Swampscott Oceanfront sale eclipses previous record
The sale of 25 Rockyledge Road in Swampscott closed this week at $7.7. million, nearly double the price of the previous highest MLS sale in Swampscott – the house next door – which sold in 2013 for $3.95 million.
25 Rockyledge is a one of a kind house – at a one of a kind price.
But agents are reporting that there has been a lot of activity at the higher end recently, a good sign as we head into spring.

Housing Inventory drops even further: a breakdown by price
This will come as no surprise to anybody who has been looking for a home to buy, but the number of both Single Family Homes (SFH) and Condos for sale throughout the North Shore, Essex County and Massachusetts as a whole has continued to drop, in many cases sharply, from already low levels a year ago.
First, I’ll show the percentage declines in the different market, followed by a detailed breakdown of inventory by price (note that the percentage change shown in the tables is from 2017 to 2018).
In line with the principle of shopping locally, I will start with 5 North Shore towns, followed by Essex County and Massachusetts.
Marblehead
Swampscott
Salem
Beverly
Lynn
Essex County
