Millis, MA Housing Market Statistics Overview


Millis is a small town with limited inventory. It's so small, that sometimes buyers don't know that they should keep it on their list if they are looking in that area. It certainly looks to me like the buyers have completely forgotten about Millis - sales have crept to a virtual standstill. We can see this by looking at the past three month sales - part of my "momentum" calculation - where we go from 21 sales in the last report to just 13 - a decrease of 40%. Market time rose, and sales dropped. Many times, we see this when inventory rises, but in this case, inventory has remained stable, showing there's just no new inventory, and buyers haven't been excited by what's currently on the market. One thing is clear though: Buyers should put Millis back on the list - there will be sellers willing to sharpen their pencils to get a deal done, and values may be easier to find in Millis than they have been in a while.

No foreclosures in Millis for the second straight report, and short-sales are posting an equally boring number in this report. Good!

Milford, MA - Home Sales Statistics (Feb)

Milford Housing Market Statistics Overview


Sales are still outpacing active properties, but at a slower rate, and looks to be heading to even, so we see a slightly cooler market in Milford in this report. It's still neutral, not favoring buyers or sellers, so that means that popular homes in popular spots are receiving lots of attention, and homes that don't offer as much location or condition features are languishing on the market until the price gets down. I'm excited that I get to start reporting on $ foot differentials from report to report, even though the moves will often be quite small. Milford moved just $1 up, showing how stable these numbers can be.  Compared to last year, the market is better for sellers - but not too much.

Both foreclosures and short-sales are up sharply, so count Milford among the towns where you're likely to be looking at lender impacted property. With 26 of the 87 homes on the market having lenders make the final decision, they're hard to avoid. Most are short-sales, but 10% are foreclosures, and those foreclosures will keep a lid on prices.

Another home Sold in Upton: Florence Road


Sometimes, it's the little things that tell you you've found the right house.

This home had a pretty nice garden, and the buyers were also big gardeners. Not too many homes have gardens, so quirks like are sometimes the indicative that you've found the house for you. Sounds corny, but it works that way more than you'd think.
