Homes sold in Scituate - November 2013

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Brad MacKenzie

3 Aberdeen, ScituateIn Scituate, Massachusetts, while the number of sales is typical for this time of year, both the sales prices and prices paid per square foot have advanced solidly in the past year.

The homes that are selling have been on the market for a short period of time, but have still sold for only 90% of their original asking price, suggesting that the sellers who succeeded in selling were motivated to sell now, in the winter months, and may have realized that their "late-summer pricing" wasn't generating buyer interest. No home that sold was on the market for seven months, and most sold in less than five months.

Buyers are paying more to buy in Scituate than they were last year. With many homes under agreement, total sales activity has been high, and the supply of homes is tightening somewhat.

Hi Brad - I like how you explained the numbers -- it's important for buyers and sellers to know the nuances of a neighborhood, community or city.

Very comprehensive report Brad. The December report may be down too but holidays and weather have so much to do with it.
