The Washington Post: Luxury properties are recovering. The rest of the housing market? A deep and long depression: In luxury home markets, bidding wars are back and homes are selling quickly, serving as a stark contrast to everywhere else. "Luxury is the best performing segment of the housing market right now," says Stan Humphries, Zillow.com’s chief economist. Prices of $1 million-plus properties have risen 0.7 percent since February. Meanwhile, prices of homes under $1 million have fallen more than 1.5 percent, according to Zillow. A rebound in Wall Street has helped fuel a thirst again for mansions in the Hamptons and on Long Island, as well as luxury co-ops in New York City, where closings are returning to 2007 levels. Also, a tech boom is driving sales in the luxury market in Silicon Valley, where twice as many homes have sold for $5 million or more this year than the year prior.
REALTORMag: August Existing Home Sales Leap Despite Headwinds: Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 7.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.03 million in August from an upwardly revised 4.67 million in July, and are 18.6 percent higher than the 4.24 million unit level in August 2010
