My thoughts: Although some of the data stayed the same, I believe it is all accurate, and up to date. As you can see, under agreements and sales have stayed constant, pretty much, every week.
LINK data, as of August 18, 2006:
According to LINK, there are 3,125 properties on the market, throughout Boston. This is not all-inclusive, it is only those properties listed in LINK – mostly condos in the Boston Proper neighborhoods.
Over the past week, there were 134 new listings. There were 138 listings taken off the market. There were 93 listings going under agreement. There were 125 properties that closed.
About that: If it’s true (and I don’t doubt it) that there were 138 listings taken off the market and 93 listings going under agreement, then there was a net loss of 97 listings on the market, last week, according to LINK.
A vibrant market in Boston is if there are about 2,000 condos for sale, at any one time. So, if we lose 100 listings a week, it will take ten weeks to bring the market back to equilibrium.
I guess.
