“Inventory remains low, prices continue to creep up and buyers are rebelling,” reports Linda O’Koniewski, CEO of RE/MAX Leading Edge, “Buyers frustrated by competition and high prices are taking a step back and beginning a 'wait and see' approach.  Our agents, who’ve been used to 8, 10 and 12 offers are now seeing a significant decrease in the number of offers on their properties.  The high-end market especially has slowed significantly.  I expect the market will begin to normalize in the weeks and months ahead.”

 

September sales of combined condo and single-family homes in Massachusetts decreased -10.8% year-over-year.  Inventory remains down -20.2% and the number of days on market is also down -20%.  Median sale prices remain up +7.9% at $374,000 while pending sales are up +9.7%.
