Two Marblehead Oceanfront Houses on the Atlantic
Last year in an article Marblehead sale over $4 million – guess where? I wrote this:
“There are a lot of small streets that lead to the water and have 1 or 2 or maybe 3 or 4 houses sitting directly on the ocean at the end. And for the most part these houses sit on the rocky Atlantic coast and are high enough that flooding is not a concern, while many of them face South, have great views of Ram Island and down the coastline, and are well protected from the nor’easters that can impact more exposed areas.”
Today there is an Open House from 12:00 – 1:30 at 46 Gallison Avenue.
This house works perfectly as a summer/weekend “beach house”, but don’t be mislead by the term “beach house” – it is a fully insulated, year round house.
The house sits on a lot of almost 14,000 sf, and there is room to expand the house upwards and outwards.
A little further down the coast, in the Clifton Heights neighborhood, is 11 Crown Way, a restored 1850 house with carriage house and pool. This house is also available to rent.

Marblehead Unknown Oceanfront Open Houses
This Sunday there are two Marblehead Oceanfront Open Houses, both from 12:30 to 2:00.
Between the entrance to Marblehead at Preston Beach and the turn to Marblehead Neck, there is a stretch of unknown oceanfront which contains 44 houses with Assessed Values of $2 million or more.

In 2014 I identified 29 houses with an AV of $2 million or more but now there are 44, as values are increasing in this area.
People who live in this area know its attractions, which may be why houses rarely come on the market.

MLS and Shakespeare: To Count or Not to Count
MLS has some strict, well fairly strict, listing requirements, in particular in the time that a listing has to be available in MLS before an offer is accepted on the property. But a recent instance makes me wonder whether one of the side effects of this rule is that it does not provide those of us who produce market statistics from MLS data – and those who rely upon those stats, which is everybody with an interest in property prices – with the full market information.
Let me explain.
A house in Marblehead was listed for sale in 2013 and was on the market for about 16 months. The house was then relisted in 2015 and was on the market for 8 months. Finally, in 2016 it was listed again and received an offer the following day. It remained as CTG in MLS for 3 months, but at closing the listing was changed to Cancelled – and therefore does not show in Sold stats – because, apparently, MLS did not believe the property had been widely enough available before the offer was accepted.
Now if this house had sold around the median price of about $600,000, it would be no big deal. But it sold for $3.7 million (I got that from the Registry of Deeds). Not only are sales at this price level less frequent and therefore more significant, but the price level achieved is an important data point for other sellers and brokers who either have properties for sale or are thinking of selling.
As a lover of murder mysteries, I have learned to ask cui bono – who benefits? In this case, I cannot think of anybody who benefits, but I do know that MLS data without this sale is less accurate than it would be if the sale had been included.

More $3 million home sales

After a pause, Marblehead saw a listing above $3 million receive an offer recently, so it seems that buyers are out there at the higher levels. Here’s one Marblehead oceanfront property still available 11 Crown Way.

Another $4 million sale in Marblehead
When I wrote Marblehead sets record for $3 million sales in late January I was unaware that a private sale was about to take place at $4.5 million. There are two interesting things about this sale: it was not on the Neck and it was not waterfront.
This transaction takes the number of sales over $3 million in the last six months or so to 6 with two more pending sales of houses listed over $3 million.
There are just 2 Oceanfront properties on the market in Marblehead and both have Open Houses today. (more…)
