Can anyone give any input as to what is holding back the $1.0 million dollar+ market from recovering like all of the other categories? I don't see the inventory getting any lower.
Well the market is always smaller for high end properties. But there are tons of new high end properties under construction as custom builds and as spec homes. ...
Which gives me reason to believe that we are over built with high end properties..............
If what you say is true, then the luxury high end properties are soon to be over-built if they aren't already.
