MARKET NOTE

Is residential real estate due for a market correction? Nationally, the answer appears to be yes. Rapidly rising interest rates, inflationary prices and stock market declines have all contributed to a significant drop in mortgage applications and home sales. Of course, just like politics, all real estate is local. National statistics are usually based on closed sales from one or two months ago. And market conditions can vary significantly from city to city and region to region. Be sure to consult with your agent to understand market trends specific to your neck of the woods. So, how do things look in Greater Boston? The following observations are based on year-to-date MLSPIN data for 150 communities as of June 30, 2022. Among single-family homes, some local indicators are clearly pointing toward a market correction. Compared to June 30, 2021, the number of single families on the market was up 37% and price reductions increased 20%. Pending sales and closed sales were both down. There were some bright spots for sellers, however. Average sales price grew 11% year over year, while median sales price jumped 9%. Days-to-offer was down 21%, a sign that buyers were quickly snapping up new inventory. And sale- to-list ratio (i.e., the final sales price divided by the original list price) was up 1.6%. Among Greater Boston condominiums, we didn’t see much indication of a softening market. Six percent fewer units were available than at the end of the second quarter of 2021. Largely due to inventory constraints, average sales price climbed 13% and median sales price rose 9%. Days- to-offer, meanwhile, was down 23%, suggesting that strong demand is spurring faster sales of condos. As with single families, pending sales and closed sales of condos dipped year over year; this was expected, given that fewer units had come onto the market. Sale-to-list ratio declined, albeit only less than 0.5%, but buyers were still willing to pay an average of almost 2.5% above the asking price.

strategy is critical; most of our communities have seen an uptick in price reductions, which indicates it is possible to overprice a home in this market. Although many homes were still receiving multiple offers, Compass agents reported that fewer offers were arriving in these cases. They added that more sellers (especially of homes under $2 million) were considering offers with financial and other contingencies. Furthermore, buyers were less likely to bid as significantly over the asking price as they were just one month before. But buyers shouldn’t assume home prices will come crashing down anytime soon. In Greater Boston, a variety of factors will continue to cause inventory to remain low. The rise in interest rates will also complicate matters. Buyers may need to reconsider what purchase price is realistic for their budget or explore an adjustable rate mortgage to keep payments affordable. John Burns Real Estate Consulting (which provides market data to Compass) projects that average monthly mortgage payments will soar 39% this year due to price appreciation and swelling mortgage rates. While affordability will be a challenge, those who are in a position to buy now will almost certainly benefit, as home prices have historically appreciated over the long term.

CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS

In stark contrast with the Greater Boston market, single- family inventory shrank 17% and condo inventory was down 22% year over year on Cape Cod. For both property types, the numbers of pending and closed sales were down significantly, while prices were up. In Barnstable County, the median sales price for single-family homes and condos rose 14% and 20%, respectively.

On Martha’s Vineyard, the number of home sales dropped 27%, and the median sales price was up almost 13%.

On Nantucket, the number of home sales was down 38%, and the median sales price fell by 1.4%. Average sales price, however, was up 38%.

Sellers would be wise to adjust their expectations in light of these trends, particularly in the single-family arena. Pricing

GLOSSARY

SINGLE-FAMILY A stand-alone house is a free-standing residential building. It is sometimes referred to as a single-family home, as opposed to a multi-family residential dwelling. CONDO A condominium, often shortened to condo, is a type of living space similar to an apartment but independently sellable and therefore regarded as real estate MEDIAN LIST PRICE The median list price is the price in the very middle of a data set, with exactly half of the houses priced for less and half priced for more. We refer to the median list price rather than the average list price because it is less affected by outliers or properties that skew the perceived values in a particular housing market. MEDIAN SALES PRICE (MSP) The median sales price is the price in the very middle of a data set, with exactly half of the houses sold for less and half sold for more. We refer to the median sold price rather than the average sold price because it is less affected by outliers or properties that skew the perceived values in a particular housing market. DAYS ON MARKET (DOM) Days on market is defined as the total number of days a listing is active before an offer is accepted or the listing is pulled off the market.

CLOSED SALES Figures for the current quarter are based on known closings recorded at the time the report is prepared.

128 Beacon Street, Unit K | Exclusively listed by The Biega Kilgore Team

Living in Boston means a life at the center of everything — innovation and the arts, tradition, and technology. Bostonians are known for moving ever forward while cherishing simple, timeless pleasures like skating on Frog Pond, strolling the Public Garden, taking in various neighborhoods’ architectural gems, and shopping the boutiques of Newbury and Charles Streets. Just across the Charles River from Boston, leisure seekers in the Cambridge area can escape city life for the likes of Fresh Pond Reservation, and the manicured campuses of internationally-renowned universities.

Vibrant neighborhoods, such as Davis Square and Harvard Square, offer a diverse array of exciting dining, shopping, and nightlife options. Residents make their homes in spaces that are as diverse as the cities themselves— from the iconic brownstones of Back Bay, Beacon Street, and the South End, to Brookline and Cambridge’s generous estate properties and the extraordinary painted ladies of Jamaica Plain.

From the dunes of Plum Island to the pristine sands of Wingaersheek Beach, where the Annisquam River meets Ipswich Bay, the North Shore of Boston promises tranquil escapes taken straight from a postcard. Updated Colonials lend an air of sophistication to traditional architectural styles, while iconic Gothic Revival and Queen Anne-style homes attract visits from students of architecture.

Those looking for a livelier scene might check out Salem’s year-round Halloween happenings or venture further north to New Hampshire’s shopping hot spots. Lobster rolls, flea markets, and an easy commute to Boston by commuter rail make for an enviable lifestyle that feels a lot like vacation.

29 Anne Road, North Andover | Exclusively listed by the Lush Group

The communities north of Boston feature the luxuries of modern living amid picturesque streetscapes that honor New England’s history. Residences are as varied as that history itself, from Victorian homes and Colonial estates to updated farmhouses and new condominiums. Community investment has breathed new life into well- preserved town centers such as the Lexington Common and Andover’s Shawsheen Village Historic District. Beautifully restored mills house top-rated restaurants, and antique stores share space with contemporary boutiques.

Runners, hikers, and cyclists take full advantage of expansive greenspaces like the Boxford and Harold Parker State Forests, Breakheart Reservation, and Middlesex Fells Reservation, while children attend schools that rate among the best in the country. Residents enjoy an easy commute into Boston via car or commuter rail and can head a few miles north to New Hampshire for weekend getaways.

41 McCallar Lane, Concord | Exclusively listed by Evarts + McLean + Co

Greenspace abounds in the communities situated northwest of Boston, as several national protected areas are peppered throughout the region for its many residents to enjoy. Exercise enthusiasts relish the trails and bikeways of the Minuteman National Historic Park, while others that opt for a more leisurely outing are partial to the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge.

These suburban towns just outside of Boston may give the illusion of being a world away from the hustle and bustle, but commuters — and those looking to spend a few hours in the city — can still reap the benefits of city life by way of the MBTA train lines serving the region.

170 Otis Street, Hingham | Exclusively listed by the Kevin Lewis Group

The historic towns of the South Shore showcase stately Colonials, townhomes, and Capes, as well as nineteenth century country houses and estates framed by fieldstone walls. New construction homes in the tradition of the Georgian Colonial are neighbors to tasteful condos with floor-to-ceiling bay windows and coastal views. While residents enjoy the proximity to both Boston and Providence, the South Shore has plenty to entice in its own right, from fresh oysters and farm-to-table dining to swimming, hiking, and biking in the Blue Hills and Neponset Reservations.

Defined by the prominence of Route 3, the South Shore features several gorgeous seaside towns along this highly traveled path, making for a picturesque excursion leading to the Cape. Families count on excellent schools, enjoy arts and cultural delights like dance performances and outdoor music festivals, and cherish institutions like the South Shore Music Circus and South Shore Children’s Museum.

41 Jefferson Avenue, Nantucket | Exclusively listed by The Mazer Group

A favorite destination for tourists, statespeople, and celebrities, the Cape and Islands have even more to offer those who make it home. Known for its signature wood-framed clapboard homes, the coastal region also boasts traditional Colonial and salt-box homes, seaside cottages, and luxury condos. Simply taking in the majestic sunsets is an activity on its own, but residents of the Cape and Islands also enjoy playing at pristine golf courses, dining at five-star restaurants, watching the seals at the

Chatham Fish Pier, strolling through sculpture gardens and, of course, beachgoing, sailing, and swimming. From townhomes adjoining the vibrant streets of Provincetown to tranquil, secluded estates across the region, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard have something for everyone.
