Newton Market Reaches All Time High!

In 2015, the average price of a single family home in Newton soared over $1.2 million!

Last year Newton, Massachusetts experienced another year of major gains in the residential real estate market. The number of homes sold slightly increased over last year's inventory. In addition, home sale prices rose significantly! 2015 marks the sixth 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, 2013, and 2014, coming out in force despite the still low 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.
