Shrewsbury, MA - Real Estate Sales and Statistics (September)

The Shrewsbury Homes For Sale Market Report


Another strong report for Metrowest home sellers. Unlike past springs, we've really seen strong numbers across the whole region, as buyers are pushing west, north, south to both find selection and values that they embrace. Shrewsbury continues that trend. Shrewsbury had enjoyed a good run early when the market turned, but lately had moderated slightly over the past year, and bordered on slumping. As shown in the chart below, numbers in the 70's are not exactly great markets for sellers.

But the buyers returned this spring, and bought a great many homes in the late spring. The HSI only jumped to 90, which is good, but not great, so I'm not surprised to see that prices really didn't move much - typically, we've seen that only occur for sustained housing demand in this market - but this is certainly not pointing to an easy fall for buyers. Easier, perhaps, than some other markets, but not easy. In fact, the number of homes in pending could easily see the market tighten further - if sellers don't come this fall.
