In the towns that my offices serve, we have not found the same results as all of Massachusetts.  In Spencer and the Brookfields, although home sale volumn is up by 10%, ave home sale price is down slighlty.

In Sturbridge and surrounding areas home sale units are up about 30% and average home sale prices have increased as well.

Shrewsbury has seen the greatest increase in average home sales in my market area, and volumn is up as well.
