East Side is seeing very limited activity, with only 1 home on the market and 2 new listings recently. Pending sales are at 3, and contract flow is well below last year, with pending deals down about 57 percent and new listings off 75 percent. With so few homes available, buyers have fewer options and sellers face less direct competition.
Prices are holding relatively steady even with the slower pace. The typical home value in East Side is about $748,500, a slight 7 percent dip from a year ago, and roughly in line with projections for the coming month. List prices are more volatile, with the median list price jumping over 35 percent month over month to $624,900 and projected to move higher toward $706,125.
Homes are taking longer to sell, sitting on the market a median of 45 days, which is up about 87 percent from last year, yet East Side is still considered a seller's market with a market gauge of 3. Only about 29 percent of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 1.00, suggesting prices are close to what buyers are willing to pay. Compared with Wakefield overall, where typical values are nearer $785,000 and inventory is around 16 homes, East Side offers a smaller, tighter segment of the market.
