Detached Single-Family Homes
The 830 homes sold in January is the second highest total for the month, despite
the 1.5 percent drop in sales compared to the record-high 843 from January
2016. Additionally, this is well above the January historical average of 693 homes
sold, and is the second consecutive month that sales have dropped slightly on a
monthly basis. With the 6.1 percent increase in median sales price last month,
this is the 39th
consecutive month that this figure has increased or stayed the
same on a monthly basis.
Condominiums
With 610 condos sold last month, it was the fourth-most active January in history
in the Greater Boston region. This was a 1 percent gain from January 2016 condo
sales and is the second consecutive month that condo sales have softened
slightly. Additionally, this total was comfortably above the monthly average of
530 sold condos. On an annual basis, the median sales prices for condos rose to
$500,000 last month, which is the 12th
consecutive month that the median sales
price has risen on monthly basis in Greater Boston.
Multi-Family Homes
In January of 2017 there were 179 multi-family homes sold in Greater Boston,
which is the highest amount on record for the month. This is also a return to
positive, albeit nearly even, sales numbers as December’s multi-family sales were
down 7.5 percent. Among multi-family homes, the two-family homes saw the
most activity last month, as 119 units were sold. Additionally, two, three and five
or more-family homes saw increases in median sales price, as four-family homes
declined 14.2 percent.

Greater Boston Association of Realtors January 2017 Monthly Indicators Report

  • 1. © 2017 North Leaf Solutions LLC as Domus Analytics, under license for Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® 1 Detached Single-Family Homes The 830 homes sold in January is the second highest total for the month, despite the 1.5 percent drop in sales compared to the record-high 843 from January 2016. Additionally, this is well above the January historical average of 693 homes sold, and is the second consecutive month that sales have dropped slightly on a monthly basis. With the 6.1 percent increase in median sales price last month, this is the 39th consecutive month that this figure has increased or stayed the same on a monthly basis. Condominiums With 610 condos sold last month, it was the fourth-most active January in history in the Greater Boston region. This was a 1 percent gain from January 2016 condo sales and is the second consecutive month that condo sales have softened slightly. Additionally, this total was comfortably above the monthly average of 530 sold condos. On an annual basis, the median sales prices for condos rose to $500,000 last month, which is the 12th consecutive month that the median sales price has risen on monthly basis in Greater Boston. Multi-Family Homes In January of 2017 there were 179 multi-family homes sold in Greater Boston, which is the highest amount on record for the month. This is also a return to positive, albeit nearly even, sales numbers as December’s multi-family sales were down 7.5 percent. Among multi-family homes, the two-family homes saw the most activity last month, as 119 units were sold. Additionally, two, three and five or more-family homes saw increases in median sales price, as four-family homes declined 14.2 percent.

Active Listings is the number of Active properties available for sale at the end of the month. Median Selling Price is the mid-point where the price for half of the sales are higher and half are lower. Median is preferred to average as it better accounts for outliers at the high or low end of the price range. Months Supply of Inventory (MSI), also known as Absorption, is the number of months it would take to sell through the units available for sale at the current monthly sales rate. The National Association of REALTORS® describes a balanced market as between 5 and 7 months supply of inventory (MSI). New Listings is the number of properties listed in a given month or time period. Pending Sales is the number of properties newly under contract in a given month or time period. Price per Square Foot is the average of the sold price divided by the square feet of the property. Sale Price to Original Price Ratio is the average of the Sales Price divided by the Original List Price, and expressed as a percentage.
