In the luxury market, with 22 sales over $1 million, the hot market continued to be between $1 – 1.4 million.  The biggest drop off was seen at the top end with only one sale between $3 -5 million.

The luxury market realized a 24% decrease in the average sale price of homes in the first quarter, although the average sale price per square foot was only off by $10 or 3%.  This is partly a reflection in the size of homes sold, which averaged 1,300 square feet less than the previous year’s first quarter.

Luxury properties tend to take longer to sell.  Notice the difference in the average days on market of homes over $1 million – almost twice as long as the homes under $1 million in 2015.
