How is the market information in the Massachusetts MLS Market Snap Shot
relevant to me and my home?


In many ways! Under the Prices tab, the Asking Prices and Sold Prices graph (Fig 1) depicts the average price and the high/low price of homes for sale in your area that are similar to yours. The graph also depicts the selling price of homes similar to yours that have recently sold. This graph gives you a general indication of what the prices of homes like yours have been doing in the time frame you selected.

Accompanying this graph is the Asking Price vs. Selling Price graph (Fig 2), which compares the prices that sellers originally ask for their homes with the prices they actually get when their homes sell. Note that if the selling price is equal to or more than the asking price, then you might be in a sellers' market and it will generally be easier to sell your home for the price you ask. If the selling price is considerably less than the asking price, then you might be in a buyers' market and it will generally be more difficult to sell your home for the price you ask.

Under the Selling Times tab, the Time on Market: For Sale & Recently Sold graph (Fig 3) depicts the average number of days that homes similar to yours were on the market before they sold. The graph also depicts both the most and least number of days that homes similar to yours were on the market before they sold. Note that the lower the average days-on-the-market, the more it is a sellers' market and it will generally be easier to sell your home for the price you ask. The greater the average days-on-the-market, the more it is a buyers' market and it will generally be more difficult to sell your home for the price you ask.

Accompanying this graph is the Number of Homes for Sale vs. Recently Sold graph (Fig 4) which compares the number of homes similar to yours that have recently been put up for sale, the number that have recently sold and the total number of homes for sale. Note that if recent sales considerably outnumber recent listings you could be in a sellers' market and if recent listings considerably outnumber recent sales you could be in a buyers' market.

How does this Massachusetts MLS Market Snap Shot compare to other
home evaluation services?


Other services may provide a generalized, estimated market evaluation of an average home that has the same basic characteristics as your home. However, such an estimate is only one of many pieces of information you'll need to make the most informed decisions you can when selling your home. Real-Time Market Snapshots also include graphical analysis of important market trends that will place your home evaluation into perspective. These Snapshots give you:

  • Real-time data on homes similar to yours in your area that have recently sold or are currently for sale
  • How long specific homes were on the market before they sold, as well as time-on-the-market averages for your area
  • Volume comparisons of recent sales, new listings and total listings
  • Percentages comparison of asking price to selling price for recent sales
  • Average, median and high/low prices for homes that have recently sold or are currently for sale

This additional information is crucial in helping to price, position and market your home so that you get top dollar when you sell.
