Shirley - It certainly is a buyers market here in my area of Metrowwest Mass. Homes that are priced properly however, are still moving in a timely fashion.

Okay, you know me Bill--I'm going to find the positive--yes, the average sales prices are down year over year but, the days on the market for those sold in Jan of this year is 1/3 of those sold last Jan.--Could it be that the prices, although down, are more on target for the market this year?!

As always, great market report with excellent insight to encourage those buyers to get off the fence--this is THEIR market!

Holy smoke, Bill ~ the stat that grabbed my attention was DOM.  From 186 days to 59 days?!?!?  That one statistic alone says volumes.  I also appreciate the way you keep your reports simple and straightforward.  KISS principle?   :)
