Marblehead Unknown Oceanfront Open Houses
Between the entrance to Marblehead at Preston Beach and the turn to Marblehead Neck, there is a stretch of unknown oceanfront which contains 44 houses with Assessed values of $2 million or more.
Last year in an article Marblehead sale over $4 million – guess where? I wrote this:
“There are a lot of small streets that lead to the water and have 1 or 2 or maybe 3 or 4 houses sitting directly on the ocean at the end. And for the most part these houses sit on the rocky Atlantic coast and are high enough that flooding is not a concern, while many of them face South, have great views of Ram Island and down the coastline, and are well protected from the nor’easters that can impact more exposed areas.”
In 2014 I identified 29 houses with an AV of $2 million or more but now there are 44, as values are increasing in this area.
People who live in this area know its attractions, which may be why houses rarely come on the market.

What’s the current supply of houses for sale locally?
This report sets out to analyze the current supply of houses for sale in Marblehead, Swampscott and Salem.
Single Family Homes (SFH)
First, let’s look at sales so far this year to May 20. The pace of sales is slower in winter so these numbers overstate the supply. Bear in mind that a market is generally regarded as being in equilibrium between buyers and sellers when there is 6 months of supply.
Next I looked at recent activity, namely the number of SFHs which had offers accepted since the beginning of April and compared that with current supply. April, May and June are generally the three largest months for accepted offers in these markets, so these numbers may slightly understate supply going forward, but they provide a stark indication of how little supply there is today, especially in Swampscott and Salem:

Condos
While sales numbers for SFHs are similar for the three towns, they are very different for condos, where only Salem has a large market. Thus the supply number for Salem is more significant than for the other towns:
Turning to accepted offers since the beginning of April, the supply drops sharply in all markets. Note that in Salem there have been 47 accepted offers so far in May alone and there are just 61 for sale.
Source: MLS, Oliver Reports
Comment
This report quantifies just how short of supply the market is, especially in Swampscott and Salem. And bear in mind that these numbers are for the total market; at lower prices there is even less supply, as higher priced properties generally take longer to sell.
The supply numbers are somewhat better in Marblehead where there is some evidence that list prices of SFHs have increased this year, possibly in advance of the market.

Marblehead says no to assisted living facility: a pyrrhic victory?
To the surprise of many, after several months of discussions and modifications, and after approval was granted by the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to deny the application to build the proposed Mariner assisted living facility. I do not have the expertise to comment on many aspects of this decision, but I can ask the question: will this decision prove to be a pyrrhic victory* for the neighbors? Or, in the words of the editorial in this week’s Marblehead Reporter: “Be careful what you wish for.” (more…)
A look at “history-rich” Marblehead
The Boston Globe’s history-rich Marblehead article highlight’s the town’s maritime history:
“It was described in 1660 as New England’s greatest fishing town due to massive cod stocks off its coast. A hundred years later, the town arguably begat the Navy, building and manning the schooners that George Washington used to hobble British transport ships in 1775.
Today, Marblehead has yet another maritime claim to fame, as one of the world’s yachting capitals.”

I do have a few quibbles with the article:
– It quotes the average selling price of a SFH in 2013 (why 2013?) as $526,000. I prefer to use median sales price, which in 2013 was $535,000, while the average sales price was $661,000. More pertinently, the median sales price in 2015 was $596,000 (and the average $754,000).
– The article repeats the old saw about Marblehead being inaccessible. One of the big advances in recent years – unnoticed by those who do not venture north from Boston – is the opening of the Ted Williams Tunnel which gives easier access to the Financial District and Cambridge, and greatly shortens the trip to the Cape or South Shore.
But I have no quibble with these comments:
“It’s hard to find a town more steeped in history than Marblehead”
“Despite being only about 16 miles from Boston, this yachting mecca has a somewhat island-time vibe.”
“What’s not high? The town’s property tax rate ($11.09 per $1,000 of assessed value, one of the North Shore’s lowest) — and your stress level when you take in Marblehead’s ocean views.”

How much are houses in Marblehead selling for?
The data I maintain on home sales is useful but, since sales can take 2-3 months to complete from the date an offer is accepted, they do not provide as current a picture of the market as accepted offers. This article covers month by month this year the listing prices of houses in Marblehead where the seller has accepted an offer, together with the Days on Market (the number of days since the house was listed for sale) of the current inventory. Read my comments at the end of the post.

Note that 54% of offers were on houses under $600,000.
And here is the month by month breakdown:

Comment
The median price for a SFH home in Marblehead last year was $596,500 and the median list price for the 76 houses that have received offers this year through April is $599,000. Often the early and late months see more sales at the lower levels, so we will get a clearer idea of actual pricing trends as we get the number for the first half of the year, but it is interesting to note that as of today the median price of the 51 recorded sales in Marblehead this year is $596,000.
The market in Marblehead is active, with well-priced and well-presented homes selling quickly, but it is not running away, as shown by the fact that the the 76 SFHs for sale have been on the market for an average of 3 months.
