The lower number of sales may reflect the crazy stock market ride we have had this summer. I’m sure luxury home buyers in Douglas County Colorado were stalled from making decisions during the major market shifts of the summer.
The original asking price versus final sales price shows us sellers are slightly learning that their homes are not quite work what they are hoping for or at least buyers don’t view them as being worth what the sellers are asking.
The $20 per sqft drop is a pretty good indication that the market has softened even more. I think that’s a pretty good indicator of continued softening.
