Prices (the black line in the chart above) have been doing a slow seesaw movement where we make a small gain in median price, prices soften and then rise again. The average days on market (the orange line in the chart) has been following the typical pattern based on the seasons. Starting in the fall of 2010 the average days on market lengthened until the peak in March (after all of those back to back winter storms). With the spring and better weather, the average days on market for single family homes sales in Medford shortened. Now that we’re in summer, we’re seeing the average days on market flatten out.

Keep in mind that these are single family home averages for the city of Medford overall and each property is unique. Call or email me if you’d like to find out the market value for your Medford property.

It’s been a long wait but finally sound barriers are coming, at least to a section of Route 93 South in Medford. This fall, as part of the bridge replacement happening this summer, sound barriers are going to be erected blocking noise from the highway from reaching residents in the city. Yippee!!

This is showing us that the median single family home prices have declined in Medford for the last few months while the average days on the market have increased. However, this is a phenomenon that we normally see during the winter months, especially with the incredible amounts of snow that we had in the city. Keep in mind that most closings take 45 days to 2 months to take place so if you see a property that closed today, the price was actually agreed upon a few months ago. With low interest rates continuing (30 year fixed rates are back under 5%) we are already seeing a strong spring market.
