The Medfield Homes For Sale Market Report

As we move through the reports, we are seeing a number of similarities in the charts.  Here's the pricing chart in Medfield, and on this chart we can see that Home Prices are about the same as they were 2 years ago.  Medfield is an expensive town, and the affordability has put a cap on prices.  Sellers were asking well over $320/ sq foot just  a few months ago, and have been very optimistic for a year plus.  But home buyers aren't going crazy, they are staying at a point that they think works.

We can really see some of the inner workings here.  It is May, but we're seeing a sharp surprise in active properties, and a sharp decrease in the HSI.  Listen, the HSI is still in the 170's - the sky isn't falling - but if you think the real estate market is going to keep going straight up, this chart and data - going a year back - shows that there are some real resistance areas popping up, and things probably are going to go up far slower from this point on.

What should potential home buyers do in Medfield?

I think home buyers in Medfield have been smart and rational - they are clearly shopping multiple towns and and finding the best value proposition, while by and large, staying out of price wars and crazy over bidding.  That stuff is happening - but not on every house - and the buyers commitment to price levels is evidence.

What should future home sellers do in Medfield?

If I was a home seller, I'd be careful about asking too much.  That has been a poor strategy, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better.  Good, accurate pricing, as always, is likely to net you the best and fastest result.
