2018 Year End Luxury Report

RESIDENTIAL LUXURY REPORT |

2018 Year in Review

RESIDENTIAL LUXURY REPORT introduction The luxury real estate market in Colorado continues to evolve, especially with an increased demand in new buyers flocking to Denver Metro, Boulder, and the resort communities. Understanding the luxury real estate market is a critical key to success for both buyers and sellers, which is why LIV Sotheby’s International Realty compiles a Luxury Report to help consumers make sound financial decisions.

The 2018 Year-End Luxury Report compares 2018 to 2017 statistics, for single family homes and condos priced $1,000,000 and above. Luxury sales are analyzed 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, this report also includes statistics on emerging luxury consumers’ lifestyle preferences and purchasing confidence from around the world. *Enjoy an analysis of the resort luxury market, located at the end of this report.

Denver Metro (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson), including Boulder, attracts buyers from all over the world with the panoramic mountain views, a strong economy, trendy restaurants, and a heart for innovation.

The Year-End Luxury Report by LIV Sotheby’s International Realty shows notable growth comparing 2018 to 2017 for single family homes and condos listed above $1,000,000. The number of properties sold increased by an outstanding 17.6% from 1,966 in 2017 to 2,312 homes sold in 2018. Average days on market dropped a remarkable 23.5% from 115 days in 2017 to just 88 days in 2018. In addition, total dollar volume increased a remarkable 39.8% compared to 2017.

An increase in homes sold, plus an increase in total dollar volume, combined with a decrease in days on market reveal an evident increase in demand for luxury homes in Denver Metro and Boulder. With an increase in demand, many listings and new developments are focusing on a luxury driven lifestyle. This includes high-end amenities, energy saving features, smart homes, and the ability to live the city life without sacrificing space and privacy.
