The Upton Homes For Sale Market Report

Checking in to Upton, we see that Upton, like lots of places, is seeing an increase in inventory over last year. Unlike a lot of places, Upton really hasn't see the price appreciation that other places have. Translation: There are still good deals in Upton, but you need to be very careful! Why? Well it has to do with the metric I've been collecting over the past months. We'll get to that in the second chart.

What should active home buyers do in Upton ?

If you look at the chart below, $/sq foot has remained steady at about $170/sq foot. But the red line shows what the average seller is expecting - and that has risen sharply. Basically, looking at the two charts, we see that buyers have been smart about purchasing the value properties, while the more expensive properties have not sold. This doesn't mean every house on the market is too high - but it suggests that many of them are too high in price - and that buyers choosing "best available" could be paying a premium over buyers in the recent past. It's worth noting that the gap between expectations and sale prices is among the highest I've seen in the short time I've been collecting the metric.
