Weekly Boston Real Estate Sales and Listings Update, April 22, 2005
Below is a report of sales and
listing activity for the past week.
Information is derived from LINK, the online
database that is used by most Boston real estate agents.
New listings:
256
Back on market (listings that went under agreement but deals fell through): 8
/>Price changes (almost always downward, but some go up): 133
Under agreements: 160
/>Off market (variety of reasons, but sometimes these are old listings that never sell):
21
My opinion: Very steady number of new listings and under agreements. Price
changes went up, by about 30% - indicative of an issue with pricing; sellers probably set initial
prices too high, and are lowering them, hoping to get buyers before the start of summer.
