Watertown MA Real Estate Review – 2010

It’s always interesting at the end of the year to take stock and see how the real estate market did this year compared to previous years.  Here’s the Watertown MA real estate review for 2010 followed by the real estate sales numbers in Watertown for December 2010.

Numbers of properties sold in Watertown dipped yet again this year by about 10%.  Median prices however did not fall. Condo prices essentially stayed flat while the median price of houses rose by 13.5% and by 10% for multi-families. It was a slower market for condos – on average condos took four months to sell.  Multi-unit houses, on the other hand, sold briskly and were on the market just 40 days on average.

Total residential properties sold in Watertown:
