Who holds the cards?
Negotiating leverage for detached homes in Marlborough, measured against the community’s own 5-year norm.
(+0.1% vs norm)
Homes are currently fetching 99.0% of asking against a 98.9% five-year norm. What that leverage means for a specific home depends on its type, style, and price band - that’s the conversation I have with the actual comparables on the table.
Pricing & pace
Typical detached home sold price (line) against days on market (bars), last 24 months.
The grey bars are how long homes take to sell; generally, when they shrink, the price line rises. Right now Marlborough is selling faster than the seasonal norm (a 3-month median of 16 days versus 23 days historically for this time of year). Historically, high liquidity and low supply have preceded upward pressure on prices.
