REAL ESTATE IN THE NEWS

 

What Does Move-In Ready Really Mean?

You may need to adjust your mindset before walking into a house advertised as move-in ready.

 

But what does “move-in ready” really mean? Depending on who’s talking, it could simply mean that all the appliances work. For others, it means a freshly renovated home that reflects popular trends and styles. Or you may want a house that requires zero work – if the paint colors don’t match your tastes, it’s not move-in ready.

Weston, MA - Area Market Review

2023 vs 2022 as of July 11, 2023

Prepared by Leslye Fligor on Tuesday, July 11, 2023

 

 

 

Takeaway - This is still a seller's market. Low inventory has allowed prices to remain high. Days on Market have increased, but ultimately, home sales in 2023 are closing at higher prices than in 2022.
