Marblehead 2019 Property Tax rate drops to $10.74
Marblehead’s Fiscal Year 2019 (July 1, 2018-June 30, 2019) tax rate has been certified by the State at $10.74, a drop of 2.5% from $11.02 in 2018, and the lowest rate since 2012. The median tax bill will increase by 1.7%, or $121, to $6,766. As a reminder, the tax rate for FY’19 is calculated using 2017 prices. 2018 prices will be the basis for the FY 2020 tax calculation.
I will publish a detailed explanation of how the tax is calculated next week. (here it is: How is Marblehead’s 2019 Tax Rate calculated?). When they are available, I shall also publish a table of the tax rates for each of the 34 cities and towns in Essex County.

Essex County: town by town guide to Median Prices
This table shows median prices for the full years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and median prices and sales for the first 9 months of 2017. Note that a small number of sales can lead to price fluctuations, as in Nahant, Essex Town and Wenham amongst others. In general, the larger the number of sales, the more reliable is the median price.
While the overall median price in Essex County was $460,000, only 12 of the 34 cities and towns had median prices below this level, while 22 had median prices above $440,000. The reason for this is that the median price for the the County is calculated by taking all individual property sales, and many of the towns with a large number of sales are in communities with lower prices.
Calculating the median price for Essex County using towns rather than individual sales produces a median price of $543,975.
If you – or somebody you know – are considering buying or selling a home and have questions about the market and/or current home prices, please contact Andrew Oliver on 617.834.8205 or Kathleen Murphy on 603.498.6817.
