We're taking a look at January of 2021 and comparing it to January of 2020 in the real estate market north of Boston specifically Middlesex and Essex counties for single-family homes, multi-family homes and condominiums.  Right now inventory levels are really low they are down by about 36% compared to last January. The time it's taking homes to sell, days on market, is also down by about 30% compared to last January. The amount of homes sold is up by about 10% from last January and median prices are up by about 7.2%.  For sellers out there that are selling now they're certainly cashing in, with low inventory and high demand, it remains a seller's market. For buyers wondering where they can escape the competition of other buyers, unfortunately we're seeing multiple offer situations in all price points from north of Boston, Middlesex and Essex counties all the way into southern New Hampshire.  If you're thinking about a move over the next 24 months and have questions, feel free to give us a call we'd be happy to give some information we can be reached at 617-275-3379.
