Norwell, Massachusetts, has become a surging little market on the South Shore over the past year. December was better than a year ago, and all the numbers have been moving in the direction of sellers' advantage most of the year. Many market watchers and professional participants expect a substantial number of homes to come on the market this spring but, for the time being, there aren't many available.

Buyers with a pre-approval in hand will be in a good position to act, if (5 comments)
In Plymouth, Massachusetts, sales were steady in December 2013 compared to December 2012, but the prices were lower than average, when compared to November, last December and the second half of 2012. December is often a tough month from which to draw conclusions, since year-end and seasonal patterns tend to obscure longer-term trends and create other anomalies. Nevertheless, there was a drawdown in the number of homes available at the same time that the number of days on market fell. Together with the other data, this indicates a market that is beginning to favor sellers, even though that advantage has (4 comments)

Sellers this month didn't make significant concessions, so these homes were priced properly from the beginning. Sellers whose homes have been (3 comments)

The luxury homes sector is up 26% year-over-year, based on the number of sales. While the low number of sales is typical of this time of year, the anomalous characteristics of any single sale can have an exaggerated effect on the averages, rendering the monthly comparison with the longer term less useful. In particular, one $6.75 million sale pulled up the averages for the other four sales, which were all between (4 comments)
