Highlights from the Middlesex County Market Report, July 2023
The average Sold price has increased since last year a slight 5.6%, up about $10K from approximately $883K to $933K - continuing the trend of continually increasing home prices.
The number of new listings both on the market and sold is down significantly. This time 5 years ago there were nearly 21,000 new listings on the market year-to-date; this time 1 year ago there were over 18,000. This year year-to-date, there is roughly half the new inventory that we saw last year. Low inventory means it's a great time to sell, because there's less competition for the pool of buyers looking for a new home.
Though there was a very small decrease in the List-to-Sold Price Ratio from this time last year, homes are still selling over list price, at an average of approximately 103% of the list price.
The Absorption Rate (number of homes sold in a month divided by the number of homes on the market) is remarkably low, indicating we are still in a strong Seller's Market
