Real state logoAn Arlington real estate agent, Adam Rosenbaum, provides an update about homes for sale in town that have gone under agreement, the asking price for each and how many days on the market.


April 13 Globe story
The following are his comments.

As an Arlington realtor and long time resident, I'm always surprised
just how much interest there is when I'm talking with people about
real estate.  It doesn't seem to matter if they are "in the market" or
not.  Everyone seems to be curious.  Whether it's to assess their own
houses' value, pure neighborly curiosity, or perhaps to take the pulse
of the town, real estate has a definite hold on people's
consciousness.  So as a public service, and admittedly in my own
interest, I am happy to start bringing you an update on properties
that have gone under agreement (UAG) every two or four weeks. I've
chosen UAG's (as opposed to SOLD) properties because UAG's represent
what is happening NOW in Arlington's real estate market.  If you
contact me, I can sometimes provide you with the actual SOLD closed
price.

Over the recent four-week period (7/8-8/8)  – 43 properties have gone under
agreement.  The 28 single-family houses went under agreement in a very
quick 31 Average Days on Market (DOM). Condos in a slightly longer 42
DOM.  These figures are indicative of a still very strong market.  I
know of one single family near Spy Pond that received seven offers in
the first week.  Rates are still relatively low, and the buyer pool
seems to be holding strong.  If you haven't heard, there is a now
$7500 tax credit that is being offered to first time buyers, ask your
lenders.
