Who's Buying luxury homes?
"The demand for luxury homes continues to be fueled by baby boomers who
remain in their prime home buying years," says Jim Gillespie, president
and chief executive officer, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation.
"This group has amassed great wealth through investments, inheritances
and equity and appreciation of their homes. Their strong buying power,
coupled with the historically low mortgage interest rates we have
enjoyed over the last few years, have spurred the luxury home buying
segment, which also includes second homes and new construction." (luxury
home survey)
In this release, the Coldwell Banker organization highlights its top
luxury home markets by state and city, and includes a list of its top 50
transactions nationwide. The data provided represents only Coldwell
