Sales Are Up 3% Versus Same Time Last Year
Single-family home sales were up 5.5% across Massachusetts in June and, at the halfway point in 2025, are up 3% over the same stretch last year, real estate market analysts said Tuesday.
The Warren Group said the 4,706 sales here last month brought the 2025-to-date total number of single-family sales to 19,065, a 3% increase over the same checkpoint in 2024. Though there have been more houses changing hands this year, the median price for those sales has continued to climb.
The median price for the homes that sold in June was $687,500, up 3.1% over last June. And the year-to-date median sale price sits at $620,000 through June, up 4.1% over the same period a year earlier.
“Despite inventory increase in certain markets, median prices continue to rise, indicating no relief on prices,” Cassidy Norton, associate publisher of The Warren Group, said. “However, June historically has the highest number of sales of an individual month. It’s also usually the month where median sale prices peak. Moving into the latter half of the year, the overall median price will likely drop month-over-month, but not year-over-year.”
Norton said buyers who are not insistent on a single-family house could find some welcome news in the condominium market. There were 2,056 condo sales in June, up 6.1% compared to 1,938 in June 2024. Meanwhile, the median condo sale price dropped 0.3% to $568,250.
“The median sale price for condos in June dropped versus 2024, but unfortunately, $1,750 is a statistically insignificant number,” she said. “Still, price growth in the condo market is more contained than that of the single-family market, which is good news for buyers with flexibility in their choices.”
The 9,379 condo sales in the first six months of 2025 represent a 4.7% increase over the first half of 2024, but the year-to-date median sale price is up just less than 1% over the same time to $545,000.
