Key takeaways for the month
The Boston market continues to stay on trend year-over-year, experiencing expected seasonality.
- Single family homes in the suburbs are gaining traction, reflected in higher median sale prices year over year.
- The local market stayed fairly steady during the onset of the pandemic. With a new wave of Covid-19 cases, we’ll be watching in December to see how the market reacts. It may be relatively unaffected again, or the suburbs could see growth as buyers seek out more space for remote work.
