In fact, a different article in the Globe todaysited Bedford, MA  as one of 10 towns across the state where home sales are “thriving” and a “real real estate winner in July”!

A look at local statistics

In Lexington, MA (and our surrounding towns) the market remains active, and average days on market, according to MLS figures for Lexington sales of single families from $500-$800K, is averaging 66 days with average sale price of $648,578. In Bedford, MA, according to MLS figures for sales of single families from $375-$700K, the average market time has been 56.5 days with an average sale price of $506,178.

Low rates

Besides these statistics actually showing a favorable market, we have interest rates at historic lows not seen in the last 39 ½ years.  Although we’re not experiencing the runaway prices and escalating values of the boom years, we are entering a more stabilized pricing market, which works well for both buyers and sellers in the long run.

Sellers

For sellers considering selling a home, this is an ideal time to consider doing so — low interest rates are expanding the pool of buyers, there tends to be a surge in activity after Labor Day, and the fall market begins in earnest. For sellers who are not considering a move at this time, we would encourage you to talk to a lender about refinancing.  And as always, we’re happy to provide you with local lender resources.

Buyers

For buyers, this is the best time to buy a home, as this is a window of opportunity with low mortgage rates and more stabilized prices.

Looking ahead!

Now is the time for healthy dose of optimism and we’re anticipating it will be a busy fall market!
