Pretty thorough report Bill! I'm hoping home values go up for next year!

Bill- another timely report keeping track of the market stats for Ashland, Mass. Great job Bill!
Well the good news is they are selling almost 1/3 quicker, and have increased over last year. Well done!

Bill, I just took a quick look at your other market reports as well, and this is the only only that appears to have an increase in units sold. You guys must be feeling the pinch of the summer slow down. Let's hope for a better Fall.

Hi Bill,
Looks to me like your inventory is creeping up slightly. Guess that could be (in part) why you're seeing somewhat lower prices, if I'm reading this correctly.
Looks like a bit of a mixed report. Hopefully, the next few months will bring some clarity.
Thanks everyone for all your comments on my Ashland MA Real Estate report!
