The Luxury Market

The Luxury Market Shows Life

After many years of being virtually dormant, the luxury market is showing some vigor.  This is welcome news for many high-end sellers who have been waiting years for a rebound in demand for their property.

Sales of $1,000,000-plus properties across Northern Colorado are up 32% over last year.  The Fort Collins area specifically is seeing robust sales in the high end with sales up 77% over last year.  Yes, we’ve come a long way from 2010 when there was many, many years-worth of luxury inventory on the market.

To keep things in perspective, the bulk of buyers in our market today are a long ways from buying a $1,000,000.  Close to 90% of all sales in Northern Colorado are under $500,000.  Yet, the fact that luxury sellers are having increased success is a good sign for our market.  For example, all of the $700,000-plus homes that our company has listed this year have gone under contract within 30 days (some much quicker than that).

So, a Champagne toast to the return of the luxury market!
