Creative thinkers and homebuyers alike are flocking to Aspen for its mix of culture, recreation and environment.

“We are seeing an influx of high-end buyers finding exclusive properties in luxury markets such as Aspen,” said Betty Graham, president of Coldwell Banker Previews International NRT. “The Colorado resort town has been known as a vacation destination during the winter months, but is becoming the permanent residence for affluent buyers seeking its unique lifestyle of culture and arts. The Aspen real estate market has also matured, ranking No. 4 in the United States for closed units over $10 million from for the last 12 months ending June 30, 2013.”
“New York City remains a dominant player in the luxury housing arena and today is being impacted by an infusion of affluent foreigners who recognize the benefits of the stable U.S. economy while also enjoying the status symbol and lifestyle New York offers,” said Budge Huskey, president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “Many plan to hold these properties for the foreseeable future. Interestingly, the high end is mirroring all facets of the city’s housing spectrum with low inventory creating a seller’s market.”

Methodology
Manhattan area data has been gathered from StreetEasy.com, an on line consumer and private industry portal which reports closed real estate transactions from the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), as well as other reporting brokerage resources. All other data has been gathered from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) databases known or believed to be the primary real estate broker cooperative resources for each market referenced in the report. All closed sales activity reported is for the annual period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Closed sales reported to the MLSs significantly later than this analysis period were not included. All active and pending status listing records were downloaded and processed to the same standards, and on various dates, during the months of July and August, 2013. Property-specific listing and sales records were standardized to USPS address city and zip code, inaccurate list and sale prices were corrected when necessary, and all duplicate records were manually excluded.
