The Grafton Homes For Sale Market Report

Grafton looks to expand on a new trend we've been seeing, and also has some mystery too - a fall in prices where there shouldn't be one. Let's see!

The HSI continues to climb, and inventories are headed down,

indicating that prices rises are near.

Overall, things look rosy for home sellers - the market is getting busy at the right time. Buyers aren't complaining, as sales volume is picking up nicely. The new trend that I'm seeing is that the last 3 months have been much, much busier than the previous three months. And really, we're talking about the last two months, because we know February was a dud. In Grafton, 91 of the last 125 homes have sold in the last 8 weeks or so, and that's a bunch.

 

They mystery is there's an apparent fall in prices paid. Note though, that the seller's asking prices have not fallen, so this is likely a result of some distressed inventory moving off the market, as investors start fixing and flipping the more risky properties.

 

 

What should active home buyers do in Grafton?

Things are busy - the most desirable homes are selling very quickly - a week or less. Those that need work or have less than popular locations are hanging around, and there are still some values, but they are moving fast.

What should potential home sellers do in Grafton?

Prices seem firm. When I look at the data though, there's still not a ton of pressure yet. Inventory is falling, and when it falls low enough, prices will spike. That spike is coming, but I'm not sure it's here yet.

 

 

Seller's aren't asking any more, but buyers have been

driving harder deals in this report.
