[Click here to download a copy of this report.]

Single Family Homes (SFH)
After increasing by almost 25% over the three previous year, the median price of the SFHs sold in 2018 was virtually unchanged from 2017. Of note was the consistency of pricing throughout the year. Sales continued to decline from the 2016 peak.

Condos
The median price of condos sold in recent years has been distorted by the 65 sales at Elliott Landing, with a median price over $500,000, between Q4 2016 and Q3 2017. Since then the median price has mostly been in the $280,000-290,000 range.

February 20, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in By The Numbers Posts, Essex County Housing News, Market Reports

Town of Essex 2016 Housing Market By The Numbers

February 18, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in By The Numbers Posts, Market Reports

Single Family Homes (SFH)
While sales in the town of Essex set a new record in 2016, the third year that they exceeded 40 units, the overall number was still quite small.

Town of Essex housing market

In a market with a small number of sales and a wide range in types of property – from seasonal summer cottages to waterfront farms – the median price can fluctuate quite widely depending upon the mix of sales in any year. For example, sales over $500,000 jumped from 7 in 2003 to 22 in 2005 before dropping to just 4 and 6 in 2009 and 2010.; and the number dropped again in 2016 to 19 from 24 in 2015. Overall, the median price has fluctuated around the $500,000 mark in recent years. (more…)
