The report is based on multiple listing service data. That number represented a 31 percent hike from the 71 sold in March.

“The luxury housing market in the Denver metro area, much like the overall market, remains red hot as these numbers indicate,” said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Colorado. “The market continues to be driven by a large number of qualified and determined home buyers who want to purchase while interest rates are still low and home values are still quite attractive.”

While the number of sales increased, the median sales price for luxury homes dropped 8.8 percent year over year to $1.27 million. That median was basically flat from March.

There were 13 sales of homes for more than $2 million in April, up both from the previous month and April 2012, when 10 of those homes sold.

The sales are going faster, too. The average days on the market number was 120.7 days, down from the 133-day average in March and the 172.6-day average from April 2012.
