The Worcester Homes For Sale Market Report

Sometimes, things aren't complicated.  The prices paid chart - and rising optimism of sellers - is clear to see in Central Mass biggest market. 

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

To me, this chart is unabashedly positive.  Let's look at the details:
This chart as well, shows nothing but optimism.  With demand strong in Worcester, and transactions near a high and inventory (homes for sale) at a low, that puts pressure on each and every market in the surrounding area.  This is good news for home sellers across Metrowest and central mass, and tells buyers to pounce on any weakness that they see in the markets.  It argues things are headed higher.

What should potential home buyers do in Worcester?

There are options!  It's a big city, and there are always options.  It remains a town where "looking harder" is a good option.  There's little need to overpay, as there will always be another property.  However, the good stuff is moving quickly, and prices continue to move up.  Things will be more expensive next spring.

What should future home sellers do in Worcester?

Home sellers will see good traffic and the best prices in a decade.  It doesn't look like we're done though - things could keep moving up, and this chart is positive enough where I think that might be the case.
