The Worcester Homes For Sale Market Report
The Worcester report is always an important one due to the amount of data and the effect it has on the surrounding communities. The second biggest city in Massachusetts, it has a large impact on the communities around it. It's a trailing indicator though, as it often lags communities further east.

What do we see? The trends remain in place. Sales volume is strong, inventory is tight (but not as tight as last year) and prices are moving up in a steady, rational manner. Also, in the last report, we saw a bunch of bank impacted inventory come one, and while it's still high, it's gone back down the the previous ratios.
