SFH Inventory by price
Not surprisingly, the biggest declines in inventory are at the lowest price levels, but there are still significant declines at virtually every price level.

Median Price
Strong demand, low mortgage rates and low supply continue to drive prices upwards. The median price of a SFH in Marblehead for the first 8 months of the year was $654,000, up 75.5% from the year 2016 figure of $620,000, the first time the median price reached $600,000. Unless and until the supply position changes, and while the economy continues to grow steadily, there is no reason to expect a change in the formula which is driving prices higher.
