Another area in the luxury home market is Greenwood Village, specifically, the Preserve of Greenwood Village. This is a very prestigious high-end home, luxury home market. It boasts an average sales price over the past 15 months of about $1.5 million. It’s just slightly under that.

The good news is this area has not been affected by a lot of foreclosures. Only 5% of the sales over this time period have been foreclosure sales. The good news for buyers is that this area is down about 20% in the past year. So prices have adjusted accordingly to the market, however, there are still wonderful homes in great condition with very little foreclosure for the high-end luxury home buyer to walk into in this market and get a great deal, relatively speaking.

If you’re in the market for a high-end luxury home in one of the best locations in the Denver Metro area you can search for homes here by using www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com.  The search tool affords you a map search feature or a city feature. If you’re using the map search feature, this area is bordered by University on the west side over to Holly on the east side. From the south it starts at Orchard and goes to the north and ends at Belleview.

Out in the western suburbs of Denver is a town called Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge is located west of Denver and is bordered by Kipling on the West to about Sheridan on the East side. It goes from about 32nd Avenue on the south to I-70 on the north side. This is a great little community with a lot to offer:

• a nice little old town, downtown area right at 32nd and Wadsworth it goes over to Sheridan

• lots of little shops

• restaurants

• a point of interest is the best bike shop in Denver, which is ‘Wheatridge Cyclery’

If you’re interested in looking in Wheat Ridge, in any of these surrounding areas, you can visit www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com Search by map, using the streets I mentioned or just put in the city of ‘Wheat Ridge’ in your search criteria. Either way, there’s plenty of homes to choose from.

Wheat Ridge has an average sales price of about $249,000 and it’s only down about 10% over the past 15 months.

There’s good deals to be had, regardless of the part of town, and it’s certainly an area worth checking out.
