Homes For Sale in Shrewsbury Market Report
Shrewsbury is up, and as one of the larger towns we cover, is usually a good barometer of the mood out there for buyers and sellers. Here's what we see:

Hmmm...
We see a lower HSI (but not exactly "low" at 147. We see inventory at 64 homes - less than 25% of where we started in 2011. Overall though, there's two numbers that jump out to me. The first is prices - prices continued to move higher, to $190/ sq foot. That tells me buyers aren't taking their foot off the gas in Shrewsbury. If they like it, they are paying the price. Also worth noting was the high (relatively) days for sale of the properties that are currently on the market. At 173, that's getting up there, so I did some additional research. There's one property that's been on the market for 2000+ days. If I take that out, we drop to 140. That makes more sense. OK, no big deal.

Hopefully the sellers are ready to get out there. Looks to me like the market could use some home sellers in Shrewsbury.
