Luxury can have different meanings in different parts of the Country, but in Denver my Luxury blog posts are for those detached single family homes listed in the Denver metro area over $1 million.   Some have mountain and/or city views, some back to a golf course or have water views.    Some are upgraded with products from 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.   Here is some information from the home sales in 2017.

 

Total number of sales - 1,332 homes (2016 saw 1,088)

Days on Market - 40 days (2016 saw 50 days)

Average Sales price was $1,297,500  (2016 saw $1,300,000)

Sellers saw 97.10% from list price to sales price (2016 saw 97.03%)

Joan, the luxury market in Denver is strong, impressive figures for these price points. The largest home with over 22,000 square feet would need a full time staff. Wow!

HI Joan Cox - Very nice job explaining all the details of your luxury market. It always amazes me at the amount of homes available in the Denver Metro area. Sedona Luxury market currently has about 82 homes available. Big difference!

Hi Joan: I just could not imagine a home at 22,000 square feet. That's the size of an industrial building, LOL. I once owned a home that was 8,600 square feet and I had actually considered putting in one of those moving walkways like from the Jetsons.

Sally, I think in many markets, $500K is luxury.
