I mentioned in a previous post that Naperville's Luxury Home Market has actually increased in volume over the last year... bucking all current trends. With sales up over 28% for the year, there are still a lot of fantastic homes to be had at advantageous terms. Great opportunities are there for buyers... but the stats say the the Sellers with the properly staged and marketed homes are going to get them sold.

I am attaching a couple of graphs to illustrate these points. It is important to note that many of the "Active Listings"  are not yet built, but are being marketed on the "wish and a dream" plan (The builders wish you had a dream for that lot) this skews the statistics to a large degree... so the MSI (Months Supply of Inventory) looks abysmal, but is, in fact part of a thriving and exciting market. Also keep in mind that this maps out MSI over a two year period, sales in Naperville for luxury homes have been on the upswing, so MSI based on today's 12 month market numbers would put the Months Supply of Inventory at 28.5 months

Maybe you could do a pullout chart, with a big red arrow, illustrating the difference in the luxury market from the general market.

curious-do you build these yourself or have someone else (like an assistant) do it?  have you taken the CLHMS class?  Laurie Moore Moore has some great info about price bands that would fit nicely with your inventory charts.

Nice work.  Plus I also like the expression "wish and a dream" plan.  Sounds much better than our "to be built".

Angus - Hear in the Phoenix Metro Area we have had two $850-900K listings in the last 4 months that sold within 10-20 days.  Seems like the higher tiers are not affected as much?!

Suzanne - That's interesting. I'm thinking that if you have the money, you are not so motivated/un-motivated by fear. Thanks for sharing!
