So, You Want to Buy A House in Canton?

Information about the Canton Real Estate Market. Christine Smith is an Attorney and Exclusive Buyer Agent with over 20 years of experience in real estate.

The Spring is in full swing.  In spite of the drop in the real estate market over the past several years and despite what you hear on the news, the is very busy.  I have run into properties going under agreement within days of being listed and many multiple offer situations.  Agents who have Open Houses are reporting a lot of foot traffic.

Maybe it's the fact that we had a LONG cold winter.  Once the finally melted, people could not wait to get out of their houses. Maybe it's the fact that the economy, or at least the Massachusetts economy, is starting to show signs of recovery. Perhaps buyers who have been on the sidelines have decided that the low interest rates coupled with low home prices are not going to stay around forever.  Or, maybe it's the fact that in many places it is cheaper month to month to buy rather than rent.  It could be a combination of all of the above. The bottom line is that the 2011 spring real estate market is busy.
