westwood ma houses for sale

Westwood MA SF Fall housing report 2018. 73 properties are listed in MLSPIN today for the last 30 days. Of those listings there are 48 Active listings, 14 Under Agreement listings, 9 Sold listings and 2 either expired or canceled. These stats indicate Westwood is still a Seller’s market but moving back towards a normal market. A normal market is defined as one where there is at least 6 months worth of inventory. With 48 active and 9 being sold we have a little over 5 months inventory. With 14 UAG, the sales of next month we will have a shorter number of months worth of inventory. These simple facts do not tell the story. The market is softening overall, partly because it is that time of the year when it slows down, but also the rising interest rates are shifting the prices in some areas of the town.
