Why do luxury condos take longer?
- Buyers weigh the building: reserves, common areas and deferred maintenance.
- Dues change the math. A Four Seasons Residences sale closed after 326 days, with HOA dues of $6,628 a month (DMAR, August 2026).
How much luxury inventory is there?

- $2M+ homes had 4.97 months (DMAR, December 2025).
- DMAR calls 4 to 6 months a balanced market.
What speeds up a sale?
- Price to recent sales from day one. The first two weeks draw the most showings.
- A pre-listing inspection so buyers see no surprises. Professional photos, video and a floor plan.
- Main-floor living and move-in condition. Buyers pay for both.
- A clean, depersonalized interior for photos and showings.
How long from list to close?
- Days in the MLS, plus the contract-to-close period set in your contract.
- A cash buyer shortens the close. A loan adds appraisal and underwriting time.
- Colorado contracts set every deadline by date, so you know the closing date on day one.
Should I price high and reduce later?
- No. Days in the MLS show on every listing, and long days invite low offers.
- A reduction after 30 days tells buyers the first price was wrong.
- Price to the recent sales in your Smart Pricing Report from day one.
