The Hopkinton Homes For Sale Market Report

In the last report, we noted that prices had been pushed to a record. Well - it didn't last - prices have pulled back some according to the most recent data. Why? Well, I think of a lot of the recent softness has to do with the large Pulte development at Legacy Farms. Although prices are really high there, much of the purchase data doesn't float through to MLS, and the extra supply is keeping a lid on prices. Are the prices at Legacy Farms worth it? That's another question for another day. Things certainly seem OK for Hopkinton sellers - but I don't see any imminent prices rises based on this data.

What should active home buyers do in Hopkinton?

Home buyers should make sure they understand their choices. In the 500-800 price range, there's new construction, but it's very expensive in the context of the overall market. A premium is usually paid, but that doesn't mean it can't get out of line with market fundamentals. Buyers looking at pre-owned houses will see a rational market, much cheaper than Natick, but more expensive than Ashland - as is usually the case.

What should potential home sellers do in Hopkinton?

Homes sellers are getting good traffic and many are getting quick sales - just not as quick as a couple of years ago. Yes, the rise in prices has slowed things down a bit, but home prices are still near their highs, and unless a lot more inventory comes on the market, prices should stay firm. Here's what you can't do - push prices up. Know your competition, or you'll have a long sales cycle.
