Greetings all,

It is summertime and we all deserve the warm weather after such a nasty winter and spring.  May I say that we also "deserve" the good news of the local real estate market?  Yes, the Hingham real estate market has rebounded with a significant growth in sales volume, transactions and even median/average price from a year ago!

In this newsletter I have again provided "Fast Facts" below for those who prefer just the numbers. I have also added a designation to note statistics that are either more advantageous to buyers or sellers. In this issue I am pleased to report they are predominantly advantageous to sellers.  I have also provided an analysis to summarize what all the statistics mean for our local real estate market.

South Shore single family statistics

Q1-2 2014

Hingham, Scituate and Duxbury show significant year-over-year growth in all categories.  Cohasset and Norwell's statistics are off from 2013 but they saw significant growth from 2012 to 2013.  I will continue to monitor the trends and provide insights where appropriate.

Time to Sell!

Client Feedback

22 Maryknoll Drive

Hingham

Pam Bates is absolutely the best real estate agent I've had.  She worked harder than any agent I have ever seen to find the right buyers for my house, and to find a new house that would fit my needs now and into the future.   Pam was professional and persistent, helping me to stay focused on my goals even when the process got tedious and I was ready to buy something less than ideal.  Pam looked after my interests during every step of the process, and I highly recommend her as a real estate agent.
