Single Family Homes (SFH)

As the percentage of sales over $750,000 increased from 50% YTD in 2020 to 68% 2021, so the median price moved from right on $750,000 in 2020 to $849,000 in 2021. Sales over $1 million increased from 47 to 56, with 6 sales over $3 million vs 2 in 2020.

Comment
In the first 9 months of the year the median price of SFHs sold in Essex County increased 14.2% to $609,000, while the median Condo price increased 10.2% to $385,000.
The median SFH price in Essex County declined from Q2 to Q3 (but not in Swampscott), while the median Condo price increased slightly. While quarter to quarter fluctuations are common, these numbers confirm the anecdotal reports that the frenetic activity earlier in the year eased somewhat in Q3.
After a short rally above 3% early in the year, the national average cost of a 30-year Fixed-Rate Mortgage (FRM) quickly dropped back below 3% before rallying back to 3% in October.
