Do Real Estate Agents Work over New Year?

Well it seems that some do and some don’t.

The starting point of all my data is MLS and so the timing of my reports depends on when real estate agents update their pending listings to actual closed sales, or change the anticipated sale date. Agents in Beverly , Marblehead and Swampscott are clearly hard workers and I have published reports on those markets. There are, of course, other markets where I am sure the same applies but I do not publish individual stats on all 351 cities and towns!

As of this morning, Saturday, January 3, there are 272 SFHs in Massachusetts that were scheduled to close before the end of 2014 but where the transactions have not been updated in MLS. My Essex County and Massachusetts reports will be published when MLS is current.

I am a slave to my data.

If you – or somebody you know – are considering buying or selling a home and have questions about the market and/or current home prices, feel free to contact me on 617.834.8205 or [email protected].
