RESIDENTIAL LUXURY REPORT |

Mid-Year 2018

RESIDENTIAL LUXURY REPORT introduction As the Colorado luxury real estate market continues to evolve, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty remains committed to helping consumers make sound financial decisions for purchasing or selling a luxury home.

To clearly outline the performance of the luxury real estate market in Colorado, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty produces a quarterly Residential Luxury Report, which compares January through June 2018 statistics to those of 2017 for single family homes and condos priced $1 million and above. The report analyzes luxury sales by county, including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties of Denver Metro, and the resort communities of Eagle County (Vail Valley, Avon, Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, etc.) and Summit County (Breckenridge, Frisco, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Silverthorne, etc.).

In addition to the analysis of local, county-wide luxury market data, the report also includes statistics on emerging luxury consumers’ lifestyle preferences and purchasing confidence from around the world. *Enjoy a full analysis of the performance of the resort luxury market, located at the end of the report.

Continuing to prove as a strong economic market, the Denver Metro (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson), including Boulder, is poised for a promising fall season for luxury real estate. Single family homes and condos priced $1 million and above in this luxury sector are projected to demonstrate continued growth throughout Quarter 3 of 2018. Buyers and sellers alike sustain confidence in Colorado’s economy, creating a rise in the market’s performance.

The January through June 2018 Denver Metro and Boulder luxury real estate market delivered excellent results, with a considerable increase of 24.9% of the number of properties sold. In addition, the total dollar volume increased an outstanding 28.5% year-over-year. Unemployment rate remains low, 3.2% for Denver and 2.4% for Boulder, providing more individuals with the opportunity to invest in real estate as consumer confidence continues to trend upward.

Buyers must be prepared to act quickly, with the average days on market currently at an all-time low at just under three months (88 days), dropping 28.7% from 2017.

Interesting to note in the luxury sector, mid-year numbers for 2018 indicate significant growth of price appreciation for properties under $1 million (30% increase for homes priced between $750K-$999K), while properties over $1 million remain steady at an average price appreciation of only 2.6%. These flat prices provide luxury buyers with a motivating and unique opportunity.
