  • Sales in the luxury niche market have slowed substantially, however, as closings in Q3/2009 are off nearly 55% from the same quarter two years earlier.
  • Falling sales activity may prompt luxury sellers to lower their prices, eventually driving down values, which are off recent highs by 16.4% market-wide on a two-year trend.
