Size matters. Sometimes. At least when it comes to luxury real estate.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/figure>\n

\u201cWhere $1 Million Buys the Most Space<\/a>,\u201d published by Realtor.com\u00ae on October 27, 2025, reveals that existing high-end U.S. homes priced at US$1-2M range significantly in size nationwide.<\/p>\n

At one end of the scale is Urban Honolulu, where US$1-2M typically buys 1,651 square feet of prime property. Occupying the other end is the metro area of Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell in Georgia, where the same budget secures a median 4,530 square feet\u2014more than twice as much living space.<\/p>\n

As Anthony Smith, senior economist for Realtor.com, highlights, both options offer value; the choice depends on an individual buyer\u2019s priorities and preferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuxury buyers are increasingly seeking value\u2014and that doesn\u2019t always mean a lower price tag, but rather more home for the money,\u201d says Smith of areas with bigger homes in this range. \u201cIn markets like Honolulu or the Bay Area, buyers are paying for proximity, views and prestige\u2014not square footage,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

So how do existing homes in key international locations measure up? With luxury real estate offices in more than 80 countries and territories worldwide, the Sotheby\u2019s International Realty brand can expand the picture.<\/p>\n

Data from Sotheby\u2019s International Realty affiliates in five prime property hotspots across five different continents shows that Cape Town, South Africa, offers the most spacious living, with US$1-2M typically buying 4,844 square feet, exceeding Atlanta\u2019s median footprint. This is followed by S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil (3,850 square feet), Auckland, New Zealand (1,732 square feet), Madrid, Spain (1,346 square feet), and Singapore (a diminutive but valuable 977 square feet).<\/p>\n

With its unrivalled global network, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty understands that what defines a luxury home is unique to each buyer, and its affiliated agents are ready to help identify opportunity, wherever in the world their clients want to live.<\/p>\n
