% of the overall U.S. population.
  • The average listing price for an agent with the Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) designation is $1,023,800; nearly five times the median price of all U.S. homes during the same period.
