“Year over year statistics for luxury condominiums show significant increases from 2014,” said Stan Kniss, a leading Broker Associate with Kentwood City Properties. “However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. While inventory levels are fairly normal, the number of transactions is down over the past three to four months. In an effort to understand why, you could point towards the downturn in the oil and gas industry or market seasonalities. Is this a lasting trend? I don’t think so. The market fundamentals are still very strong…unemployment levels, job growth, inflation, interest, etc. I suspect we’ll see strong activity into the first and second quarter of 2016.”
