Market Update

The world of Real Estate is exciting and ever changing.  In this and future Blogs I will share with you information useful to you, the consumer three times a week  Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  

 My name is Mike Quail, a top Realtor on the North Shore of Massachusetts.  I specialize in Beverly, Danvers, Peabody, Hamilton, and Wenham. The question in the forefront of most sellers’ minds today is “Is this the right time to sell?” Well, in my opinion it all depends on your situation, financial means and motivation.  The following statistics will help with the answers.

 Today’s Topic: Single Family Homes Average Prices on the North Shore……..Good news & Bad news…

 The Bad News

                                                                  The Good News   

 Per the North Shore Realtor News Magazine, compared to the same time last year, Single Family home sale prices have gone up 8.5% when comparing Oct 08 to Oct 09 prices.

October 2008 $376,100

Vs

 October 2009 $408,078

 The fact that we went into the last quarter of the year on the positive side, should give us all some hope that the market is leveling off and could be on it’s way to

recovering.  However nobody has crystal ball and many, many factors effect home prices; jobs, economy, mortgage rates, consumer confidence, government action etc.  The great thing about a home is you get to enjoy it regardless of what the market is doing.

 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays From The Quail Home Selling Team!
