Home Inventory is Down 37%

Over the past 3 months, home inventory (single-family and condos) through Massachusetts has dropped 36.6% from 15,879 total homes on market to 10,066.

What does this mean?

It means two things. First, if you've been thinking of selling, now is a great time to get your home listed for sale. In these market conditions, a good agent who properly markets your home should be able to make your home stand out among the rest. While it can't be guaranteed, the low inventory should help your chances of seeing a multiple offer scenario. > Learn about selling with us and reach out for an estimate of your home's value.Second, if you're a buyer, the market is going to be fairly competitive as new homes pop up for sale. This means that you need to set your self apart as a "strong buyer". You should have a solid pre-approval, the ability to put down a decent deposit on the home, and the flexibility to adapt to what the seller is ideally hoping for. These factors vary from home to home and seller to seller, so an experienced agent will know to ask the right questions, and will then be able to position your offer for the best chance of success. A great first step is to have a quick discussion with us about your situation. > We'd love to help find you a home!

Is condo living right for you?

While this might seem like a simple question to answer, it’s helpful to have the important factors laid out in front of you.Living Space:Typically condos are smaller in both living and storage space, which means that there’s less to clean and maintain, but it can also be limiting to certain lifestyles. (Bonus: It keeps you from saving things that aren’t worth saving!)Close Neighbors:Depending on the style of condo you buy, your neighbors will either be next to you, above you, below you, or all of the above! So if you’re someone who has a tough time getting along with others, lives a noisy lifestyle, or is looking for a great deal of privacy, then condo living may not be for you. On the other hand, you could make some great friends and there is alway someone else around to look out for anything going amiss.Outdoor Space:Much like living space, the majority of condos don’t offer much in the way of a yard. This is a nice plus from a low-maintenance / zero yard work perspective.The above points are great to get you thinking about the condo lifestyle. Also, we recommend you take the time to jot down what is important to you in your day to day living. This will go along way to helping you make the decision that’s right for you.Nearly every day we are helping someone buy or sell a condo, feel free to reach out to us with any questions about the condo lifestyle.
