Home prices in Greater Boston......

Everyone is wondering (well almost everyone, at least everyone is curious) about home prices in Greater Boston.

Thanks to Boston Magazines analysis of the local statistics, we have what is going on in your town/city. It is no news that prices are up, up, up! Where are they going you might ask? I have no crystal ball or any more insight into the future then you do but, to hazard a guess, I would say UP, for the time being anyway. This meas it is a great time to sell, sell, sell!.... 

Buying you ask?............ I would rather skip this part, but I will say this, for as you are well aware, there is not enough inventory on the market and with the prices of homes going up, it is hard for the buyer to find a home. 
All is not lost though! As long as your Realtor knows the market, is able to counsel you through the offer process and does not try to sell you some kind of gold at the end of the rainbow kind of fallacy. Then you will be able to sit back and relax after closing on your new home..... Okey, who has time to relax with all there is to do these days! Well anyway, at least you can run around you new home and know that it is yours.

Here is a list of single family home prices in Greater Boston. And if you are looking to see what are has the best schools, Dover and Sherborn top the list. Also, see the % change in the past 10 years, wow, prices are up, up, up !

This Month in Real Estate, May 2014


As we approach the selling season we see that the market may be leveling out (we will have to hope and pray). The interest rates are balancing after a slight dip. This means that This Month in Real Estate is ready for your viewing. 


 


Live, Laugh, Love your new home!
