Shirley is seeing very limited inventory in this rolling three-month view, with only 2 active listings and 1 new listing, both sharply lower than a year ago. Homes sold and pending sales are also down significantly year over year, pointing to slower contract activity overall. With just 1 home sold in the period, each individual sale has a noticeable impact on local statistics.
Pricing has moved in a very different direction from activity levels. The typical home value is up strongly year over year, rising more than 60 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio has climbed to about 107 percent, with 100 percent of recent sales closing above list price. At the same time, the current median list price is only slightly higher than last year, which suggests sellers may be starting pricing conservatively even as final sale prices push higher.
While prices have surged, selling conditions for individual listings have become more drawn out. The median days on market has jumped to 134, more than doubling compared with a year ago, and months of supply has expanded to about 6.4 months, even though the broader gauge still labels Shirley a seller’s market. This mix of slower pace, low listing counts, and strong sale prices can be tricky to navigate, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands this shifting landscape.
