The Upton Homes For Sale Market Report

After a surprising price stall as part of last year, Upton buyers are rushing in and pushing up prices in Upton, one of the best values around.  Prices have moved sharply higher, and sellers have kept pace with asking prices, showing more optimism.  Not much inventory means things could move quickly, and further up.

What should active home buyers do in Upton ?

Active home buyers still have some choices, and the market isn't moving as fast as some others, but watch the prices - things are moving up fast.  The home sellers aren't being shy either - with prices moving up just as fast.  Like Northbridge, there's new construction in Upton, that usually adds some time to the market data, making it look slower than it is.

The Southborough Homes For Sale Market Report

For whatever reason, the prices buyers are paying in Southborough has remained markedly steady over the last few quarters.  After a sprout of optimism late last year, seller have come down to meet the market, and have stayed there.

Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .

I would think that this means Southborough is due to go on a little run, and with so little inventory kicking around, it may.  Also, rising prices in Northborough, Westborough and Hopkinton are going to put pressure on the Southborough, and that's bad for buyers in the future.

 

What should active home buyers do in Southborough ?

Right now, things are stable for buyers, and if the next leg is up, home buyers should keep a close eye on the town.  Things may look expensive, but I think Southborough is headed up next year, so that bodes well.  Sellers have not been on the market very long, and they aren't collectively asking too much, so  buyers can be aggressive here.

What should potential home sellers do in Southborough ?

Home sellers should be wary of stretching the market this fall.  Although inventory is thin, you'll need the right house to do that strategy.  Buyers are currently price sensitive here, and so reaching just means you'll turn away some of your best prospects, and prolong a marketing cycle when you don't need to.

The Shrewsbury Homes For Sale Market Report

Shrewsbury home sellers came down to meet the market  - some more forcibly than others - as there were a lot of appraisal issues this spring in Shrewsbury.  Demand was strong, but rational - as buyers demanded fair prices for properties with problems.  Right now, buyers and sellers remain close in expectations, and inventory is starting to move off the lows.

Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .

What should active home buyers do in Shrewsbury?

Active home buyers are going to find a competitive market, where the best properties sell quickly and there are often multiple bidders.  Properties with lot issues, or condition issues are not moving as quickly.  The market is very good though, and buyers need to make decisions fast, and be aware of the price levels in their segment.

What should potential home sellers do in Shrewsbury ?

Home sellers don't have to work hard for a lot of traffic.  If they reach too far above established price levels, they will find a sharp drop off in activity - and may find price changes are needed sooner rather than later.  Currently, home sellers have been on an average of 121 days - a long time in a hot market - showing that the sellers that have not sold are pretty stubborn, and are choosing to wait for the market to come up, instead of moving prices down to where the buyers want to be.

The Northbridge Homes For Sale Market Report

Northbridge is seeing some real price appreciation, as the market tightens.  Although as always, there's a lot of new construction mixed in the data, we're seeing prices start to move upward, and sellers are holding steady right above the market.

Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .

What should active home buyers do in Northbridge ?

Home buyers will find a market that has some choices - but not many.  Inventory has been cut in half since we started tracking, and the builders no longer have huge surpluses  - and little standing inventory.  All in all, it's certainly not the toughest town to find a home, but it has gotten tougher.

What should potential home sellers do in Northbridge ?

Home sellers should make sure their property is looking it's best.  There's still enough competition that not everything is selling.  Houses in tougher locations or poor floor plans will need to really go the extra mile to make sure they can move quickly in this market.  Homes that are outside the new construction price ranges will see a little more urgency - as there are fewer choices for home buyers.

What you should Know Before Making an Offer on that Condominium.

Here's my top 10 list for what you should know when researching condos.

The fee isn't all bad! Here's what you might get:

I know, I know, everyone hates condo fees.  But much of the fee often goes to things that you might have to pay anyway, or go to amenities that everyone can share on group savings discount.  Usually less than 10% of the fee goes to overhead  - and the rest goes to the complex.  For example, a typical fee might be $300 a month - or $3600 a year. Where might that $3600 go? Let's see.

Landscaping: $250

Plowing: $250

Insurance: $300

Trash: $300

Water/sewer: $1200

Capital Reserve (future expenses, roof, etc.) : $400

Right there, you've got about $2700 of expenses, most of which you've either got to do or purchase yourself if you have a single family home.  Trust me, a snow blower ($900) and lawnmower ($400) and home owners insurance take a bite too, and you've still gotta do the work!  So there are advantages to having condo fees - they aren't all bad.

Don't assume You Know what the fee covers.

Not all fees are the same - I laid out a typical fee structure, but there is no typical fee structure!  All condos are different, and you should know what your fee covers.  Sometimes they cover heat and hot water, and sometimes they cover very little.  So check!  Every time.

Investors sometimes can't purchase no matter the price

Many investors look at condos to get something started.  But in a lot of the more inexpensive complexes, the "investor ratio" is at maximum.  Many condo associations limit how many tenants can be in the complex at one time, and once that maximum is reached, there will be no new investor purchases.

Rules and Regulations can vary widely - and don't violate the pet policy!

Rules and Regulations can be very strict - or very loose - but review these to make sure you and the association aren't going to get into disagreements. While most rules are only loosely enforced, the association can decide to enforce them at their leisure - and it can get expensive quick.  Pet policies should be confirmed before the purchase of any pet - in case their were changes that were not well explained or communicated.  Ask first!  Smaller associations will occasionally make exceptions in writing, if permissible, and everyone is friendly.  Stay friendly!

Ask about Special Assessments - And look for warning signs!

Special Assessments are big fees that unit owners have to pay, usually because the capital reserve fund isn't big enough for whatever renovation they need to do.  Complexes are supposed to collect part of the fee so that when decks and roofs needs to be re-done, they don't have to borrow money.  But many complexes underestimate the costs of these improvements, and need to ask for more money from the unit owners.  So check the roofs and windows, decks and driveways to see if big expenses are coming due - and make sure the capital reserve fund will cover them.

A Duplex is not a condo - neither are single family attached homes!

A duplex is most often properly called a single family attached home.  With no fee, and no condo master deed or trust, these homes look like condos, but are not.  Like condos though, they share things - typically roofs and lots - so they require their own research.  

A townhouse is a style of home, which may or may not be a condo.

A townhouse is a unit style, where the bedrooms are on the top floor, and the living area is on the main level.  This is opposed to a "garden" or "flat" style, where they are all on one level.  But you can buy a condos of either type, so telling someone you want a townhome is a restriction that you may not mean to communicate. 

Foreclosed condos may not pay their 6D's at auction

Be careful if purchasing a condo at auction.  Just as in single family auctions, where the taxes may not be paid, on condos many banks do not get a 6D, which is proof that all the condo fees have been paid.  If the previous owner wasn't paying his mortgage, he probably wasn't paying his condo fees either, and you should know what that is if you make a bid at an auction.

Prices are more volatile, on the way up, and the way down

Be careful when buying condos when the market has gone on a long run.  When the market turns, and gets soft, condos often lose value faster than the single family homes in the same town.  Part of this is that in large complexes, the only way to compete against other units is a lower price, and in large complexes in a soft market, there are usually multiple units on at the same time.  The converse is also true -buying condos before the market improves can be a fantastic investment - assuming you get out near the top. 

Check your insurance certificate for deductibles and get GAP insurance if needed

Most complexes today are moving their insurance to high deductible policies, mostly to eliminate small claims.  Here's how that works.  The Master Insurance Policy, paid for with your condo fees, will cover you in the event the unit burns down - but the deductible is very high - sometimes 10,000 or more - and you have to pay that first.  Ouch!  Typical homeowners insurance also has a deductible, but it is usually $500 or $1000, so much less difficult to pay.  What to do?  Fortunately, condo owners can buy GAP insurance, which is usually very affordable, ($300-500), and will cover your possessions and pay your deductible.  Well worth the extra expense.

 

The Northborough Homes For Sale Market Report

Northborough checks in with its highest HSI ever in this report.  Prices are on the move too, as Buyers discover the great value in Northborough.  Sellers were very optimistic in February, but they came down to meet the market when push came to shove.

Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .

What should active home buyers do in Northborough ?

Home buyers will find the inventory thin, and things are moving quickly.  But compared to some towns in the area, Northborough is not as tough in some other towns.  Buyers should stay aggressive, and recognize that with prices on the move, todays market properties could look cheap next spring.  It's likely sellers will again ask for premiums, but right now, sellers are accommodating current price levels.

What should potential home sellers do in Northborough ?

Home sellers should make sure their property shows its best - and not reach too far above market levels.  With inventories thin, the right buyer might be willing to pay a steeper premium for a property that looks sharp and meets expectations.  Even if that is hard, properties of all types are getting traffic and bids, so it's good for sellers.

The Natick Homes For Sale Market Report

Did Natick go crazy this spring?  Natick home buyers have.  Throwing caution to the wind, Natick has pushed prices beyond the $300/sq foot mark, meaning they've gone up 10% in a year.  That is a lot, and it makes me think buyers are not being super smart here.  Inside the town, the behavior is rational - but looking around at the surrounding towns, maybe not so much. As prices rise faster than in other places, it changes the value proposition.  

Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .

What should active home buyers do in Natick ?

I strongly recommend looking elsewhere on your list.  You won't believe the comparative values in many surrounding towns.  Yes, I know, they are further "out" or don't have T access.  But they offer other things - like not freaking out about your mortgage!  Nothing against Natick, it's great, it really is.  But it is worth 20-25% more than Southborough, it's neighbor only 10 miles West?  Not sure that is the case. It's 15% more than Sudbury, and that doesn't feel right either.
