The market in plain English
88 homes sold in Braintree over the last 90 days, down from 107 in the 90 days before. The typical home sold for 100.0% of its asking price after 23 days on the market, and 45% sold for more than asking. Compared with the prior 90 days the market is cooling a little: sale prices slipped 0.4 points against asking and homes took 3 days longer to sell.
Right now 62 homes are for sale in Braintree and 37 are under agreement. At the recent pace of sales that is about 2.1 months of supply. A common rule of thumb reads under four months as a market that favors sellers and over six as one that favors buyers, so by that measure sellers still have the edge. 11 listings came on the market in the last two weeks.
Price cuts are worth watching: 34 of the 62 homes for sale (55%) have lowered their price at least once since they were listed, by a median 5.1%. A price cut usually means a home was priced above what buyers would pay when it first came on, and it is often where buyers find room to negotiate.
Single-family homes and condos are behaving differently. 66 single-family homes sold, 55% of them over asking, in a median 21 days. 19 condos sold, 11% over asking, in a median 34 days, at 98.1% of asking against 100.8% for single-family homes.
By price, the most competition is in the $750k–1M range, where 63% of 19 homes sold over asking. The least is under $500k, at 18% of 11.
