Houses selling in days as inventory reaches record tightness in Newton

If you want to buy a house in Newton, good luck. Two years ago, local realtors bemoaned the tightness of the housing market with only 70 homes up for sale. Today there’s 32 homes not under contract in the city of nearly 20,000. For context, there’s 8,237 units in Newton. “I get hit up and people say there’s an awful lot of (for sale) signs up,” local realtor Arlan Newell of J.P. Weigand said. “Well, half of them are sold.”
