Spring Home Sales Now On Record! Helps Buyers and Appraisers Understand Marketplace!
A review of recent home sales now on record and how these numbers impact the marketplace!

The competition will remain heated for first timers, who have not experienced home buying as they hope to capture a property among veteran property owners interested in upgrading or empty-nestors looking to find a first floor condo or ranch home.
The good news, recent home sales are now on record! These homes will aid appraisers working on behalf of banks to quantify offers. In towns like Arlington, Belmont and Lexington, offers have climbed by $50,000 , $75,000 or $125,000 above the list price, when multiple offers are received...
