We’re seeing a shift from simply asking “What does this home have?” to asking “How does this home make me feel and how does it support the life I want to live?”

Natural light. Clean air and water. Quiet spaces. Connection to nature. Spaces for movement, recovery, rest and gathering. Thoughtful design that supports healthy habits without feeling clinical.

According to Realtor.com, wellness real estate reached an estimated $876 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030.

I think this is much more than a trend. As buyers think more intentionally about longevity, aging well and quality of life, the home itself is becoming part of the wellness equation.

Luxury isn’t just about bigger, newer or more expensive anymore. Luxury is increasingly about creating a life that feels better.

What do you think…would wellness-focused features influence your next home purchase?

Wellness real estate is now the fastest-growing segment of the $7 trillion wellness industry, on track to hit $1.8 trillion by 2030. For 60% of homeowners, it's now the No. 1 reason to buy, ahead of saving money or energy efficiency.

The housing market isn’t frozen. Buyers are adapting.

This is an interesting perspective from Lawrence Yun and the latest existing-home sales data.

Despite elevated mortgage rates, buyers are beginning to recognize that waiting indefinitely for rates to fall may come with its own risk, particularly if lower rates eventually bring more buyers back into the market and competition increases.

At the same time, sellers are having to adjust to a very different environment than we saw a few years ago.

The “lock-in effect” is real, but it doesn’t mean homeowners will stay put forever. Life changes. People move for jobs, downsizing, upsizing, divorce, retirement, family, and eventually, many homeowners will have to make a move regardless of the rate on their current mortgage.

What we’re seeing is a market that is recalibrating rather than collapsing.

For buyers, there are opportunities today that may not exist if competition increases.

For sellers, pricing and strategy matter more than ever.

And for both, the question may be less about “When will rates come down?” and more about “What makes sense for me in today’s market?”

After nearly 16 years in real estate, one thing I’ve learned is that markets rarely wait for everyone to feel comfortable before they move.

The market is moving. It just looks different than it used to. Contact me 303.241.3000

Why eager buyers are no longer waiting on lower mortgage rates — and where the market goes from here.

The top home sale in the Denver metro for July was $7.1 million.

And once again, Cherry Hills Village is at the top of the list.

The July numbers are interesting because there were several significant sales across the metro, but this one came in at the top.

Luxury real estate is a very different market than the broader market, and I always find it interesting to see which homes are moving, where they’re selling and what buyers are willing to pay for them.

Cherry Hills continues to be one of the most established luxury markets in the Denver area, and this is another good example of that.

$7.1 million. Cherry Hills Village. July 2026.

Just another interesting snapshot of what’s happening in Denver real estate.

A million-dollar home isn’t what it used to be.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, homes valued at $1 million or more have grown from just 2% of owner-occupied homes in 2005 to 8% in 2024. That’s a remarkable shift and a powerful reminder of how much the housing market has evolved.

For many buyers, a $1 million price tag no longer means a sprawling estate or mansion. In many markets, it simply reflects today’s home values after years of appreciation, limited inventory, inflation, and strong demand.

As someone who works in Colorado’s luxury market, I see this every day. Luxury real estate isn’t defined by price alone. It’s about lifestyle, location, quality, design, and long-term value.

The market continues to evolve, and understanding these trends helps buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

What do you think? Does a $1 million home still feel like a mansion, or has that definition changed?
