The Westfield Area Market Report for May 2019 showed that we are seeing a repeat of 2018 trends in the area. Senior homeowners listed their properties in search of a less expensive environment. Meanwhile, investors came in looking for ways to buy cheap and sell high. That meant more homes on the market in May. When supply runs high, sales get a little sluggish. When sales slow down, sellers begin to reduce prices. Then, buyers wait for those price reductions before they pounce. This creates a vicious cycle.

Active Westfield Luxury Homes for Sale – May 2019
According to the Garden State MLS, 43 luxury Westfield homes hit the market in May 2019. Fifteen of them were newly constructed/completed homes. That included a custom colonial with a modern farmhouse design on Sandy Hill Rd. that just came on the market yesterday. Another recently completed custom colonial with that farmhouse design that seems so on trend right now was listed just two days ago on Oak Tree Pass. Two Savannah condos came up for sale within the last ten days. And you know those won’t last long. And just 11 days ago, the owner of a recently renovated 1938 Cape Cod at 200 Wyoming listed the property for sale. Fifteen more properties came up for sale within the last 30 days. If you’re interested in seeing any of these properties in person, please contact me.
