Joan, a great luxury Denver market report and as usual your market is popping still...i am surprised that your mls lets you use pictures you do not take.  We are penalized if we do...i need to connect with you on this one.  Did you sell the luxury home at open house?!

The luxury market is slowing a bit, but so is the lower end priced homes, as this time of year is seasonally slower.    Many luxury homes are showing U/C and will close in August!
