Median House Size 3.388 sq ft.
Market Action Index

37.4 -  Seller's Advantage

Data provided by ©2005-2014 Altos Research LLC.

The Market Action Index answers the question "How's the Market?" by measuring the current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory. Index above 30 implies a seller's advantage. Below 30, conditions give the advantage to the buyer.

The median list price in ANDOVER, MA  this week is $774,450. The 76 properties have been on the market for an average of 100 days.

Demand measured by the Market Action Index is increasing and days-on-market is trending downward. Even as more properties come available, these are positive trends for the market.

The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we're in the Seller's zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes it's climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer's zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Median Price: We continue to see prices in this zip code bounce around these current levels. Look for a persistent down-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices dip. A persistent increase in Market Action could indicate prices will test their previous high points.

Price per Square Foot: The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from these levels.

Market Action Index: The ANDOVER, 01810 market is currently in the Seller's Advantage zone (greater than 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 37.44 which indicates that demand is strong and available supply of homes gets snapped up relatively quickly.

Days on Market: The properties have been on the market for an average of 100 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 28 or so days.

Praful good to hear there are Sellers Markets close to CT.  We are still very much in a Buyers Market, but hopefully we will start to move more towards your market conditions.

Though there are 76 homes on market, it's not sufficient for Andver market.

Good morning Praful. It is funny to read George's comment, Andover Ma, is a million miles away when it comes to local market conditions. Each market is very local, as you well know.
