Selling for Over Asking – Arlington Single Family Home Sales
Multiple Bids for Arlington MA Homes
It often takes buyers by surprise, particularly if they’re new to the Arlington real estate market, to find out that it’s not uncommon for Arlington MA single family homes to sell for over the asking price.
Arlington is very popular with real estate buyers and the market for single family homes can be very competitive. Open houses for newly listed houses are usually crowded. Often buyers have to be prepared to act quickly and to make a strong offer. Many times sellers will receive multiple offers.
Arlington Single Family Homes
Since we’ve reached the half-way mark in the year and come through the busy spring real estate market I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Arlington single family sales through June 30, 2009.
Between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in Arlington:
- 85 single family homes sold
- Average asking price was $538,667
- Average sales price was $525,626
- Average days on market was 62
Arlington Single Family Sales For Over Asking Price
Wondering how often Arlington single family homes get multiple offers or sell for more than the asking price? Here are the numbers for the first half of 2009:
21 of the 85 single families sold through June sold for more than list price or almost 1 in 4 houses.
The average asking price for these homes was $510,910. The average sales price was $525,347.
I was curious to see how these sales tracked by school district:
- Brackett – 7 of 21 over asking sales
- Dallin – 5
- Hardy – 2
- Peirce – 2
- Stratton – 2
- Thompson – 2
- Bishop – 1
But how much are Arlington real estate buyers paying over asking price?
Here are the Arlington homes that sold for over asking price in the first half of 2009 with days on market (DOM), asking price and sales price:

Somerville Real Estate Market Activity – June 2009
Welcome to the Somerville Real Estate Market Report
Before the month gets away from me let’s take a look back at the Somerville real estate market in June 2009.
Somerville Real Estate Market – Homes for Sale
282 residential properties were on the market in Somerville on June 30, 2009 ranging in price from $1 to $1,600,000. The average days on market was 107.
And yes – that low price is $1. It appears to be a marketing technique – a condo that was on the market for about six weeks, originally priced at $329,000 and reduced in incremental drops to $307,000 was repriced at $1 a couple of weeks ago. The listing suggests that buyers can “put a true value” on the condo but also notes that if you “come in with a strong offer this condo could be yours”. Clearly despite the teaser price the seller is still looking for a reasonable price however he or she defines that. And incidentally, the lowest “real” asking price for a home in Somerville is $115,000.
Somerville Real Estate Sales in June 2009
64 Somerville houses sold during the month of June. This was an increase of over 50% from May when 40 residential properties sold. The average sales price was $408,145. The median sales price was $381,500. The average days on market was 79.
