Watertown MA Real Estate Market – January-October 2011

Watertown MA Real Estate Market Review

Watertown MA Real Estate Market Review

Here’s a look at how the Watertown MA real estate market is faring in 2011.

The numbers for the same period in 2010 are in parentheses for comparison.

On October 31, 2011, 114 residential properties were listed for sale in Watertown.  That’s a large decrease,  more than 26%,  from the same time last year when 155 properties were on the market.

For the market as a whole the median price was up by 6%.  That wasn’t true of single family houses with a median sale price this year through October of $420,375 compared to $482,500 last year.  That may in part be due to a different mix in what was offered for sale.  In the first 10 months of last year 27 homes sold for more than $500,000 vs. just 20 this year during the same period.

The mix of properties sold this year in Watertown was quite a bit different than last: fewer condos sold this year while single family house sales were up and considerably more multi-unit houses have sold this year.
