Charlestown Home Sale Update March 2016
The Charlestown RI home sale market in March 2016 is having a pullback in real estate sales over the prior month with sales down by 27%. As you look back at the home sales in Charlestown for 2016 as compared to 2015 (comparing the first three months of the years), it shows a 9% increase in number of home sales year over year. Home sold values have decreased by 2% over 2015 so far this year. The home value drop is due to the lack of higher end homes not selling well yet for this community.
Home buyers need to be ready, willing and able to buy on homes especially in the under $300,000 price range. Sellers do call me now as I have buyers waiting for homes to buy in the under $300,000 price range. We are moving forward to the late spring market and the right priced home inventory is lacking. This Charlestown RI real estate market update is provided by Ginny Lacey Gorman of RI coastal real estate.
Furthermore, home buyers have indicated they want well priced homes that need little updating. There are five factors that will sell your home in the best manner so understand them. Ensuring that you price and stage your home properly is certainly key.
Ensure you work with a real estate professional who knows the real estate area well that you are buying into. When 
you have the Atlantic Ocean at many oceanfront doorsteps, home prices can be in the higher range.
This is a mixture of a waterfront and rural community living depending upon your location desire for Charlestown RI homes. It is wonderful to be able to have that choice in this RI town.
Charlestown RI homes sold for the month of March are down 27% over the prior month and this is due to lack of inventory and winter here.
No $1 million and over Charlestown homes sold this month. The average per square foot cost of all sold Charlestown homes in 2016 is $278 per square foot. As they say, oceanfront and waterfront are always in high demand. Consider buying now for yourself or for generations to come and buying as an extended family. It is a great way to spend family time together by the coast.
Home buyers are actively seeking good property values and lower priced affordable homes with the town’s lower real estate taxes. This makes Charlestown a highly desirable community to buy into.
