Blustery day – perfect to see this house on Goldthwait Beach

September 3, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in Marblehead News, Market Reports

Many buyers of oceanfront homes expect the best days to be those of summer. But after living on the ocean for a while, owners discover that the best days are those with storms – provided, of course, the house is well protected. There is no storm forecast today, but it is blustery – enough to see the beauty and might of a lively ocean.

There is an Open House today 12:30-2:30 at 46 Gallison Avenue (the website includes a video of the property – and of the views.)

Can you imagine living here and waking up to this (well maybe not today?)

and then this (the sun should be back out in time for this)

Marblehead: New England’s Best-Kept Seaside Secret

September 3, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in Marblehead News, Market Reports

“People come here on vacation, but I get to live here year round”, was a comment made to me by a buyer of a home in Marblehead at closing.

As the world becomes seemingly ever more hectic, so more people are discovering the charms and delights of Marblehead. Include Vogue magazine in this list following the publication of a Marblehead guide in the latest edition. Here is the first paragraph:

“Many New England folk look to Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Martha’s Vineyard for their summer weekend escapes—and with good reason. But there’s a new destination to consider if you’re on the hunt for a getaway that’s every bit as charming with a fraction of the fuss and crowds: Marblehead is a quaint seaside town just 30 minutes north of Boston that has yet to be discovered. It’s not only an idyllic beach getaway, but with its laid-back New England vibe and a history dating all the way back to the American Revolution, there’s plenty to keep you busy (but also plenty of places to hide away from it all . . . if you so choose).”

Another $5.8 million sale in Marblehead

And this week a house was listed at a fraction under $3 million and received an offer within 2 days.

Marblehead Inventory plummets

September 2, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in Marblehead News, Market Reports

The number of Single Family Homes (SFH) for sale in Marblehead on September 1 is 52, down by one-third from last year and by nearly a half from 2015.

Marblehead Inventory

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.

Marblehead inventory

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.
