december 2013: Homes sold in Norwell - December 2013 - 01/21/14 08:29 AM

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. With sales happening promptly and at higher prices (and higher prices per square foot), sellers are in a strong position. 
Buyers with a pre-approval in hand will be in a good position to act, if … (5 comments)

december 2013: Homes sold in Plymouth - December 2013 - 01/19/14 11:21 AM

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)

december 2013: Homes sold in Hingham - December 2013 - 01/13/14 03:48 AM
Hingham cleared out the inventory in December! Most of the homes that had been contingent or under agreement in the prior month were sold, only four homes came on the market, and 19 homes sold in December. With just four sales above $1 million, the averages are down a bit, but homes are selling very fast and for most of their asking prices.
Contrast this with the market last month, during which sellers took significant price concessions to make the transactions happen. Sellers this month didn't make significant concessions, so these homes were priced properly from the beginning. Sellers whose homes have been … (3 comments)

december 2013: Homes sold in Cohasset - December 2013 - 01/08/14 07:50 AM
The pace of home sales in Cohasset, Massachusetts, was sleepy during December, and the average sales price was down, since there weren't as many million-dollar sales as there have been most months in 2013.
There is still a backlog of properties that are under agreement or have contingent deals. Total inventory is quite low, by historical standards.

december 2013: Luxury Homes Sold on the South Shore - December 2013 - 01/06/14 10:18 AM
The luxury sector represents the top 10% of homes by price in the South Shore Massachusetts real estate market: homes with a sales price of $1.25 million or more.

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)
