What this means for a buyer
This chart shows how many home purchases actually finished in a city or town each week. A steady stream of closings usually means buyers have recent comparable sales to help them judge value. It also gives you a sense of how large and active the local market is for the property type you selected.
A rise or drop is a reason to look more closely, not a conclusion by itself. Closings typically reflect offers accepted several weeks earlier, and holidays or month-end scheduling can make individual weeks unusually high or low. A smaller town may also have few closings even when buyer competition is strong.
Use this chart to understand transaction activity, then consider prices, available inventory, sale-to-list ratios, and price reductions before deciding whether buyers have more or less negotiating room.

The axis shows every other month to keep the year-long view readable. Weeks run Monday through Sunday. Hover over or tap the chart to see the exact period and closing count for each selected town. Closings are grouped by the recorded settlement date. Only Massachusetts listings of the selected property type reported as sold are included. The chart currently covers 342 cities and towns with at least one closing during the period.
About this data
A closing is counted in the week containing its settlement date. These figures describe completed transactions, not current buyer demand or the number of homes available for sale. MLS records can be corrected after a transaction is initially reported, so totals may change in later updates.
