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.

Medford MA Real Estate Market-2010-Year In Review

I’ve been doing quite a few market analyses for Medford homeowners recently so I’ve been looking forward to seeing how the real estate market did in Medford for the year.  Here’s a review of 2010 real estate activity. The numbers from 2008 and 2009 are included for comparison. And if that’s not enough stats the monthly activity for December 2010 is included at the end of the post.

Overall, sales were down by 5% in Medford.  The total dollar volume of sales was up ever so slightly.

The decrease in units sold was mainly due to fewer condominiums sold this year. Condo sales were down by more than 18%. The median price of condos sold, however, rose by 5%.

The increase in the median price of multi-families sold was even more dramatic – the median price rose by more than 10%.
