The Milford Homes For Sale Market Report

Checking in on the housing market in Milford, we're presented with this odd chart:

 

Prices in Milford are a little strange, with asking prices below

recent sale prices.

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

What gives?  It's been three reports in a row where the sale prices have been higher than the asking prices.  How can that happen?  Well, it's because the homes that are currently on the market - and not selling - have the greatest issues, and have to be marked down far below the average sale in town. Usually, the ratio of "lots of issues" homes to "average to only a few issue" homes favors the nicer homes, so it doesn't bring down the average.  But there's clearly a few distressed homes in Milford that are working on the number.

What should active home buyers do in Milford ?

Recognize that with two reports in a row above 200, prices in Milford are under pressure.  That means well priced homes in good condition are selling fast - really fast.  In fact, the average home sale is in just 40 days - so many homes are selling in the first couple.  Home buyers need to know the market, and know Value, so they can act when they see something.
