The Grafton Homes For Sale Market Report
In my last report, I noted that prices looked firm to me - despite the apparent drop - and this report we see that was correct, the drop was a blip, prices remained firm. With the HSI hitting a record in Grafton, it is clear to me that buyers are going further to find value - and they are finding it Grafton. While things aren't crazy in Grafton, the prices are good and things will continue to move quickly this fall. Will next year bring a price spike? I don't really see a big drop in inventories yet - but it remains in the mix. We'll review the call post fall closings.

What should active home buyers do in Grafton?
Home buyers will find choices, but they are moving quickly. In fact they are moving quicker than ever. Want to see what an improving real estate market looks like? Here's one way to tell:
|
The average days on market (DOM) for sellers has fallen steadily since we've been watching it. |
You can see here that the time sellers are sitting around on average has fallen steadily, as rising prices to the East push more buyers to the West. If things get much tighter, prices will go up quickly, so now is a good time to make a choice in Grafton.

What should potential home sellers do in Grafton?
Home sellers, the time is getting better each year! I note that there are some prices ranges that are very thin of good choices, so some sellers will find the fall very accommodating, and I would think the spring would be a very good time to list. Get your home ready now if selling is on your to do list!
