DEVNER’S LUXURY HOME REAL ESTATE MAR KET AT A GLANCE
Ryan Penn - 2117 S. Juniper - Page 30
Bob Adrian - Exquisite Country Estate - Page 35
A Look at the Numbers The numbers just keep getting better! Luxury home sales rose by 10.7% from the 84 sales in March, with the median sale price increasing to just under $1,300,000; a raise of 3.2 percent. Homes also sold at a much faster rate on average, and sellers received a higher percentage of their asking price. Homes sold in an average of 96 days on market, down from 122 days a year ago with sellers receiving an average of 97 percent of their asking price, up from 95 percent the previous month. As reported in the Denver Post, “The story of the luxury market – as with the overall market – comes down to inventory, and we just don’t have enough of it to meet the needs of buyers and drive sales much higher,” said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “Those homeowners who are venturing into the market are finding that they’re getting good prices and selling very quickly,” he said. Patience seems to have paid off for those who’ve postponed putting their homes on the market until this year, real estate analysts say. With the Colorado luxury home real estate market stronger than it has been in many years, now is an excellent time to sell a luxury property, and an even better time to make sure you are receiving maximum dollars in the shortest period of time. Not only will your days on market be substantially fewer in a seller’s market, but you might receive multiple offers, driving up the sales price, if you follow the advice of some of our leading REALTORS®. For your best price, and best selling experience, here are some things to consider when selling your Luxury Home:
Pick the “Best of the Best” to Represent You When starting the process of selling your luxury home, partnering with a trained, experienced, REALTOR ® specializing in the marketing of luxury properties is the single most important decision you will make. Luxury Home Magazine features the listings of some of the finest luxury Colorado | Issue 8.2

real estate professionals in Colorado. You can expect reliable, ethical support in the selling process which will ultimately provide you with maximum price and a minimum of hassles. These agents will expertly wear many hats; from marketer, to negotiator, to assisting with the financial conclusion of your sale.
Look Your Best Clean up, de-clutter and dress up. Curb appeal is the first impression your home makes to a potential buyer. Hire a landscaper to trim bushes and trees; mow and fertilize the lawn, and power-wash the front of the home and driveway. Dress up! A professional home stager can often provide a great Barb Perry - Country Club/Cherry Creek Location - Page 15 return on investment. Stagers are highly trained to reduce clutter, adjust the flow of the home, and make sure the decor appeals to a broad spectrum of buyers. The proper staging has been proven to decrease time on the market, and often increase the price of potential offers.
Good, Better, and the Best Marketing Make sure your REALTOR® distinguishes your luxury home from all others in your price range, by showcasing your property in a multitude of advertising and communication vehicles. They may have a database of potential buyers for your home, and likely will do some appropriate newspaper or circular advertising. But luxury homes need to be marketed in luxurious mediums to create maximum price-value. Luxury Home Magazine is the nation’s largest network of luxury real estate publications. The “Coffee Table Magazine,” coupled with a digital edition, exceptional website, and the best social media program in real estate; makes it the best multi-level marketing campaign to provide maximum exposure and exceptional presentation of your luxury home.
The Best Price Is the Right Price Sure, it is once again (and perhaps only briefly) a sellers’ market. But listen to your agent when they remind you to price smart to price right. Pricing too high, with the thought that you can always come down is usually not your best pricing strategy. Though there may be many buyers looking for the perfect luxury home, being overpriced will often turn away prospective buyers, and subsequent “new lower price” reductions tend to draw suspicion as to the real value of the home. Your luxury real estate specialist can help you to price to market. If you set the price at fair market value, this will attract more buyers, often times creating a bidding war by buyers bidding over the asking price, bringing those top dollars from a sellers’ market.
And Best of All... Selling your luxury home in a seller’s market can be smooth, quick, and rewarding. This is not a market that you want to navigate without partnering with the best: real estate company, agent, and a marketing team such as Luxury Home Magazine of Colorado, to achieve the best selling success. Material in this article was obtained from the Denver Post, Denver Business Journal, Kentwood Real Estate Report, and interviews with various luxury real estate agents.
