Housing Increase Massachusetts Home Sales Up in April  

Homes sales and prices have seen an increase in  Massachusetts this spring.  According to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors® (MAR) sales in April in the state experienced near-record increases in April compared to last year. 

The continuation of historically-low interest rates has certainly fueled the housing market in Massachusetts and the big push of buyers getting in on the tax credit last month also helped to move buyers off of the fence. 

Following 23 straight months of declines, inventory of single-family homes as well as condos also increased for the second straight month.

Locally, in the Metrowest area, the average sale price for the month of April increased in most towns.  

  • Ashland home sales last month were 14 with an average sale price of $389,832 over last year's 10 sales with an average sale price of $364,840. 
  • Hopkinton home sales last month were 10 with an average sale price of $481,958 compared to last year's 15 sales with an average sale price of $421,033.  
  • Holliston home sales last month were 8 with an average sale price of $376,363 compared to 9 last year at an average sale price of $362,617. 
  • Southborough saw a big increase last month with 11 sales at an average of $802,091 over last April with 6 sales with an average sale price of $355,867. 
  • Natick sales experienced a slight decrease last month from the previous year with 14 sales at an average sale price of $414,129 compared to last April's 15 sales at an average sale price of $449,060.

Claudette -- what a great report.  However, it seem to direcly contradict the recently released Case Shiller report .. and I think it makes it very confusing for buyers and sellers.

While we may not be completely out of the woods just yet, these numbers are certainly encouraging. Let's all hope this trend continues!

Claudette, I am anxiously waiting for the May numbers, it appears that in the Gettysburg market things have slowed down since the tax credit is over. Time will tell...
