If you are an active buyer in the Boston real estate market, it is no news to you that we are experiencing the **[lowest inventory](http://blog.charlesgaterealty.com/boston-monthly-real-estate-market-report/)** that the Boston Real Estate Market has seen since 2004. Many buyers have been waiting for this week to come – in hope that many potential sellers would list their home for sale after Labor Day weekend. Fall market, anyone?

We’ve seen a 6.6% increase in the number of condos listed for sale in Boston this week.  Good sign? Hopefully!

It is still a bit of a goose chase trying to find a decent, appropriately priced property, not to mention one that meets all of a buyer’s preferences. If you’re curious, check out your price range below in this graph showing the number of Boston condos on market by price range. Interesting stuff.

Buyers who have learned the market and know to act quick when the right home pops up are taking advantage of the [recovering prices](http://blog.charlesgaterealty.com/boston-monthly-real-estate-market-report/) and absurdly low [mortgage rates](http://blog.charlesgaterealty.com/mortgage-rate-quotes/) to lock in a great deal.  We’re doing our part trying to keep you [educated](http://blog.charlesgaterealty.com/boston-homebuying-class) and aware of the hot deals on the market each week.
