- 12/12/13 02:19 AM

Buyers with a pre-approval in hand will be in a good position to act when a properly-priced home they are interested in purchasing comes on the market. 7 single-family homes sold … (9 comments)

market report: Homes sold in Hingham - November 2013
- 12/10/13 10:45 AM
In Hingham, the real estate market remains quite warm, with statistics returning to their trend levels after unusual conditions last month. Prices, both sales prices and prices paid per square foot, are up about 10% since last year at this time. Sales are steady. No home that sold was on the market for seven months, and most sold in less than five months. Sellers took significant price concessions from their original prices to make the transactions happen, but they did happen. This is just a generalization and a guess, but it seems as though some sellers are motivated to sell now, … (5 comments)

Quite a few homes are selling for more than $200 per square foot. There are few bidding wars, and no full price sales, but homes are selling steadily and fairly quickly overall.

Here's an interesting chart. Duxury prices never went below their 2002 levels, on a per square foot basis, and have been meandering around that level for the past three or four years. Our town has a median price above $600,000. That's been pretty steady for the past few years also. One thing this graph implies is that when you use a good Realtor in Duxbury, he or she will have quite a bit of reliable, steady data to inform your pricing decision. If you, as a seller, are willing to … (4 comments)
