Bain Real Estate 2019 November Mudge Pond Market Report.

Dear Neighbor,

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MAP

The market is healthy and vibrant, depending on how your house is priced! Yes, sales are up from 10 years ago in the midst of the Great Recession when we saw only 20 sales.  There were 49 sales that have transpired in the last 12 months. The average day on market is also lower than those trying to sell in 2009.

That said, the average buyer's motivation to purchase is mercurial. Why? Take your pick-the economy, millennial attitudes, or an older housing stock? It matters little. What matters is pricing your house properly to find a buyer.

In fact, in 2009 of the 20 houses that sold 14 of them had at least one significant price reduction and only 6 houses sold without reducing their price prior to selling. Then the average sales price on 20 transactions was $700,000. And the number of days on the market average was 174 days.

In the last twelve months, however, 49 houses have sold with 24 homes reducing their price at least once before selling and 22 closed for their initial asking price.  The average sales price was $500,000 from 49 sales. The average it took to sell these homes dropped to 154 days on market.

This positive upward trend over the last 10 years seems to indicate+ that sellers have reacted well to pricing their homes appropriately as demanded by the market.  And the results in your neighborhood are as follows.
