Real Estate Recap: 2020 in Review
2020 was an unusual year to say the least! When it comes to real estate, we are officially in the middle of one of the strongest seller’s markets we’ve seen in years. Let’s take a look at the stats to see what that meant for the market in 2020 and where it leaves us now.
Covid took an already competitive market and pushed it further than we could’ve ever imagined thanks to an increase in buyer demand and a decrease in inventory and interest rates. When the lockdown began, many listings were pulled off the market or delayed, all while everyone was spending more time in their homes than ever before. With no where to spend their money, many people started thinking about renovating their current home or perhaps upgrading to a new one. Add them on top of the already massive subset of buyers who were ready to buy their first house (even more so now that they felt trapped in their current living situation) and you end up with a historic amount of buyers waiting to enter the market.
Finally, restrictions eased up and homes started hitting the market, but there just weren’t enough to satisfy the demand. Homes were selling left and right, often for way over asking price as buyers found themselves in bidding wars for a place to live. Let’s take a look at some of 2020’s stats to see what that really meant for the housing market:
2020 Housing Market Stats
These stats focus on the towns we are most familiar with:
Attleboro, Canton, Easton, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, Norfolk, N. Attleboro, Norton, Plainville, Sharon, Stoughton & Wrentham
Single-family Homes
2020
Total Homes Sold: 2877
Average Days on Market: 44
Average Sale Price: $522,390
Sale Price to List Price Ratio: 101%
2019
Total Homes Sold: 2824
Average Days on Market: 56
Average Sale Price: $485,910
Sale Price to List Price Ratio: 99%
Condos
2020
Total Condos Sold: 1001
Average Days on Market: 47
Average Sale Price: $348,956
Sale Price to List Price Ratio: 101%
2019
Total Condos Sold: 927
Average Days on Market: 56
Average Sale Price: $309,347
Sale Price to List Price Ratio: 100%
The stats are a little surprising! Anecdotally, it felt like there were far less homes on the market last year than in 2019, but that wasn’t true. There were actually more homes sold in 2020, they just were on the market less time with a majority of them selling after their first showings or open house.
Price-wise, Massachusetts already high real estate values went even higher. Single-family homes and condos both saw about a 10% jump in values! On top of that, the average sale was closing for 101% of the list price (asking price). There were a lot of happy sellers out there!
Where do we stand now?
The market is still strong in the seller’s favor. In fact, inventory is lower than before thanks it being mid-winter. If you’re thinking about selling, now is a great time to learn what your home is worth. But keep in mind, getting a lot of money for your house is only part of the equation. You need to consider where you will go from there. May we suggest: Should you sell in a seller’s market?
You deserve a better real estate experience.
Should you sell in a seller's market?
We’re in one of the strongest seller’s markets in recent history and you’re thinking about selling your home because it’s appreciated in value quite a bit. Does it make sense? For some people it does and for others it doesn’t, let’s think it through…
Why do you want to sell?
My house is worth a lot and I’d like to cash in on that.
Your house is suddenly worth a lot of money, that’s great and all, but we do suggest that people don’t look at their primary residence as an investment. You’ll always need a place to live and if you sell in a seller’s market you’ll have to buy in a seller’s market. If you really want access to your equity think about what you’d use that money for. In many cases refinancing or utilizing a home equity loan is actually a better decision.
We’ve been wanting to upgrade our home or change towns and we want to sell while the value is high.
Well you can’t argue with that… So what now? You’re going to sell while values are high, but unfortunately that means you’ll have to buy high too. Can you avoid this?
Sometimes you can! Here are a few ways to sell high and avoid buying high so that you can save some of those profits:
Move to a lower cost of living area.
Planning to move out of state or to a different town? If the area has a lower cost of living than where you live currently then the decision is to sell is an easy one.
Downsize your home.
If you’re planning to downsize, that also makes the decision pretty easy. In this situation it’s likely that you’ll be able to purchase a new home and still save a good amount of the profits from your sale.
Find temporary housing.
If you’re looking to stay in the same area then you’ll need to wait for the market to cool down a bit. It’s hard to say when that will happen so now it’s you vs the clock. Do you have somewhere you can live in the meantime? Perhaps your family has an in-law apartment or maybe you sign a cheap lease for a year while you wait to see what the market does. Just make sure that your temporary housing costs don’t eat into your profits too much.
Say “heck it” and upgrade!
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to cash out your equity and use it all to upgrade your living situation. In fact, that is a great use of your home’s equity provided you can find a home that’s right for you. Keep in mind though, in a competitive market there’s a good chance you may have to win a bidding war. So take a look at your finances carefully to make sure that you don’t end up being forced to make a lateral move.
It can be a lot to think about so we’re here to help you weigh your options. Buying and selling real estate doesn’t have to be a stressful experience, in fact we work hard to make sure it’s as simple, stress free, and rewarding as possible.
