The Numbers Are In! Arlington Home Sales for Q3 2012

Arlington home sales continue to boom in today's housing market! Record low interest rates and buyer demand has boosted Arlington high on the list of the Boston suburbs, with positive growth.

The numbers are in - the housing market in Arlington is booming!   The number of homes sold in the third quarter has increased each year for the past three years.  In a year to date comparison with 2011,  34 more single family homes (232) have sold this year, 11 more multi-families (30) and the same number of  condo/townhouses ( 171).

These home sale stats clearly show a strong Arlington real estate marketplace.  In fact, Boston and many of its suburbs have experienced growth markets. But Arlington continues to outpace the majority of marketplaces in the country.  Recent news articles are citing that home prices are expected to increase in the coming months, thanks in large part to a growing number of home buyers taking advantage of low interest rates – an incredible 3.25% 30 year fixed rate as of the writing of this blog.  Buyers are recognizing that home values have been appreciating and, along with the low rates, have decided that now may be the right time to buy.

As for home sellers, if you have been waiting to sell, fearing your home market values may not be as high as they were in the past... now may be your opportunity.  The growing number of buyers in our marketplace wanting to take advantage of the historically low interest rates has created demand for your home and therefore raised your home’s value.
