Fall market continues to be a story of limited inventory affecting prices and availability. The market is still moving quickly – homes go from listed to under agreement in around 30 days in Westford and Lincoln. Average list price and sold price was up in 5 out of 7 of our core towns - and by 42% in Concord. Days on market were also down by more than 40% in Acton and Lincoln. Sale price outpaced list price again this month, by an average of 5% in Acton and Concord. But things have improved for buyers since last fall – the total market volume is up overall and by almost 80% in Lexington. And on market listings as of Nov 1st are up by more than 30% from last year in Acton and Winchester. So compared to last year, there are more homes on the market and available to buy. However, a year of low availability means there are still more buyers than homes for sale, which is keeping prices up and leading to shorter days on market overall.
