Rutland Area Real Estate Market Review

Rutland Area Real Estate Market Review

How does this year compare to how the market was last year at this time?

—–> 2017 YTD vs. 2016 January 1st to October 25th <—–

So far 74 homes have closed this year which is 2 more homes that sold for the same time period last year!  With almost 30 properties still pending and over two months left in the year, the Rutland area is showing signs of having a great year and that more and more people are moving to the town.

New construction homes seem to be picking up in town as the lack of inventory still hasn’t caught up to the buyers demand.

Although people are buying, those houses that are currently on the market have been for about 114 days on average which is just a slight improvement over last year.  There are a lot of factors that come into play with this number; is the home distressed?  Does it not show very well?  Is it being marketed correctly? And the biggest one – Is it priced right?

The homes that have sold, however, were on the market an amazing 50% less days on market than those that sold last year!!  The average sales price has increased by almost 4% bringing the average price up to $313,891 vs $302,150 at this time last year.

Town Spotlight on Rutland: A bedroom community with history

The Township of Rutland was confirmed on February 23, 1713 and became incorporated in 1722.  The Town of Rutland (current population 8,800) is a beautiful residential hill town in the geographic center of Massachusetts.  It is lous-marutcated 13 miles northwest of Worcester and 52 miles west of Boston.  At 1,200 feet above sea level, Rutland has the highest elevation of any community between the Berkshires and the Atlantic Ocean.

Known for its clean air, the town grew as a health resort center in the 1880’s.  During the onslaught of tuberculosis, Rutland became famous for its health care industry and fresh air living environment.  This industry continued until 1991 when the last of the health care facilities closed its doors.

Rutland is now basically a bedroom community with many of its residents commuting to Boston and Springfield on a daily basis.  Rutland has a true small New England town feel and hosts many annual community events including a town wide 4th of July celebration with parade and its Annual Festival of Trees during the holidays. Rutland and the surrounding areas are also well known for their “greenways” including access to the Midstate Trail.

Best places to eat in Rutland

Things have been hectic around here.  Business has been very busy and every so often we lose track of time.  We work a full day at the office or out on appointments and then come home and sit on the couch on the computer sending emails and following up with clients.  Next thing you know, its dark in the house, the dogs are pacing back and forth, the kids are complaining they are hungry, you look at the clock and its already 7:00pm.  Best of all, nothing was taken out of the freezer to defrost for dinner.  Sooo its a quick call to order a pizza!  I have Toula’s House of Pizza on speed dial so I dont even have to think about it.  Just dial, order, pick up and eat.  Simple.
