Wayland Home Sales Update - Fewer Homes on Market

Welcome to the Real Estate Market Conditions report for Wayland Massachusetts for February 2011.


The number of single family homes on the market in Wayland remains low at just 57 for sale; last year at this time there were 61. Current activity shows that 4 of the properties already have accepted offers and are being shown until contingencies clear. Additionally, there are 11 single family properties with sales pending.

While median and average prices are helpful information, the market value of any property depends on the supply and demand which can vary greatly for each price range. It is important to understand your specific market when determining the list price that will attract the highest number of buyers; or if you are a buyer trying to determine what you are willing to pay.

For anyone looking for easy living, there are still excellent opportunities in Wayland, however, fewer than last year at this time.
