More evidence the market is hopping!!!

A while ago I blogged about how the market was hotting up when i received an offer 4 hours from entry to MLS

The Memorial day weekend has been a very relaxing weekend, not too many calls.  Just time spent playing with my son and spending time in the yard. 

That is except for Realtors going frantic over a new listing which hit the MLS on Friday for showings starting Monday. 

It started with the usual, can i just get in early?  calls and went on to questions on age of furnace etc. 

By 1pm Monday, we had 2 offers, by 7 pm we have 4.   Still at least one more tomorrow. All in a weekend's work.

This is not the only occasion that i have been in competition.   Twice this week I was competing for other homes on the East side of Madison.  It is getting far more common.

I have another well priced home on the West side, about $180k.   To hit the MLs Tuesday, I will sit back and watch the fireworks once again. 

 

Later in the week I will post my Market update, which is by far the most upto date stats you will find in the market. 

Also watch this space for a super deal on a cheap condo, needing mold remediation!!

You have offers, site unseen?  What is the listing?  It went on the market Friday, it can be shown Monday and you have multiple offers?  Do you have pictures of this property to share with us?

Yup.  It definitely is starting to heat up in certain price ranges.  I had a listing I posted on the MLS on a Friday evening a few weeks ago, and the next morning I had an offer sight unseen!!

I feel the market is starting to pick up in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts.... Lots of first time home buyers hitting the streets.

Thanks all for reading and commenting.  Of course not all are going out the door like that.  But we are getting some good turn around!!

 

One home went on the market on Friday night, i showed my clients (who had now just got an a/o on their home see above) wrote that day and we are now under contract too.
