The Natick Homes For Sale Market Report

The bellweather report is here! Natick is here! What for say you, Natick!

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

What is that? An HSI below 200? Oh, no, the sky is falling in Natick!! The sky is falling! Or is it? Let's see.

 

Hmmm. Well, overall, the report is still really good. An HSI of 188 is nothing to sneeze at. Sales are over 3x actives, but the actives have come up. We've seen this in other towns, but small changes in the actives can make big changes in the HSI, as the ratios become more normalized. So What is happening? It was a good summer right?

 

Yes, it was, but with prices at $268/sq foot, I think a lot of buyers are starting to "give up" on Natick - and are looking further West. That explains the rising demand in Framingham and Holliston, for example, and I think Ashland's report was very good too. But overall, we are seeing demand lessen, or more importantly, more sellers are hitting the market. Either way, the supply demand curve is getting back to normal.

 

What should active home buyers do in Natick?

I'm going to take Natick off my "don't shop here" list. The prices are still really high, but at least they will be getting more rational, and competitive bids won't be over properties with location and condition issues. There will still be homes that sell in competitive bid situations, but you won't be competing against 5 and 6 bidders very often.

What should potential home sellers do in Natick?

Be more cautious! Make sure you home is ready. Buyers are making decisions quickly, so if you aren't priced right, you may hang around for a bit. Home sellers need to do more thinking, because putting a sign on your lawn is no longer good enough. The market is still covering many mistakes, but it may not much longer.
