Dear Neighbor,

Ah, the thrill of finding that perfect new home with all the space and amenities your heart desires! But let’s not forget the rollercoaster ride of selling your current place and managing the whole shebang. Phew, it can be overwhelming, can’t it?

But fear not, my friend, because your home is no ordinary thing—it’s a treasure trove of memories, a haven where you’ve danced, laughed, and felt the boom of the crazy Concord cannons on many a patriotic holiday! And guess what? It’s time to ensure you’re squeezing every ounce of value out of this precious gem in today’s market!

I’m here to guide you through the highs and lows, the ins and outs, and help you make the most of your returns. So buckle up, my friend, because we’re about to dive into the mesmerizing world of the Concord real estate market. Here are some juicy tidbits comparing May of this year to the thrilling May of last year (2022).

Inventory Is Tighter Than Last Year

With the limited number of properties available and high demand, it’s more important than ever to price your home appropriately. This May, 12 homes sold, down from 22 at the same time last year. However, the sale-to-list percentage rebounded from April’s 99% to 106% in May, down from the 110% we saw last year but indicating that bidding wars are still alive and well in this market. In fact, only one home in May sold for less than asking. To ensure maximum return on your investment, working with a real estate expert who can strategically price and market your home is crucial.

Median Sale Price is Down

The median sale price decreased from $1.61M last May to $1.45M in May 2023 — median days to offer held fairly steady from 5.5 days last May to 5 this year. Homes are flying off the shelf after hitting the market, so buyers are encouraged to see properties the moment they hit the market as they likely won’t be around to check out the following weekend. Understanding the nuances of these stats is critical when you are selling your most significant financial asset–and that’s precisely why you deserve a strategic marketing plan.
