Home sales so far this year are lower than they were in 2013, but there's one sliver of the housing market that's going strong: the very top of it. Sales of the priciest 1 percent of homes are up 21.1 percent so far this year, following a gain of 35.7 percent in 2013.  Meanwhile, in the other 99 percent of the market, home sales have fallen 7.6 percent in 2014.
