Metro Denver Area Luxury Market Update

The Luxury Market is starting off the year with a bang fueled by lower interest rates, low inventory and strong buyer demand.

Many buyers are out looking and buying now in anticipation of interest rates going even lower as the year progresses which could drive prices and competition for good properties even higher.

The average price of a luxury property has increased 2.32% in January and the total number of sales are up 6.15%. While days on the market for some homes is longer, primarily due to some sellers being to aggressive on pricing with properties that need updating, as always, good properties with updating completed in desirable neighborhoods are going under contract in only a few days.

As is always the case pricing is key for Sellers wanting to take advantage of what is seemingly a slight seller’s market.

For buyers, now is a great time to be out looking and purchasing before the spring/summer buying season ramps up. This seasonal surge in buying combined with possible lower interest rates could send the market into a much more competitive situation, so now is a good time to purchase and avoid some of the competition, and refinance down the road if the opportunity presents itself.
