Market Report for Condominium Sales,

Woburn, Ma.  First Quarter 2010


    
First a review of where we came from. For Woburn, Ma. the market volume and the prices peaked in 2005, at an annual volume of 179 units and a median price of $354,911. The 2005 numbers are somewhat skewed by 62 units of a new complex on Salem St. hitting the market. However, prices have fallen approximately a 25% from that high.  In 2009  77 units sold this volume is up from 2008. The graph below shows the numbers for the last 10 years. The line is for the median price and the bars for the numbers of homes sold.

Annual Woburn Condo Prices


    There has been no significant seasonal effect in the Woburn market. In  2008 Q1( Jan, Feb and Mar), Q2 ( Apr, May, Jun) and Q3 ( Jul,Aug, Sept) were somewhat lower than past years but prices held up. In Q4 2008 volume and prices fell steeply. Q4 of 2009, and Q1 2010 have shown significant improvement in the market with sales volume and prices both much improved over 2008 levels. I believe this was in large part due to the first time home buyer tax credit. The graph below shows the Quarterly numbers for the last 3 years. The line is for the median price and the bars for the numbers of homes sold.

  

Quarterly Woburn Condo Prices

    There are currently  41 condos listed for sale in Woburn, which is down 20% from the same time last year. This translates into approximately a 5 month supply which indicates that the market is in much better balance than it has been in several years.

    The condo market is somewhat more complicated than the single family market in that there are several competing types of condominiums on the market. There have a significant number of condo conversions where 3 and 4 family houses have been re-habbed and converted. There have also  been some new luxury condominium complexes built, so price numbers can be hard to interpret. For your specific are of interest please give me a call directly.

    Generally speaking 2009 showed improvement in the Woburn Condo market.  With the tax incentives expanded we can expect to see continued market strength in the first half of 2010, but without job growth I do not expect to see any substantial price increases this year. Neither do I expect to see any substantial price decrease so now is a good time to buy.
