Hot Properties: 4 Listings Heating up the Market This Month

As we approach the first official day of spring, Denver’s luxury real estate market is already showing its own signs of awakening. February brought a surge of activity in the $1 million–plus category, with new listings blossoming by nearly 28 percent compared to January. Luxury buyers weren’t far behind, increasing their pending purchases by almost 41 percent month-over-month, according to a report by Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR).

“Denver’s $1 million–plus market is starting off on impressively strong footing for the spring selling season,” says Michelle Schwinghammer, realtor and DMAR Market Trends Committee member. She noted a strong trend toward contingent offers and longer transactions that may “sprout in spring, or possibly even summer.” Time will tell.

These four for-sale luxury homes demonstrate the diverse architectural styles captivating Colorado buyers this spring, from a historical Victorian in Curtis Park to a whimsical mansion near Boulder Country Club.
