TEN YEAR LOW IN AVAILABLE HOMES FOR ‘SPRING MARKET’
SELLERS: Equipped with the proper game plan, sellers are finding success they haven’t enjoying in several
years. Many who tried to sell last winter are now finding their homes with open house attendance of 50+
people and beneficiaries of frenzied bidding wars.
BUYERS: Newton home buyers find themselves frustrated in losing out on properties that sell within hours of
being listed on the MLS or falling victim to ineffective strategy on winning bidding wars.
Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Leading Edge, Paul Mydelski, explains, “Newton not only offers easy access to
Boston but also boasts one of the finer school districts in the Commonwealth. Three years of ‘pent-up’
demand and historically low interest rates has given buyers the confidence to boldly move forward at this
time.”
