Eileen, I bet you see 50% or more of your transactions as cash.

Barbara, it does seem very consistent the last few months.    Looking forward to the month of 50+!

Hi Joan, glad to see such a strong market for luxury homes in Denver. It's interesting that for our next Parade of Homes the focus is on two segments, the luxury home market and the "green and affordability" segment. I think it's an interesting combination and quite telling.

Hi Joan, sales of luxury homes are still going strong.  We've encountered a slight dip in sales in January as well only to see it increase again in February, must have been the holidays.  Joan Cox is definitely the one to call for luxury homes in the Denver area!

Great market report Joan.  I'd love to see that $3.4 million dollar home.  Boise isn't big enough (nor do we have the economy) to support 24 $1Mil+ homes.  That market stays on the market for a long time in my parts. It does look like that market has stayed pretty consistent in your area over the last year, with summer months spiked upa  bit.  I hope 2012 continues to get better and better in your market and mine! -Kasey

Joan - Your list price vs sold price is holding well and so is your averages now if you could just get the days on the market down and the number of sales back up.

Great report Joan!  Boy would I love to see the Cherry Hills Village house.  Your middle picture with the dual staircase reminds me of a model that Toll Brothers builds here in our area. It is just beautful!

Joan-

Amazing presentation on luxury homes in the Denver area.  I'm still amazed at how many of these purchases are cash sales.  Very interesting times.  Thanks for sharing this information!

Our luxury market has been very stable, and with spring hopefully in the near future, this should again spike sales in this sector!
