Selling for Over Asking – Arlington Single Family Home Sales
Multiple Bids for Arlington MA Homes
It often takes buyers by surprise, particularly if they’re new to the Arlington real estate market, to find out that it’s not uncommon for Arlington MA single family homes to sell for over the asking price.
Arlington is very popular with real estate buyers and the market for single family homes can be very competitive. Open houses for newly listed houses are usually crowded. Often buyers have to be prepared to act quickly and to make a strong offer. Many times sellers will receive multiple offers.
Arlington Single Family Homes
Since we’ve reached the half-way mark in the year and come through the busy spring real estate market I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Arlington single family sales through June 30, 2009.
Between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in Arlington:
- 85 single family homes sold
- Average asking price was $538,667

Arlington Single Family Sales For Over Asking Price
Wondering how often Arlington single family homes get multiple offers or sell for more than the asking price? Here are the numbers for the first half of 2009:
21 of the 85 single families sold through June sold for more than list price or almost 1 in 4 houses.
The average asking price for these homes was $510,910. The average sales price was $525,347.
I was curious to see how these sales tracked by school district:
- Brackett – 7 of 21 over asking sales
- Dallin – 5
- Hardy – 2
- Peirce – 2
- Stratton – 2
- Thompson – 2
- Bishop – 1

Some school districts include large numbers of more modest homes while another school district might have a concentration of large, expensive homes.

Arlington Neighborhoods – Kelwyn Manor
History of Kelwyn Manor
Kelwyn Manor is one of Arlington’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Kelwyn Manor is sited on land that sits between Lake Street and Spy Pond in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Neighborhood development began in 1938 when the Kelly Coal Company began building the first of 194 houses on the 39 acre former Wyman farm. The name “Kelwyn” is a contraction of the two names: “Kelly” and “Wyman”. Houses in the development originally were priced between $6,000 and $8,000.
The Arlington Historical Commission, in minutes from a 2003 meeting, notes that “the unprecedented scale of this subdivision, and the nearly uniform use of period Colonial Revival style, make Kelwyn Manor unique in Arlington’s emergence as a suburban community.”
