The Gardner MA real estate market report indicates that there were 122 homes sold in 2009 as compared to 109 in 2008. This represents a 12% increase in the number of homes sold. The average sales price changed from $169777 in 2008 to $152170 in 2009, a 10% decrease in value. The days on market changed -14 % from 187 to 161.

Gardner is in a remote area of Massachusetts and a long commute to the major employment centers.  The job market and foreclosure rate has had a major impact on the market.  The housing statistics represent a market dominated by the entry level.  The low interest rates
and the tax credit incentives did stimulate the first time homebuyer market.  All other segments of the market remained dormant and contributed to the decrease in average sales prices.

The dramatic decrease in values is due to the foreclosure and short sale market which is prevalent in this market segment. Investors were buying at deep discounts and financing issues contributed to the lack of sales and lower prices.
