I spent a little time digging deep "into the numbers" behind recent and past sales in Bay Colony. And these are the results:
There always seems to be around 20 homes on the market in Bay Colony at any given time, and that has been the case for years. As a basis for comparison, here is the number of units sold per year. Keep in mind that 2008 was also my worst year in Real Estate.
YEAR MARKET CONDITIONS #UNITS SOLD
2005 Good to Strong 9
2006 Very Strong 5
2007 Very Strong - Declining 5
2008 Very Poor 0
2009 Very Poor - Improving 6
2010 Improving 4
In my opinion, this is a good time to sell. However, you have to ask yourself how low you are willing to go...Here are the average sales price figures:
2005 $491,000
2006 $732,000
2007 $732,000
2008 $0
2009 $513,000
2010 $371,000
So, here is the bottom line..if it is priced right, it will sell!
