Charlton, MA Housing Market Statistics Overview
The market in Charlton looks about the same, it hasn't changed significantly since the last report. The market time of solds is solid, if not stunning. The HSI moved a shade up, but I think the falling $/sq foot metric shows that buyers are in no hurry, and still looking for deals. Conversely, it could be that buyers are taking on more "risk", and buying properties that need work at a discount. Overall, expect some sellers with A condition properties and good locations to have a fair amount of leverage.

The bank-impacted inventory looks the same, it's basically flat as we're seeing across all the towns at this point. No shadow inventory flooding the market, but there's still too many foreclosures and short-sales to put a firm floor on prices that we can move up from in Charlton.
