It's tempting to confuse market normalization with a possible slowdown. But
those equipped with high-quality MLS data know better. As mortgage
delinquencies fade, banks are listing bargain-priced product less often. That
means investor activity – which accounts for a substantial market share – is
moderating. That's not to say that rates and prices aren't still attractive to owner-
occupant buyers. They most certainly are. Some short-term volatility is
expected as part of a normal market readjustment.

Data is refreshed regularly to capture changes in market activity so figures shown may be different than previously reported. Current as of March 17, 2014. All data from MLS Property
Information Network, Inc. Provided by Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® and the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS®. Powered by 10K Research and Marketing.
New Listings in the Greater Boston region were down 4.7 percent for detached
homes and 7.1 percent for condominiums. Closed Sales decreased 5.2 percent
for detached homes and 4.4 percent for condominiums.
The Median Sales Price was up 11.4 percent to $478,900 for single-family
properties and 14.3 percent to $400,000 for condominiums. Months Supply of
Inventory decreased 22.5 percent for single-family units and 27.0 percent for
townhouse-condo units.
The economy has more or less shuffled along, despite some climate-induced
surprises to job growth and new construction. There is no denying the fact that
we've now seen 47 straight months of private job growth, creating 8.5 million
new payrolls. There's still work to be done. Thankfully, with such low inventory
levels, many builders are bullish on new construction. The spring market is
budding, and it should be an interesting one.

February 2014 Greater Boston Real Estate Market Trends Report

  • 1. Monthly IndicatorsA RESEARCH TOOL PROVIDED BY THE GREATER BOSTON ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® February 2014 Quick Facts - 5.2% Year-Over-Year (YoY) Change in Closed Sales Single-Family Only It's tempting to confuse market normalization with a possible slowdown. But those equipped with high-quality MLS data know better. As mortgage delinquencies fade, banks are listing bargain-priced product less often. That means investor activity – which accounts for a substantial market share – is moderating. That's not to say that rates and prices aren't still attractive to owner- occupant buyers. They most certainly are. Some short-term volatility is expected as part of a normal market readjustment. - 4.4% Year-Over-Year (YoY) Change in Closed Sales Condominium Only - 4.8% Year-Over-Year (YoY) Change in Closed Sales All Properties 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Data is refreshed regularly to capture changes in market activity so figures shown may be different than previously reported. Current as of March 17, 2014. All data from MLS Property Information Network, Inc. Provided by Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® and the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS®. Powered by 10K Research and Marketing. New Listings in the Greater Boston region were down 4.7 percent for detached homes and 7.1 percent for condominiums. Closed Sales decreased 5.2 percent for detached homes and 4.4 percent for condominiums. The Median Sales Price was up 11.4 percent to $478,900 for single-family properties and 14.3 percent to $400,000 for condominiums. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 22.5 percent for single-family units and 27.0 percent for townhouse-condo units. The economy has more or less shuffled along, despite some climate-induced surprises to job growth and new construction. There is no denying the fact that we've now seen 47 straight months of private job growth, creating 8.5 million new payrolls. There's still work to be done. Thankfully, with such low inventory levels, many builders are bullish on new construction. The spring market is budding, and it should be an interesting one.
