Hot Markets in Massachusetts
I'm just curious what the hot areas are in Massachusetts from Worcester county and eastward. I know that is a broad area so maybe I should ask which counties are the hottest in MA.
Hi @Andrew Boucher ,
Would you elaborate on this a little? Everything is hot in today's market, except for a few less desirable towns.
What are you trying to do?
As mentioned pretty much everywhere is hot right now. Homes are flying off the market quickly. Maybe what you are looking for is a town that is on the rise? Their are quite a few that going through major changes that will only increase value in the coming years
Hi Andrew, What areas are you looking in? Any property that is a good deal will be off the market rather quickly.. Are you looking for multi famlies?
Well since it sounds like everything is hot maybe I will re-phrase and say which towns in MA should I avoid or are least desirable?
@Andrew Boucher, we could probably help a little better if we knew what you're trying to do. Some of the less desirable areas are generally with high crime rates. Or to view it from a different angle, I'm yet to see a not so desirable area with good school ratings. So if you're looking for a nice town, look for school ratings. I'd say 7+ is really good: 5-6 may be still good.
A few examples (and even some of these towns have more desirable areas, but in general they are not as desirable due to high crime rates): Fitchburg, New Bedford, Taunton, part of Worcester.
