Buyers are negotiating again. 👀🏡
Nationally, more than 45% of home sales included seller concessions in September, while 22% of sellers reduced their asking prices in the four weeks ending October 11.
But here in MetroWest? The numbers tell a different story.
📍 Wellesley: 100.2% of asking
📍 Needham: 100.3% of asking
📍 Westwood: 102.1% of asking
More negotiating opportunities nationally, but competition is still very real locally.
