March 2017 Greater Boston Real Estate Market Trends
The spring housing market got off to a strong start as sales of single-family homes and condominiums rose in March, following a mild winter, steady incoming job growth, and high buyer demand according to data issued today by the Greater Boston Association of REALTORS (GBAR).
Sales of single-family detached homes saw a 5.6 percent increase in year-over-year sales in March, as 825 homes were sold compared to the 781 homes sold in March 2016. This is the fifth highest sales total on record for the month of March and is the highest sales total since the record 1,001 homes sold in March 2007.
