Rare Cannabinoid Company Shares Guide to Reading CBD and THC Lab Tests and Hemp Product Labels

Educational guide explains certificates of analysis, cannabinoid amounts per serving and what to check when comparing gummies, mints and oils.

HONOLULU, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rare Cannabinoid Company is sharing an educational guide to help consumers understand hemp product labels and third-party cannabinoid lab reports. The guide, "How to Read Hemp Product Labels: What's Really Inside Your Gummies and Oils?", provides a practical checklist and a walkthrough of a real certificate of analysis, commonly called a COA.

Products with similar names can contain very different formulas. For example, shoppers comparing CBN sleep gummies should check the amount of CBN and CBD per serving, whether THC is included and whether the formula contains melatonin or other sleep supplements. A product highlighting THCV may also include other cannabinoids. The guide helps readers look beyond the front label to identify individual ingredients, serving sizes and supporting laboratory results.

How to Read a Cannabinoid Lab Report

A certificate of analysis reports laboratory findings for a submitted sample. Rare Cannabinoid Company's guide explains how consumers can match a report to the finished product, check the batch identifier and test date, and locate the cannabinoids listed on the label.

Readers learn how to distinguish percentages from milligrams per serving and interpret common laboratory terms, including "ND," or not detected. The guide also explains why a cannabinoid potency report does not automatically establish that testing for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents or other contaminants was included.

A worked example uses a third-party lab report for Rare Cannabinoid Company's Mood Gummies. The walkthrough shows readers where to find THC, CBC and CBD results, how to select the correct reporting column and how to compare measured amounts with the product's stated formula.

The guide also shows how to compare the same cannabinoid blend across formats: Mood Gummies contain twice the THC, CBC and CBD per piece as the company's THC Mints, illustrating why both the amount per piece and the number of pieces per container matter when comparing strength and value.

Understanding What Is Inside Hemp Gummies and Oils

Beyond lab reports, the guide addresses common questions about hemp products:

- Does "hemp" mean a product contains CBD?

- Is hemp seed oil the same as CBD oil?

- Does "1,000 mg hemp extract" mean 1,000 mg CBD?

- How do amounts per container differ from amounts per serving?

- Can a product marketed as THCV gummies also contain THC?

- What should shoppers check when a label says "zero THC"?

The resource brings these questions together in a seven-point shopping checklist covering individual cannabinoids, milligram amounts, serving size, servings per container, THC details, complete ingredients and a matching lab report.

By connecting product labels with laboratory results, the guide gives consumers a clearer way to compare formulas and ask informed questions before purchasing.

Preclinical study shows 1.5- to 2-hour increase in total sleep time as Company advances toward clinical development and attracts Chris Brearley, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnyx Therapeutics Ltd. ("Carnyx" or the "Company"), a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class molecular therapeutics for sleep and retinitis pigmentosa, today unveiled CNYX-005, its lead oral sleep candidate, alongside preclinical findings showing increased total sleep time and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in aged animal models.

In the study, aged rats administered with CNYX-005 showed an approximately 1.5- to 2-hour increase in total sleep time compared to the control arm, driven primarily by increased NREM sleep. Researchers measured sleep architecture using continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring.

"Our objective is not simply to induce sleep, but to investigate whether we can support restorative sleep physiology," said Carnyx CEO Prof. Patrick Gunning. "The increase in NREM sleep is particularly interesting because it suggests CNYX-005 may influence sleep architecture, rather than simply increasing time asleep."

NREM sleep is a fundamental component of normal sleep architecture, with deeper stages associated with restorative physiological processes including growth, hormone secretion and tissue repair. Sleep architecture changes with age, including reductions in deep NREM sleep and increased sleep fragmentation.

As Carnyx advances CNYX-005 toward clinical development, veteran drug developer Chris Brearley, M.D., has joined the Company as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Brearley brings more than 30 years of experience in translational medicine, clinical pharmacology and early-stage drug development, including senior roles at Pfizer, Amgen, and Serono. He has extensive experience designing and overseeing first-in-human and early-stage clinical studies.

"These findings provide important evidence supporting further evaluation of CNYX-005," said Dr. Brearley. "We are particularly encouraged by the observed increase in NREM sleep as we investigate the candidate's potential role in restorative sleep. I look forward to helping translate these findings into a rigorous clinical development program and supporting CNYX-005 toward potential clinical evaluation."

CNYX-005 emerged from research into peptide biology associated with sleep regulation and healthy aging, including research involving Epitalon. CNYX-005 is a distinct therapeutic candidate, and Carnyx is applying medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and drug-development approaches to establish efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic profiles.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently reviewed Epitalon and a selection of other peptides as part of its evaluation of substances proposed for pharmaceutical compounding. "There is growing scientific and public interest in peptides and their potential applications in health and longevity, often ahead of rigorous clinical evidence," added Prof. Gunning. "Our focus is on translating promising biology into a formally developed therapeutic candidate through systematic preclinical evaluation and, ultimately, clinical testing."

In addition to CNYX-005, Carnyx is developing CNYX-001, an investigational candidate for retinitis pigmentosa.

About Carnyx Therapeutics Ltd.

Carnyx Therapeutics Ltd. is a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class molecular therapeutics for sleep and retinitis pigmentosa. The Company is building a proprietary pipeline of novel product candidates designed to address unmet medical needs by translating emerging biology into rigorously developed therapeutics. Its lead sleep program, CNYX-005, is an orally administered candidate currently undergoing preclinical development.

Thomson Reuters launches the next generation of CoCounsel Legal globally, adding cross-border legal research from more than 100 countries and territories in a single workflow.

TORONTO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters (Nasdaq: TRI) (TSX: TRI), a global content and technology company, is making things simpler for legal professionals working across borders. The pressure to move faster, advise with greater confidence, and navigate requirements that span multiple countries and legal systems, while never compromising the professional standard their work demands, has never been greater.

Thomson Reuters is solving that with the new Multinational Profile, a capability that brings legal content from more than 100 countries and territories into a single CoCounsel Legal workflow. It helps legal teams research cross-border legal and compliance questions without leaving the platform they already trust. The new capability is available in the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, and the upgraded platform will be available to customers in more than 90 countries and territories throughout 2026. Customers in countries including Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom will soon have access to the fully agentic platform built around how legal work happens, grounded in the trusted authority of Westlaw and Practical Law.

These announcements are only possible because of what Thomson Reuters has spent 175 years building: authoritative legal content across jurisdictions, hard-won trust in its Fiduciary-Grade AI™ technology, and an ongoing commitment to serving the legal profession globally. Few companies could bring together legal content spanning so many countries and territories, the professional expertise to make it useful, and the platform scale to deliver it. Thomson Reuters can.

Introducing the CoCounsel Legal Multinational Profile

Until now, researching a cross-border legal question meant leaving CoCounsel Legal to find, evaluate, and reconcile information from multiple sources across jurisdictions, with no guarantee any of them met a professional standard. The new Multinational Profile changes that. It brings cross-border legal research into a single CoCounsel Legal workflow. Legal teams can research legal requirements across countries, compare key differences, identify issues that may require local advice, and trace every finding to its underlying source, all without switching tools or rebuilding context from scratch.

The Multinational Profile draws on Thomson Reuters globally trusted legal content and vetted official legal and regulatory sources, delivering responses that legal professionals can examine, verify, and act on. Legal teams gain a better-informed foundation for cross-border analysis while retaining full visibility into the sources behind answers and the ability to identify where deeper review or local counsel is required.

"Ask any lawyer whose work crosses borders what slows them down and you will hear the same answer: the research tools stop at the border," said David Wong, Chief Product Officer, Thomson Reuters. "They piece together sources from multiple platforms with no guarantee the result meets the professional standard their work demands. The Multinational Profile changes that, and Thomson Reuters has the scale, the content, and the expertise to deliver it. The professional standard now travels with the work, wherever the matter takes it."

Next Generation CoCounsel Legal Goes Global

Legal professionals globally will soon have access to the next generation of CoCounsel Legal, with key capabilities including:

- Market-Leading Research: Combines advanced AI with trusted Westlaw and Practical Law content to produce comprehensive legal research reports that surface key authorities, relevant precedents, and actionable insights.

- Workspaces: Create matter-specific workspaces that bring together firm documents, legal department materials, precedents, and institutional knowledge. Context is preserved across tasks and matters to support more informed analysis.

- Tabular Analysis: Enables attorneys to bulk review documents and ask questions simultaneously. Results are delivered in a dynamic, filterable table with supporting references linked to source materials for validation.

- Integrations with the tools lawyers use every day: CoCounsel Legal connects with document management systems and productivity tools, helping professionals access relevant information where work already takes place. Available integrations vary by country.

Not every capability is available in every geography, and availability will continue to expand.

"When we evaluate technology, the question is whether it will genuinely work for our lawyers and stand up to professional scrutiny," said Steve Savage, Partner and CTO & Head of Development at Gosschalks. "The next generation of CoCounsel Legal is a leap forward in both functionality and quality of output, grounded in the authority of Westlaw and Practical Law. Our time in the beta made the difference clear, and it's encouraging to see Thomson Reuters bringing that to firms around the world."

Availability

The next generation of CoCounsel Legal is available now in the United Kingdom, with general availability expected globally in countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates by the end of October 2026.

The Multinational Profile will become available to customers in the U.S., Europe, UK, Canada and Australia throughout October.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 14, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- For law enforcement officers and investigators, finding the connection between a suspect, a vehicle, and a past incident often requires hours of manual work. Searching through separate screens for people, vehicles, citations, and incidents takes valuable time away from patrol and investigations. To solve this problem, Caliber Public Safety today announced the launch of Caliber OneView, a new add-on for Caliber Online RMS that allows users to search and cross-reference agency records using plain-English questions.

Caliber OneView was built to deliver immediate operational impact for agencies by focusing on three core benefits:

- Uncovering Hidden Leads: The system does the cross-referencing for the officer. By asking a simple question (such as finding a subject based on a physical description and a pre-set tag like a firearm on file) officers can instantly narrow down thousands of records. It reveals connections between people, vehicles, and addresses that would otherwise take exhaustive manual digging to find.

- Massive Time Savings: Administrative and analytical tasks that used to take days are reduced to seconds. Compiling a monthly command report, which can traditionally take up to a week of manual data pulling, becomes an instant, built-in process, getting personnel back to high-priority tasks.

- Trust and Accountability: The tool respects each user's existing RMS security level, ensuring personnel only see authorized information. Every search is logged, giving agency administrators complete visibility, while keeping the agency's data in its own secure cloud environment.

Because the problem of siloed data affects the entire department, Caliber OneView provides practical value across the agency:

- Patrol Officers and Investigators: Follow leads hands-free from the cruiser using voice commands, instantly receiving a one-page summary of linking addresses, vehicles, and known associates.

- Supervisors and Analysts: Search by pre-set concept tags, such as domestic violence or burglaries, to quickly identify repeat subjects and hot addresses without having to read through every individual report narrative.

- Command Staff: Instantly view department-wide statistics, such as calls for service and citations issued by unit or officer, to make informed deployment decisions.

"Officers and command staff are already stretched thin, and they do not have the time to act as data miners," said Matt Watson, Vice President, Research & Development. "With Caliber OneView, we are giving them a tool that instantly performs cross-referencing for them. It helps officers find the connections they need to close cases, and it provides administrators with the exact statistics they need to run their departments, delivering immediate value and saving countless hours."

Caliber OneView is available now for Caliber Online RMS customers. To learn more about how your agency can save time and uncover hidden connections, visit caliberpublicsafety.com.

About Caliber Public Safety

Caliber Public Safety provides integrated technology solutions for law enforcement, fire/EMS, corrections, and 911 communications agencies. The Caliber platform includes CAD, Mobile, Online RMS, and JailTracker, all built by and for public safety professionals. With a focus on reliability, interoperability, and ease of use, Caliber serves hundreds of agencies across the country, helping first responders spend less time on technology and more time serving their communities.

High Templar Tech Limited Reports First Half of 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

XIAMEN, China, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High Templar Tech Limited ("High Templar" or "the Company" or "We") (NYSE: HTT), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

First Half of 2026 Financial Highlights:

- Total revenues were RMB8.0 million (US$1.2 million), compared to RMB29.3 million for the same period of last year

- Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB416.9 million (US$61.4 million), compared to RMB461.9 million for the same period of last year; net income per diluted ADS was RMB2.64 (US$0.39) for the first half of 2026

We continued to execute our business transition while maintaining a healthy balance sheet by pursuing efficient cash management. Moving forward, we remain focused on navigating market dynamics and capitalizing on new business opportunities in order to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.

First Half of 2026 Financial Results

Sales income and others decreased by 72.7% to RMB8.0 million (US$1.2 million) from RMB29.3 million for the first half of 2025, which was primarily due to the winding down of our last-mile delivery business. We have completely wound down the last-mile delivery business in the first half of 2026.

Total operating costs and expenses decreased by 10.0% to RMB188.1 million (US$27.7 million) from RMB209.0 million for the first half of 2025.

Cost of revenues decreased by 77.7% to RMB6.5 million (US$1.0 million) from RMB29.2 million for the first half of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in service cost as we wound down the last-mile delivery business.

General and administrative expenses increased by 61.0% to RMB183.9 million (US$27.1 million) from RMB114.2 million for the first half of 2025, primarily due to the increase in depreciation following the completion of the construction of our headquarters, loan arrangement fees related to the borrowings and employee benefit.

Research and development expenses decreased by 75.0% to RMB6.1 million (US$0.9 million) from RMB24.4 million for the first half of 2025, as a result of the decrease in staff headcount, which led to a corresponding decrease in personnel cost.

Loss from operations was RMB180.0 million (US$26.5 million), compared to RMB179.3 million for the first half of 2025.

Interest and investment income, net was RMB1,283.6 million (US$189.2 million), compared to RMB605.9 million for the first half of 2025, mainly attributable to the increase of income from investments in the first half of 2026.

Gain/(Loss) on derivative instrument was a loss of RMB602.7 million (US$88.8 million), compared to a gain of RMB77.5 million for the first half of 2025, mainly due to the decrease in quoted price of the underlying equity securities relating to the derivative instruments we held.

Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB416.9 million (US$61.4 million), compared to RMB461.9 million in the first half of 2025. Net income per diluted ADS was RMB2.64 (US$0.39).

Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB3,811.5 million (US$561.7 million) and restricted cash, current and non-current of RMB2,322.5 million (US$342.3 million). Restricted cash mainly represents security deposits held in designated bank accounts for the guarantee of short-term and long-term borrowings. Such restricted cash is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Company.

For the first half of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB1,142.6 million (US$168.4 million), mainly attributable to proceeds from interest and investment income. Net cash used in investing activities was RMB1,752.3 million (US$258.3 million), mainly due to payments of deposits pledged as collateral for derivative instruments. Net cash used in financing activities was RMB225.2 million (US$33.2 million), mainly due to the repurchase of ADSs and partially offset by the proceeds from long-term borrowings.

Update on Share Repurchase

Our Board approved a share repurchase program in March 2024 to purchase up to US$300 million worth of Class A ordinary shares or ADSs in the next 36 months starting from June 13, 2024. From the launch of the share repurchase program on June 13, 2024 to October 13, 2026, the Company has in aggregate purchased 69.1 million ADSs in the open market and a tender offer for a total amount of approximately US$208.3 million (an average price of $3.0 per ADS) pursuant to the share repurchase program.

As of October 13, 2026, the Company had in aggregate purchased 223.4 million ADSs for a total amount of approximately US$902.5 million (an average price of $4.0 per ADS).

Subsequent events

The Company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Luo Min, recently received a tax notice from the Xiamen Municipal Tax Bureau concerning historical equity restructurings of two PRC consolidated entities, Xiamen Qudian Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xiamen Qudian") and Xiamen Lexiang Time Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xiamen Lexiang"); under applicable PRC tax laws, these restructurings are taxable events for Mr. Luo and subject to individual income tax as "income from transfer of property". Because Mr. Luo held all of his equity interests in Xiamen Qudian and Xiamen Lexiang as nominee solely for the Company's benefit and the restructurings were carried out at the instruction of the Company, the board (with Mr. Luo abstaining) resolved that the Company should bear all related individual income tax, late surcharges, penalties and other tax costs. While discussions with relevant tax authorities are ongoing, Mr. Luo has made a tax filing in respect of tax payable of RMB790 million (approximately US$116 million), which is expected to be paid soon. The tax filing was made by Mr. Luo based on the Company's assessment of the current situation and the Company does not exclude the possibility that further taxes, late surcharges, penalties and other tax costs may be payable in connection with the restructurings of Xiamen Qudian and Xiamen Lexiang. The Company is evaluating potential impacts on other similar historical restructurings and will record accounting provisions and make further disclosures as required.

New GNSS-RO satellite launch advances PlanetiQ's growing constellation of high-precision atmospheric and ionospheric sensors

GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PlanetiQ's GNOMES-10 satellite successfully launched October 1 at 11:32 a.m. PDT aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking another major step in the company's expansion of its global GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO) constellation. Following launch, PlanetiQ's partner ground stations quickly established first contact with GNOMES-10, and spacecraft commissioning began immediately.

GNOMES-10 Carries PlanetiQ's Fourth-Generation Pyxis Receiver

GNOMES-10 carries PlanetiQ's fourth-generation Pyxis GNSS-RO receiver, which was built and tested at PlanetiQ's facility in Golden, Colorado. Pyxis is engineered to capture exceptionally high-quality GNSS signals for radio occultation measurements. Its combination of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), high-rate signal sampling, precise timing, and advanced antenna design enables PlanetiQ to retrieve highly detailed atmospheric profiles from each radio occultation event.

Pyxis incorporates a high-accuracy oscillator and PlanetiQ's bespoke satellite antenna design, both engineered to maximize the information captured from each GNSS-RO observation. These capabilities provide detailed measurements of atmospheric structure, including in the lower troposphere and ionosphere.

"Experiencing the launch firsthand is a reflection of, and a tremendous appreciation for, all the excellent hard work by everyone involved, including our employees, suppliers, and customers," said Chris McCormick, Founder, President and Chairman of PlanetiQ. "We are proud that our data supports weather applications by measuring Earth's atmospheric and ionospheric state and furthering our knowledge of Earth's dynamic weather patterns."

Simultaneous GNSS Tracking Creates More RO Opportunities

PlanetiQ satellites simultaneously track signals from all four major GNSS constellations: GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, and Galileo. Each satellite also uses a wide ±75-degree limb-sounding field of view.

By tracking multiple GNSS constellations simultaneously and observing signals across a wide field of view, PlanetiQ satellites can observe more GNSS transmitters at the same time. This creates more opportunities for radio occultation measurements and enables PlanetiQ to produce more GNSS-RO observations per hour than other commercial RO constellations.

The resulting observations provide weather models and other users with highly detailed information about atmospheric structure. PlanetiQ's high-SNR measurements are particularly valuable for resolving features in the lower troposphere, where atmospheric conditions can change rapidly and where conventional satellite observations can be challenging.

GNOMES-11 to Add Lower-Inclination GNSS-RO Observations

- Malaysia senior secured syndicated term financing upsized to approximately US$7.2 billion in total for Johor platform

- 1GW of IT Power Capacity now generating income under long-term customer contracts; 2.3GW of Bookings[1,2]committed by customers and Reservations[3] of 1.1GW

- Showcasing DayOne's ability to deliver on customer commitments at scale

SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DayOne Data Centers Limited ("DayOne"), a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform, today announced it has surpassed 1GW of Billings[4]. This follows the recent upsize of its senior secured multi-currency syndicated term financing in Malaysia to approximately US$7.2 billion in total. These milestones demonstrate DayOne's ability to deliver on customer commitments and execute at scale.

DayOne continues to strengthen its capital base to support its growth. Arranged by a seven-lender consortium, the upsized financing of approximately US$7.2 billion in Malaysia supports the continued development of its data center platform in Johor and builds on the approximately US$3.5 billion syndicated financing the company secured in May 2025. Since 2024, the company has raised over US$6 billion in equity across several financing rounds, alongside project financing from a broad roster of more than 30 local and global banking partners.

DayOne's Billings have grown over eightfold in under two years, from 121MW at the end of 2024. The 1GW Billings milestone comes as DayOne's Bookings reached approximately 2.3GW[1], up from 1.25GW at the end of 2025. In addition to the Bookings, DayOne also had 1.1GW[1] of Reservations[3] from customers.

Jamie Khoo, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne, said, "The confidence our banking partners and customers have placed in DayOne is reflected in these milestones and underpins our continued growth. Together, their support has enabled us to unlock strategic capacity for the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Our focus remains on earning that trust through responsible execution and bringing capacity online at speed and scale in the markets our customers need."

DayOne acquires powered land and secures anchor customer commitments early on in its development process. Across its ten-market footprint, DayOne's Resources[5] reached 4.6GW[1], up from 2GW at the end of 2025.

A key part of DayOne's growth strategy is to continue broadening and diversifying its customer base over time. Bookings came from 15 customers[1], up from nine at the end of 2024. Four of its top five customers are with DayOne in multiple markets. Three hyperscale customers each have multi-market deployments of around or above 200MW. Most recently, DayOne has secured additional orders with one of its existing U.S. hyperscale customers.

"By pioneering and scaling new markets, this conviction has shaped DayOne since inception, and it continues to guide how we grow," added Jamie. "From Singapore where DayOne was founded, we are driving the delivery of high-specification facilities across Asia Pacific and Europe."

Luxury Prices Fall for 30th Straight Month as Big Price Tags Fail to Guarantee Top School Marks, Realtor.com® Finds

Naples, Fla., tops luxury markets in elementary school ratings (9.3/10) and annual price gains, while second-priciest Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, ranks last (5.0/10)

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The national entry point to luxury housing edged down to $1,199,321 in September, 3.6% below a year ago and the 30th consecutive month of annual price declines, according to the Realtor.com® September Luxury Housing Report released today.

Every luxury tier is cheaper than a year ago, with the threshold for the top 5% of listings down 3.5% and the top 1% down 5.3%. Even so, luxury homes are selling faster than they were last September. Listings at the 90th percentile spent a median of 76 days on the market, three days fewer than a year ago, though two days more than in August as the market eases out of summer.

With students back in class, the report also looks at public elementary school ratings across luxury markets and finds that a big price tag doesn't guarantee top marks.

"Luxury prices keep drifting lower, but buyers haven't gone quiet. Homes are selling faster than a year ago in every tier," said Anthony Smith, senior economist at Realtor.com®. "School ratings are one local factor that can go hand in hand with price strength, as in Naples, Fla., but they don't make a market immune."

National Luxury Overview, September 2026

The luxury entry point is the lowest since January 2023, 14.1% below its May 2023 peak of roughly $1.4 million. It slipped 0.1% from August, following a 4.0% drop that month, and higher tiers softened slightly more. There are no clear signs yet of a reversal.

The million-dollar listing share fell to 12.5%, down 0.2 percentage points from August and 0.5 points from a year ago. Million-dollar listings rose 1.2% from last year while total active listings rose 5.4%. Listings at the 95th percentile spent 86 days on the market and those at the 99th percentile spent 100 days, each three days faster than a year ago. The typical listing spent 61 days on the market, unchanged from a year ago.

Los Angeles Widens Its Lead as the Highest Entry Point to Luxury

Los Angeles held the top spot at $3.95 million in September, widening its lead as Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, slipped 3.1%. The gap between the top two is now about 4%, after less than 1% separated the top three in August. Naples-Marco Island, Fla., moved up to third.

Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, Conn., fell 7.3% after a 6.0% drop in August. It is now 15.6% below a year ago, the steepest annual decline in the top 10, and 14.3% below its June peak, when it held the top spot.

Naples, Fla., (up 8.9%) and Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Fla,. (up 2.4%) were the only top 10 markets with annual gains. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., posted a third straight monthly gain but remains 10.8% below a year ago. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif., returned to the top 10, pushing out Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J.

Top 10 Most Expensive Metropolitan Luxury Markets

Back to School: Luxury Markets and Elementary School Ratings

Location drives luxury purchases, and for many buyers that includes schools. The report compares average public elementary school ratings from GreatSchools.org for luxury homes (listings at or above the metro's 90th percentile) across the 43 metropolitan areas it tracks. Naples-Marco Island, Fla., ranks first at 9.3 out of 10, followed by Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Fla., at 9.1 and Bridgeport. Conn., at 8.5. Naples and Crestview are also the only two top 10 most expensive markets with annual price gains.

Metros With the Highest-Rated Elementary Schools Among Luxury Markets

Strong elementary schools aren't a shield, however. Bridgeport, Conn., ranks third on elementary schools, but its luxury threshold is down 15.6% from a year ago. The price tag isn't a grade either. Luxury begins at $900,388 in Jacksonville, Fla., and $780,487 in San Antonio-New Braunfels, Texas, and both average higher elementary school ratings (7.8 and 7.4) than New York (6.7), where luxury starts at $2.62 million.

At the other end, Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, averages 5 out of 10, the lowest of any luxury metro and 4.3 points below Naples, Fla., despite having the second-highest luxury threshold. Urban Honolulu follows at 5.7.

Metros With the Lowest-Rated Elementary Schools Among Luxury Markets

The ratings cover public schools only, and many luxury buyers also weigh private options. School quality is one local factor among several and not a reliable predictor of price performance.

Methodology

All data in this report is sourced from Realtor.com® listing trends as of September 2026, reflecting active inventory of existing homes, including single-family residences, condos, townhomes, row homes and co-ops. Listings reflect only those provided by MLS platforms to Realtor.com® via a listing feed. New-construction listings are excluded unless actively listed on participating MLSs.

Luxury segmentation is based on market-specific price percentiles, with the 90th percentile representing entry-level luxury, the 95th percentile marking high-end luxury and the 99th percentile indicating ultraluxury. All calculations are based on listing prices, not final sales prices.

Metropolitan and micropolitan areas are defined using the Office of Management and Budget's OMB-2023 delineations, with Claritas 2025 household estimates used for relative comparisons. Where appropriate, analysis was limited to metros or micros with a minimum threshold of active million-dollar listings on average over the past year. Market-level analysis in this report covers the 43 metropolitan areas that averaged at least 500 million-dollar listings over the 12 months through September 2026.

School ratings are sourced from GreatSchools.org and reflect the 1 to 10 rating of the public elementary schools assigned to each listing. Homes without an assigned elementary school rating are excluded. Ratings do not reflect private schools, school choice programs or lottery-based admissions.

Historical listing trend data extends to July 2016, but year-over-year comparisons in this report use September 2025 as the baseline.

Luxury by the Numbers

90th percentile = Entry-level luxury (top 10% of prices)
