Georgetown, MA Real Estate 2017 - 2021 Stats

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Evolution - 447 Boston Street Topsfield, MA 92593-B

This is a 5-year look at the Georgetown, MA Single-Family Real Estate Market. We are a small New England town & our population is growing (8700) and we are in short supply. We all know what low supply v. high demand equals...That's right higher prices. 

The average sales price as a percentage of list price is 107.6% was up 7points.

Our average sales price from 2017 to 2021 is up almost $200,000.

The interesting thing is, 2021 saw the least amount of closed sales during that 5-year period. My personal opinion is as prices get beyond many buyers' ability to pay they move to a lesser-priced community or even cross the border into Southern, NH to find shelter that is more affordable.

Hello Doug - a lot can (and has) change (changed) in a five-year period.  In the world and in local real estate.  It can be kinda scary for some but the opportunities are still abundant. But in different ways.

Wow, that is definitely a large increase in average prices - and interesting that the average sale price is higher than the average list price. That would tell me that there are those who can afford those prices and probably had to compete with other offers.

Do you have people moving to your area from elsewhere?

I was a little surprised at the comparison. It felt like 2021 would have been stronger
