Home Sales: Happy Days Are Here Again

The outlook for the spring market looks bright with three huge home sales this week. Two renovated homes and a new home sold in the $6 million range, prices we haven't seen in recent years. Though some feared the new tax code could depress real estate values, it appears that, at least on the high end, it's a market booster. What do you think is driving the luxury home market?
