1436826326DENVER, CO - The number of luxury homes sold (sales over $1M) in the metro Denver market in June increased from both the prior month and June 2014, according to a report released Monday by LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. Colorado’s strong local economy combined with climbing homeowner equity, indicate a continued strong 2015 for the residential luxury market.  In metro Denver 130 homes with a price tag of more than $1M sold in June, up 23 percent from May, and 43 percent year-over-year, according to the monthly analysis based on information from REColorado.

“The summer luxury market is really heating up,” said LIV Sotheby’s International Realty president, Scott Webber. “Buyers need to know that even in the luxury market, there is ample competition that may be vying for the same property.  In order to be successful, a competitive bid needs to be strong financially, but sometimes also aggressive, and creative. For many sellers, today’s strong buyer demand is an opportunity to successfully  market a property in a luxury market that only comes around every few years.”

The average selling price stood at $1.4M in June, down 11 percent from May.
