A Glimpse Into the 2025 Report

Luxury Market Outperforms Expectations
Luxury single-family homes continue to rise above broader market trends, with prices increasing at nearly twice the rate of the overall housing sector.

A Strong Year Ahead for Buyers and Sellers
The outlook is overwhelmingly positive: 85% of Luxury Property Specialists are confident for buyers in 2025, and 74% see strength in the seller’s market as well. This confidence is mirrored locally, where demand remains steady and inventory is starting to open up.

More Listings, More Possibilities
New inventory is unlocking choice and creating fresh opportunities for buyers—especially in sought-after Boulder County neighborhoods where top-tier listings are moving quickly.

Affluent Women Are Leading the Way
The influence of high-net-worth women continues to grow, reshaping the luxury market with distinct preferences and a strong sense of purpose in their real estate decisions.

Gen X Buyers Fuel a New Era
This generation is stepping into the spotlight with a demand for flexible, multigenerational homes that accommodate evolving family structures and lifestyles.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living Still Reigns
A must-have feature for luxury buyers, especially in Colorado: the ability to move effortlessly between indoor elegance and outdoor serenity. Think terraces, fire features, al fresco kitchens, and unobstructed views.

Luxury with a Purpose
It’s no longer just about status—it’s about meaning. Today’s affluent buyers want homes that offer personal fulfillment, memorable experiences, and lasting value.

New Priorities, New Places
Tax-friendly areas, strong local economies, access to nature, and wellness-focused living are drawing attention. Boulder County continues to rank high as a destination for high-net-worth individuals seeking all of the above.

Developers Are Getting Personal
The most successful luxury developers are adapting fast—delivering custom, design-forward projects that reflect the evolving desires of today’s discerning buyer.
