Cambridge MA Real Estate Market – January – October 2011
Cambridge MA Real Estate Market
How’s the real estate market in Cambridge? People are always asking. Let’s pause a moment, before we head into the holidays, and look back to see what kind of year we’ve had so far. Here’s a review of Cambridge MA real estate market activity for January through October 2011.
For comparison, the numbers for the same period in 2010 are in parentheses.
2011 looks a lot like 2010 in the Cambridge real estate market. The number of properties sold is up by 3% despite the low inventory. The median price has barely budged for the market as a whole and the average time it takes to sell is unchanged. Median price changes by property type may be due to the mix of what’s been available for sale.
On October 31, 2011, 221 properties were listed for sale in Cambridge. That’s a huge drop in inventory levels from last year at this time when 373 residential properties were on the market. Cambridge real estate agents have been grumbling about low inventory and with numbers like these it’s no wonder that buyers are having a challenging time finding what they want.
