Watertown MA 2009 Real Estate Market Review

Welcome to the Watertown Real Estate Wrap-up

Welcome to the Watertown Real Estate Wrap-up

Watertown MA 2009 Real Estate Market   Finally – the year has come to a close and it’s possible to do a year end wrap-up of the real estate market in Watertown.  2008 figures are included for comparison.  The report includes sales that were listed in the MLS, the Multiple Listing System.

The percentage of year-to-year change is included in parentheses. 

As you’ll see, fewer properties sold in Watertown in 2009 than in 2008 – more than 10% fewer.  Was that because properties were harder to sell in 2009?  The numbers seemed to suggest that wasn’t the case – on average properties sold a bit more quickly in 2009 and the spread between asking price and sale price didn’t change.  The median sales price for Watertown properties barely budged..

Looking at the numbers of properties that failed to sell – that “expired” as we say, shows that more properties failed to sell in 2008 (120) than in 2009 (109).

It seems that the decline in numbers of properties sold occurred because fewer properties were listed for sale in 2009.  Reasons why fewer properties were put on the market include sellers who are able to wait and think they’ll get more money for their home some time in the future and homeowners who are unable to sell at a price that works for them and choose to stay put or rent their home.

After the annual sales info you’ll find the stats for December 2009.

Waterbridge Condominiums – 50 Watertown Street – Watertown Condos

Luxury Condos in Watertown Mass

Luxury Condos in Watertown Mass

The Waterbridge Condominiums are located in Watertown Square at 50 Watertown St, Watertown MA. There are 71 condos in this six-story brick building built in 1986.

The Waterbridge condos are some of my favorites because of the beautiful indoor pool.  That’s my idea of heaven – take the elevator down to the pool in your own building.  Like many condo buildings with pools there’s almost never anyone in the water – all the better!  There’s also a fitness room and sauna.  I also really like many of the floor plans which have two bedrooms with baths in what feel like separate wings of the apartment.

Most of the condominiums in the building are two-bedroom, two-bath units though there are a few one-bedrooms.  Two bedrooms are typically in the 1000 – 1200 sq.ft. range.  Some have views of the Charles River.

Watertown has the residential exemption for owner occupied real estate.

50 Watertown St, Watertown MA – Condo Features

  • Garage or outdoor parking
  • Walk-in closets
  • Balconeys
  • In-unit laundry
  • Additional storage
  • Air conditioning

50 Watertown St, Watertown MA Real Estate Activity

Recent rentals at Waterbridge are in the $1600 – $1800 range for two-bedrooms.
