SCM! It's a sellers market!

[liveintheville]

So my friends down the street from you sold after their first open house. Had 4 bids and it went for $30k over asking!

Everyone in Union is selling after 1 open house as well and for over asking. It's crazy! Some places have had close to 20 bids.

I would seriously kill for someone to by our house in CT. Can this sellers market expand to Avon CT!?

That's awesome. Stuff has been going quickly here too. And one house that's been on the market *forever* (cute house, not ideal location) just put up a Sale Pending sign

Inventory is insanely low. A house that we looked at and was on the market all last summer but went off the market for the winter, just went back on and was under contract in two weeks.

Yes! Unfortunately my friends are all moving to Arlington and the issue there is low inventory. One of them lucked out and found a great house. The others are looking to rent.
I do know a family who sold over asking and is moving to Denver, CO. They're trilled.

I hope it rings true for the South Shore! We were just talking tonight about selling J's place regardless of if we stay in Boston or not.

Omg I was totally going to text you about this! Not only did your friends place sell within a week of being on the market (HOLY CRAP at 30k above asking!!!) but their next door neighbors sold within a week of listing too!! I think they went on the market the same day.

VILLE FOR THE WIN! We're total villans fo life, but its awesome to see the neighborhood blowing up. We bought at the bottom of the market and when we refied in October we had already gained 30k (in 3 years) on our assessment!

We'd like to stay as long as possible. We'll see how long they last sharing a bedroom before trying to kill each other. We t least have several years. Hopefully we can wait out the green line even then we may stay and just buy a 3 bed.
there was a 2 family for sale for just over a million up the street. It had over 10 offers, all above asking. It's crazy!
