A Luxury Home can be identified differently in cities across the country, but in Denver, my Luxury blog posts will report on detached single-family homes listed in the Denver metro area over $1 million. Some have mountain (snow-capped now) and/or city views, some back to a golf course or have water views all to compliment one's lifestyle. (however, we don't have much water) Some are updated with products from around the world, and some have expansive square footage or on acreage. Whatever a Buyer is looking for, most likely if you have over $1 million, you can find it in Denver or in the surrounding suburbs.
With the current Coronavirus, Colorado has a "Stay at Home" order, and many homeowners are not allowing showings at this time. Some are vacant and will allow them, and I can check this out for you if you find a home you are interested in.
Here is how the luxury market fared for the month of February 2020 -
Total sales - 108 homes ranging from $1,000,000 to $6,620,000 (last month was 86 homes)
Average Days on Market - 64 days (increased from 85 days last month)
Average price per SF (Total) - $295.35 (last month was $258.22)
These homes were built from 1905 to 2020
The highest-priced home sold was $6,620,000 in the Denver Metro and is in Cherry Hills Village. This stunning home was built in 2009, on pristine grounds of 2.39 acres with a 13-car garage. This home has 8 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and 19,864 total finished square feet. this home was on the market for only 178 days.
There were no short sales sold, and no bank foreclosures sold this month.
I was predicting an interesting year of sales with the election in November, but had no idea we would be facing this pandemic right now and affecting not only our real estate sales, but our entire economy. Sales were very strong and definitely seeing an early spring buying season. Hopefully, after this virus passes, hope to see our market bounce back! With what the stock market was doing, those buyers paying cash may have thought twice about removing monies from investments.
