Boston 77, Marblehead 1

· by · in , , ,

I came across this very good, short video from Properties in the Hub (www.PropertiesintheHub.com) describing the Boston condo market this year: Boston Condo Sales

In the first half of 2013 there were 55 condo sales in Boston at $2 million and above. There were also 22 SFH sales at that level, making 77 total sales of SFHs and Condos $2 million and above in H1 2013.

In Marblehead, there was just 1 sale above $2 million during that time frame.

I have commented before about how puzzling it is to me that the higher end in Marblehead and indeed the North Shore generally has not seen the increased activity enjoyed elsewhere.

This video has encouraged me to look at what has been happening throughout Massachusetts in the higher end, with particular emphasis on the Counties surrounding Boston: Middlesex, Norfolk and Essex. I have detected a clear anomaly in the last year or so but want to go back and check the date before I publish the results. Stay tuned.
