Spring 2017 Single Family Home Sales on North Shore of Massachusetts Are All About Over-Asking Offers

Last night I presented some information to new single family homebuyer clients looking North of Boston, targeting towns such as Reading, North Reading, Stoneham, Wilmington, Woburn & Wakefield. Not surprisingly, days on market are quick (the past 2 weeks of offers have an average of 10 days until offer in Reading alone!), and multiple-offers are the norm, which means "over-asking" accepted offers are also the trend. 

Here's the quick data for these North Shore towns for the past two months of single family home sales, using the price range of $400,000 - $700,000. As a guide, DTO = Days Until Offer. The Last bit of data: "Average Overall Sold Home Price" is ALL homes, not just those between 400-700K:
