Average Prices Soar in Newton!
In 2014, the average price of a single family home in Newton soared over $1.1 million!
Last year Newton, Massachusetts experienced another year of major gains in the residential real estate market. The number of homes sold dropped as inventory reached a low, but this further drove up real estate values. 2014 marks the fifth consecutive year of single family home price increases in the city.
Enticed by the still low interest rates, buyers continued the momentum built in 2012 and 2013, and came out in force despite the lower number of homes on the market. This resulted in numerous multiple offers, quick sales, and increases in prices. Sale inventory remains extremely low, so the seller's market is continuing here in Newton.
