The average “days on market” for these sales was 237.5 days. However, remember this number can be skewed as some of these properties came off the market and then were re-listed later at lower prices…so the days on the market were reset. If we were to track those that came off and on the market several times the days on market increases to 562 days.

Wakefield Active Listings listing data reflects an increase in market inventory by 31.5% when compared to last year’s year-end stats. There are currently one hundred-eleven residential homes available for purchase in Wakefield, fifty-four offer waterfront and/or water access; five condominium units; eighty vacant land parcels and eight commercial properties. Year-end sales volume is up 28.2% over last year, with a modest decrease in the average sales price by .08%.

Pending and contingent sales reflect an increase over last year’s activity by 8.9% and 59%, however completed sales are not keeping in line with the increase. There are apparently a number of pending and contingent sales that didn’t make the count of successful sales; one can only surmise that not all of the under contract transactions are making it through the inspection and/or financing contingencies. Interest rates remain at a lifetime low, the overall market remains soft – buyers with the means to purchase are in the best position during this continued time of market uncertainty.
