If you're interested in seeing just how the market is doing, here's some interesting data. Despite the fact that we've been experiencing a mild price correction over the last twelve months, the National Association of REALTOR® market analysts are reporting the median home price statewide in September 2006 only dropped by 9% since the peak median price observed back in July and August of 2005. Condo prices on the other hand dropped only 6% in approximately the same time period. Therefore, the data reported in the NAR Home Price Analysis Reports offer little support to the belief that there is or was a “bubble market” here in Massachusetts.
The MAR Second Quarter 2006 Report will show you where we are in terms of home sales and selling prices. Remember, it’s just a guideline and in areas like Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket the numbers are going to be generally higher.
This graph will take you on a quick trip back to those deadly days in the early 90’s when the Annual Housing Supply in Months in Massachusetts was overflowing.
