How to Navigate Boston’s Seller’s Market


Boston is experiencing a great boom in real estate values. The Boston housing market forecast for the 3 years ending with the 3rd Quarter of 2021 is also positive. The accuracy of the Boston housing market trend prediction is 78%. Accordingly, LittleBigHomes.com estimates that the probability for rising home prices in Boston, MA is 78% during this period. If this Housing Market Forecast is correct, home values will be higher in the 3rd Quarter of 2021 than they were in the 3rd Quarter of 2018. Buying into the Boston real estate market makes good financial sense for a future return on your investment. Like most of the country, Boston is experiencing a seller’s market. A seller’s market means there is more demand than supply and low levels of inventory.  What can a potential home buyer do to prepare for buying in a seller’s market?

·         Do the research. Scour real-estate websites and pump agents for data. Know what has sold for what price.
·         Pre-interview local contractors. To accept an as-is house, you need to ballpark how much repairs will cost.
·         Get preapproved. If you don’t have cash, show the seller that financing is guaranteed.
·         Act fast. Check for new listings daily and call the listing agent immediately.
·         Waive contingencies. It is scary, but sometimes necessary.
·         Write the seller a letter explaining why you love the house

And above all, make sure you are working with a qualified professional! A Boston Real Estate agent who has the experience to help you compose the perfect offer to get that Boston home of your dreams!
