The Shrewsbury Homes For Sale Market Report

Shrewsbury report time! Like Natick, Shrewsbury has just very, very little on right now. Still, it's got twice what Natick does. (The towns are similar in size). Still, 50+ houses is too few, and will be a drag on the transaction sale numbers going forward. How about the impact on prices? Well, we'll see.

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

The data on prices is a little mixed. On one hand, the HSI moved up - showing more price pressures, but on the other hand, paid prices actually went down, back to where they were two reports ago, to $192. I actually think the $197 is the outlier - that was a big move up - and prices are where they should be. But the HSI has had another effect - raising the expectations of sellers.

 

Current sellers are now looking for $236/ sq. foot - $44/ sq. foot higher than the sale prices. That means there are some very pricey homes on the market right now.  Oh, and Shrewsbury has no short-sales or foreclosures on the market right now - none.  The numbers continue to fall across the area.

What should active home buyers do in Shrewsbury ?

As we've said elsewhere, you'll have to wait. Especially in Shrewsbury, many homes are expensive compared to recent sale prices. Does that mean they are all overvalued? No, but it does mean that many buyers who are just looking at what's available - and not what has sold - could make a decision that's not supported by current market sales. So be careful.

What should potential home sellers do in Shrewsbury?

Well, this is a great time to get out there, undercut the competition, price above last years sales, and look like a value while getting top dollar. A smart seller can have an easy go of it in this market.
