Single Family Homes (SFH)
After 8 consecutive quarters in 2017-18 in the $450,000-$475,000 range, the median price of Single Family Homes (SFH) sold in the first 9 months of 2019 (YTD Q3) jumped 10.3% to $520,000. Sales, however, were the lowest since 2012.

Condos
The median condo price YTD jumped 18.1% to $339,000, but was similar to the 2017 level of $340,000. While the drop in 2017 was caused by the end of sales at Elliott Landing, the increase in 2019 in both median price and sales seems to be more a reflection of strong buying interest in Beverly generally rather than any one new development.

Single Family Homes (SFH)
After increasing by almost 25% over the three previous year, the median price of the SFHs sold in 2018 was virtually unchanged from 2017. Of note was the consistency of pricing throughout the year. Sales continued to decline from the 2016 peak.

Condos
The median price of condos sold in recent years has been distorted by the 65 sales at Elliott Landing, with a median price over $500,000, between Q4 2016 and Q3 2017. Since then the median price has mostly been in the $280,000-290,000 range.

Beverly Housing Market Mid-Year 2018 Review

July 29, 2018 · by Andrew Oliver · in Beverly Housing Market, Market Reports

Click here to download a PDF of this report.

The median price of the Single Family Homes(SFH) sold in Beverly in the first half of 2018 was slightly lower than in 2017, a year which saw a sharp increase.
Beverly Housing Market

Since breaking $400,000 in 2015, the median price has increased sharply, with the usual quarterly fluctuations.

Beverly Housing Market

SFH Sales
Sales were in line with recent years.

Beverly Housing Market

SFH Sales by price
The percentage of sales under $400,000 was 44% in 2016 and 25% in both 2017 and  2018.

Beverly Housing Market

SFH For Sale
The biggest drop in inventory is in the $600,000-$1 million range, where the number for sale has dropped from 21 in 2016 to just 7 in 2018.

Beverly Housing Market

Condos
The apparent roller-coaster in the median price is explained by the development at Elliot Landing. Between Q3 2016 and Q2 2017, some 50 condos sold at a median price in excess of $500,000. The end of such sales has returned the median price to under $300,000.

Beverly Housing Market

Beverly Housing Market

Condo Sales
Note that the number of sales over $500,000 dropped from 26 in 2017 to just 2 in 2018, reflecting the completion of sales at Elliott Landing

Beverly Housing Market

Condos for sale
There is a similar story with condos for sale, with the number over $500,000 dropping from 28 in 2016 to 6 in 2018.

Beverly Housing Market

Summary
The pattern of SFH sales was very similar in the first half of both 2017 and 2018, coming after the market has been strong in recent years, especially since breaking through the $400,000 barrier.
Significant new developments in Essex County are usually of condominiums and usually for higher-priced units than the existing stock, which is why the median price can be distorted during times of large numbers of new sales. We saw this in Beverly with Elliott Landing and the same phenomenon is occurring now in Swampscott with the sales of condos at The Avery.

Beverly 2017 Housing Market Review

January 28, 2018 · by Andrew Oliver · in Beverly Housing Market, Market Reports

(Click here to download a copy of this report).

The price of the SFHs sold in Beverly in 2017 rose 6.9% to a new high of $470,000, taking the two-year gain to 16.5%. As with many markets, sales were down, reflecting the shortage of inventory.

Beverly Housing Market

OliverReports.com

The impact of rising prices can be seen in the huge drop in sales under $400,000 and increases above that price.

Beverly Housing Market

Condos
The median price of the condos sold in Beverly in 2017 increased nearly 15%, breaking through $300,000 for the first time. The biggest factor was that in late 2016 and the first 9 months of 2017 there were some 65 sales in MLS at Elliott Landing at a median price of just over $500,000.

Beverly Mid-Year Review: By The Numbers

July 29, 2017 · by Andrew Oliver · in Beverly Housing Market

Beverly is seeing a lot of new construction, particularly in the condo market, and as new construction is generally of higher-priced properties, this construction moves the median price of homes sold upwards.

The median price of a Single Family Home (SFH) increased 8%, while sales dropped back from the 2016 level.

Beverl;y Mid-Year Housing Review

Oliver Reports, MLS

The most significant factor affecting the condo market in the last year has been the new Elliott Landing development of 73 higher-priced condos – of which just 6 remain for sale. The impact of Elliott Landing was evident in the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017.

While the median price of all condos sold soared 17%, the increase would have been a still strong 11% without the impact of 25 sales at the new Elliott Landing. (more…)

Beverly Mid-Year Housing Review: 9% price increase

July 17, 2016 · by Andrew Oliver · in Beverly Housing Market, Market Reports

After breaking through the $400,000 level for the median price* of a Single Family Home (SFH) in 2015 for the first time, the first half of 2016 saw a sharp 9% increase to a new high of $438,250.

In my Q1 review I wrote:”The median SFH price in Beverly is around $400,000. A year ago there were 19 houses available below this level, but today there are just 7. A similar pattern is seen in condos, where the median price is around $250,000. The number of condos for sale below this level is half that of a year ago.”

The reduction in inventory of lower-priced houses continues and is detailed later in this report. At some point, when demand exists as it does today, the lack of inventory at lower prices will translate into higher prices, as it now has in Beverly.

Low inventory + low mortgage rates + buyers looking = higher prices.

The condo market has also seen shrinkage in inventory at lower prices, although as yet this has produced only a 4% increase in the median price. (more…)
