Sold single family homes declined 11.5% for Nov. 2022 vs. last year in prime luxury markets, reflecting offers post Labor Day when market started to shift.
CHESTNUT HILL, MA, USA, December 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The number of sold single family homes declined from 87 to 77 units (11.5%) for the month of November 2022 versus the same month last year for the prime MetroWest luxury markets consisting of Brookline, Newton, Wellesley, and Weston, MA (collectively), according to a recent study by The MBA Agent, a prominent Boston area Realtor.
"November 2022 marks the first month of data where the preponderance of closed transactions were from accepted offers after Labor Day, when the market seems to have started to shift," said Jonathan Slater, President of The MBA Agent in Chestnut Hill and a luxury real estate specialist. Mr. Slater, who has an MBA from Harvard Business School, was recently recognized as a "Top Producer" by Boston magazine.
But Slater notes that not all markets fared equally in November. "The single family home market in Brookline seems to have been surprisingly resilient, with days on market down by 51.5% and list prices per square foot up 24.4%, while the number of sold units also increased 10.0%," he adds.
Conversely, the neighboring city of Newton didn't fare as well where listings and days on market spiked 35.6% and 36.2%, respectively," he said.
Similarly, Wellesley seems to have lost some of its luster, with days on market increasing 22.7% along with sold transactions dropping 20.0%. Neverthless, the report shows that the neighboring town of Weston saw a doubling of new listings which produced a pop of 172.5% in listing inventory to 3.27 months supply versus the same time last year.
"Back in November 2021, things were flying off the market," notes Slater. "That's not happening much any more, except in certain very prime locations."
