Marblehead’s shrinking housing inventory

Somebody once said a week is a long time in politics. So also in real estate. A week ago the focus was on the limited inventory and the surprising drop in mortgage rates which was giving buyers another great opportunity.

This week the focus is on snow, snow and yes snow. Just imagine how bad these storms would feel today had not the Patriots won last night?

But we will adjust, and the low mortgage rates will still be out there to attract buyers. But what will they find available? First SFHs:

The increase in the $1-2 million range is entirely between $1.5 and $2 million. And note the drop at the top end.

Are there condos for sale in Marblehead?

If buyers brave the weather they will find little available. Take note sellers!
