Although the year to date (YTD) Dorcheser inventory is slightly higher than last year, the Dorchester YTD Average sales price is up by 12% and the average days on market went from 122 days to 77 days, a drop of 37%. These numbers clearly indicate signs of a recovery. As the market begins to rebound it has never been more critical for buyers to “get off the fence” and get into the game. Furthermore, it appears that we may have already seen the bottom of theDorchester market. If you are considering buying real estate and are uncertain of when to purchase a home, the time is now. In addition to getting in while the values are low, you can also take advantage of historically low interest rates. The only way to know when we have seen the bottom of the market is when we start to come back up. Again, Dorchester YTD Home values are up 12%. What more can I say.

There were a total of 76 Dorchester Homes sold in 2010 and 64 homes sold in 2009. This represents a 19% increase in total volume over 2009. The average sale price was $302,417.00 in 2010 and $255,504.00 in 2009. This represents an18% increase in the average Dorchester home sales price. The total value of all homes sold in Dorchester during June of 2010 was $22,983,691.00 and $16,352,260.00 in 2009. This represents an increase of 41%. That is almost even with the total value in 2008. After seeing the numbers it is clear that Dorchester real estate market is trending upward. The increase can be attributed to several factors including the home buyer tax credit, optimism about the local economy and a decrease in the number of petitions to foreclose.
