Welcome to Centers and Squares
As a Cambridge real estate agent, the city squares of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford and the town centers of Arlington, Watertown and Belmont, Massachusetts are my home turf. And as a lifelong New Englander who’s lived within twenty miles of Boston most of my life, I can introduce you to other nearby towns as we search for your new home. If you’re planning to sell your home in Cambridge, MA or nearby you’ll find plenty of info about the home selling process here too. Questions? Send me an email or call me at 617-504-1737.
Arlington MA Real Estate Review – 2010
Here’s the year in review post for the Arlington MA real estate market with the 2010 numbers. You can also see how 2010 compared to 2009 and 2008. Following the 2010 wrapup are the numbers for sales in December 2010.
It was another good year for Arlington single family sales – the number of houses sold increased by more than 10%. The median price of an Arlington single family increased modestly.
For the second year in a row the number of condos sold in Arlington dropped. However, the median price of condos that sold in 2010 increased by 10% over 2009. I haven’t dug deep in the condo sales numbers but my hunch is that the big increase in the median price has more to do with fewer sales of inexpensive condos pushing the median up rather than a big jump in values.
Multi-family sales numbers in 2010 looked very similar to 2009.
