Salem Mid-Year 2024 Market Review
The median price of the SFHs sold in Salem in the first half of 2024 reached new highs – again – while the number of sales dropped, especially in Q2.
The median price of the Condos sold also rose, while sales were steady with the 2023 level.
Overall, 55% of Q1 sales and 70% of Q2 sales were over List Price
The median Price per Sq.Ft. can fluctuate Quarter to Quarter, but was consistent with the PSF in the second half of 2023 for SFHs and higher for Condos.
Sales continued at a brisk pace, reflecting both the shortage of supply and the continuing demand. (more…)
Swampscott Mid-Year 2024 Market Review
The median price of the SFHs sold in Swampscott in the first half of 2024 dropped from 2023, while sales were similar to last year’s level.
The small number of Condo sales took place between $450,000 and $3.3 million.
In Q2, 57% of all sales took place over List Price.
The median Price per Sq.Ft. can fluctuate Quarter to Quarter, but was similar overall in H1 2024 compared with 2023.
The pace of sales slowed a little in Q1 before speeding up again in Q2. (more…)

Why Mortgage Rates will fall in 2024
The Federal Reserve’s Analysis Paralysis
In November 2023, I wrote: “The question now is whether the Federal Reserve, having been extremely slow to start raising rates and reversing Quantitative Easing, will be similarly late in easing (rates).
