Medford MA Real Estate Market In 2009 and 2008
Welcome to the Medford MA Real Estate Wrap-up
Here’s a look back at Medford home sales in 2009 and 2008 followed by the monthly numbers for December 2009. Information is for sales of properties listed on the MLS, the Multiple Listing System.
There was a slight uptick in total properties sold in Medford in 2009. But there’s more behind those numbers.
During 2009 the number of single family homes sold decreased by 9%. This was not a matter of poor single family sales – in fact, singles sold for 98% of asking price on average in 2009, versus 96% of list price in 2008. The reason there were fewer sales (and the reason why sellers were able to get offers closer to their asking price) was that fewer single family houses were put on the market. That is quite evident when the numbers of single families that failed to sell during a listing period are compared – 152 in 2008 and only 83 in 2009.
Medford homeowners thinking of putting their home on the market should consider listing their home soon. The spring market promises to be early this yearbecause the homebuyer credit requires that the buyer have a property under agreement by April 30, 2010. Inventory going into the new year is waaay down from the year before – 38% fewer properties were on the market on Dec. 31st, 2009 than one year before. Less competition means it will be easier to sell your home.
The increase in the number of Medford properties sold this year was largely a result of a sizable increase in numbers of condos sold – condos sales increased by 25% over 2008 sales. When I saw that large an increase I took a closer look, wondering if it was a matter of new condo projects selling. That doesn’t seem to be the case – there were condos in new projects selling in 2008 and in 2009 and the numbers sold are fairly close. It seems that resale condos made up the increase instead.
At the same time, the median price of condos sold in 2009 fell by $20,000 or close to 7%. That may be in part a function of the mix of condos on the market since resale units usually sell for lower prices than the newly built condos.
In fact, the median price fell in all categories – single family houses, condos and multi-family houses. But at the same time, average days on market fell in all categories. It’s seemed for a while now that sellers have adjusted their expectations to current market conditions – pricing for today’s market and as a result, more sales are coming together. Thinking this will be the year you’ll become a homeowner? – it’s a great time to buy – realistic asking prices, low interest rates, and a homebuyer credit that puts cash in your pocket!

Live In a Renovated School – Medford Schoolhouse Condos
Live In a Renovated School – Medford Schoolhouse Condos Old brick school buildings make beautiful condos. Large windows, high ceilings, wide hallways, and wonderful original detail make for dramatic spaces. Medford Massachusetts has a great selection of converted schoolhouse condominiums. The old High School was converted to condos in the 1980s and several years ago the City of Medford retired several elementary schools that are now condo buildings. Here’s the scoop on condos in schools in Medford and links to search the MLS for currently available units.
Gleason School
The Gleason School – 160 Playstead Road
This school was converted in 2006 to just eight large units ranging in size from approx. 1200 to 2800 sq.ft. There are flats and multi-level units with two to four bedrooms.

More Schoolhouse Conversions on the Way
The Kennedy-Lincoln School at 215 Harvard Street is under renovation as I write. New townhouses have been constructed and the second phase will include condos in the renovated school building.
