Take Away: Spring 2016 Market Trends on Luxury Real Estate Sales
The market for properties $3M and up has slowed down from New York to Cairo.
Preditictions are for a flat slow year 2016 with people seeing how the Market reacts, what happens to oil prices and who wins the election. 2017 will begin a new phase for high end real estate and should pick up a little. Everyone selling high end appears to be in agreement and is singing from this same hymn book.
April 2016 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot was released May 6, 2016inCurrent Reports. The Monthly Snapshots are posted on or near the 1st Monday of the montH – the May Snapshot will be posted late week of June 1st.
Excerptfrom the April 2016 Aspen Snowmass Real Estate Market Snapshot:
“Bottom line:The Aspen Snowmass real estate market continued its significant retreat this year from a sizzling 2015. For the total combined marketplace. April 2016 had the poorest April sales activity in the past eight years since April 2009. The Aspen market alone is off 44%-61% year-to-date and in specific property categories and neighborhoods the decline is more. This is even though April is typically one of the highest performing months of the year as buyers close on property placed under contract during the ski season.”
