Heres September 2013s Monthly Multifamily Housing Activity Report from the Greater Boston Association of Realtors?. Whats Going On In The Market? Comparing September 2013 to September 2012: Closed sales are up, Median Prices are up, Days on market are down, Percentage of Original List Price to Price Received is up, New Listings are up

Buyers reacting to the market and the ongoing concern of rising interest rates in the late spring/early summer resulted in the most closed home sales in a September since 2005. Prices continue to move up because demand for available homes to buy is outpacing supply. Interest rates are still low and buyers are qualified and waiting. The market needs homeowners to commit to selling to get us to full recovery.
