1st & 3rd Weeks

Reaches highest level in nearly 2 years

L uxury home sales in Denver metro area last month rose to their highest level in near-ly two years as the region’s

housing market continued to show signs of improvement, according to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Colorado’s leading pro-vider of luxury real estate services.

A total of 67 homes sold for more than $1 million in June, up 22 percent from May and 3 percent from a year ago when 55 and 65 properties sold, respectively. It was the highest level for luxury sales since 89 properties changed hands in August 2008.

The median sale price of mil-lion-dollar homes in June was $1.34 million, up 4.7 percent from May’s $1.28 million median, but down 2.8 percent from the median a year ago of $1.38 million. Home sellers received an average of 90 percent of their asking price, down from 93 percent in May but up from 87 percent last year.

The figures were derived from Multiple Listing Service data of all homes sold for more than $1 mil-lion in the Denver metro area.

“The latest figures show that the high-end market in the Denver metro area continues to stabilize and improve,” said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Colorado. “With interest rates at historic lows and sellers pricing their homes very competitively, buyers have responded.”

Mygatt cautioned that some of the sales could be related to the fed-eral tax credit, which required buy-ers to be under contract by April 30 and close by June 30. Closed sales in June reflect transactions that were typically initiated a month or two before. With the credit expir-ing, the housing market could see a drop-off in the coming months, he said.

“Between the expiration of the federal tax credit and the normal slowdown during the summer as people leave for vacations, it’s pos-sible that the market may pause to catch its breath,” he said. “But I’m

encouraged by the progress we’ve made so far this year, especially considering where we were just a little over a year ago.”

Some key findings from this month’s Coldwell Banker Residen-tial Brokerage luxury report:• The most expensive sale in the

Denver metro area in June was a six-bedroom, five-bath 7,403-square-foot home in Den-ver that sold for $3.95 million.

• Denver boasted the most million-dollar sales with 17, followed by Boulder with 13, Castle Rock with seven, Cherry Hills with six and Greenwood Village with five.

• It took an average of 115 days to sell a million-dollar home in the region, down from 122 days the previous month but up from 103 days a year ago.
