WALTHAM, Mass. – October 10, 2019 – The Massachusetts Association of Realtors® (MAR) reported today that the number of single-family homes put under agreement in the month of September went up 20 percent and the number of condominiums put under agreement went up almost 25 percent compared to this time last year. This marks 12 straight months of year-over-year increases for single-family homes. The median price for single-family homes put under agreement increased five percent to $410,000, while condominiums had a 10 percent increase to $375,000 compared to September 2018.

In response to the September ‘Hot Topic’ question, 36 percent of respondent's reported that seller contingencies are being used more frequently or much more frequently in this market.

“Even with strong activity in the summer, buyers were out in force in September pushing the number of homes put under agreement up over 20 percent,” said 2019 MAR President Anne Meczywor, broker/associate at Roberts & Associates Realty, Inc., in Lenox. “The demand to live in Massachusetts combined with a strong job market and low interest rates continued to fuel the market for home ownership.”
