The study further revealed:• 72 percent of respondents believe their primary home value has remained constant or increased in value over the last 12 months (46 percent remained constant; 26 percent increased). • Nearly two-thirds, or 63 percent, of respondents report that current conditions have "no effect" on their likelihood to sell their primary home.• In the next year, 55 percent of the million-dollar homeowners plan to buy, sell, build or invest in a new home.• 69% of million-dollar homeowners agree that now is a good time to add to one's real estate holdings.The respondents feel that the media plays a role in the perception of the current real estate market conditions.
