Are you a Buyer of Seller Looking for Massachusetts Real Estate Statistics or Trends

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in Massachusetts, perhaps you wondering what "is" the MA market doing? This Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) data sheet provides data on items such as number of sales and median selling prices (for single family homes and condominiums.)

I think it might be interesting to look at the data for prices when foreclosures and distressed sales are removed from the picture as these are likely to skew the numbers, especially with respect to median selling price.

Sample data from MAR (see link for full data):
