Open Houses today: two of Marblehead’s Unknown Oceanfront Properties
There are Open Houses today for two of Marblehead’s Unknown Oceanfront Properties, the term I have coined to describe the area from Preston Beach to Beach Street. It is “unknown” because a lot of the houses are at the end of dead end streets, down which many people have never passed.
Today’s Open Houses are a perfect beach house, with jaw-dropping views, directly on Goldthwait Beach at 46 Gallison Avenue from 12:00-1:30 and a beautifully restored 1850 house with carriage house at 11 Crown Way from 12:30-2:00. Both websites contain videos of the properties.

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.
