Salem Mid-Year 2024 Market Review
The median price of the SFHs sold in Salem in the first half of 2024 reached new highs – again – while the number of sales dropped, especially in Q2.
The median price of the Condos sold also rose, while sales were steady with the 2023 level.
Overall, 55% of Q1 sales and 70% of Q2 sales were over List Price

The median Price per Sq.Ft. can fluctuate Quarter to Quarter, but was consistent with the PSF in the second half of 2023 for SFHs and higher for Condos.
Sales continued at a brisk pace, reflecting both the shortage of supply and the continuing demand. (more…)
Salem Q1 2024 Market Summary
The median price of the SFHs sold in Salem in Q1 reached another new high – but the number of sales is usually the lowest of the year and, therefore, the median price is not necessarily an indicator of where median prices will end for the whole year.
The median price of the Condos sold was a little lower than last year, while sales were in line.

The median Price per Sq.Ft. can fluctuate Quarter to Quarter. Sales continued at a brisk pace, reflecting both the shortage of supply and the continuing demand.
(DTO- Days To Offer – the number of before an accepted offer is received.)

SALEM 2023 MARKET REPORT and 5-YEAR REVIEW
The many attractions of Salem continue to attract buyers, especially younger buyers moving out of Boston. Perhaps surprisingly in a time when mortgage rates have more than doubled, sales have continued to be brisk, and in every month in 2023 from April onwards more than 50% of sales have taken place over list price.
Fluctuations in median prices can and do occur from quarter to quarter, based upon those properties which actually sell in any quarter, which is why the trend is more important than the exact numbers.
If you are thinking of selling, please contact me for a current market analysis for your property.

The median price of the Condos sold increased by 37% from $355,000 in 2019 to $485,000 in 2023. Sales started to fall in the second half of 2022 and were also down sharply in 2023.
