Despite a traditionally slower summer market and rising interest rates, Realtors in the Bay State were more confident about the housing market in June than in the same month last year, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).

The median home price rose for the eighth consecutive month, as home sales put up their strongest May in years, according to two firms tracking real estate data.

Single-family home sales continued to decline in April while median prices continued to climb, two Bay State real estate groups reported this morning.

Two indices tracked by the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) continued a trend of hitting all-time highs in April.

Pending home sales in Massachusetts reached their highest monthly point in more than nine years in April, in spite of a limited inventory of available properties, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) said.

With a drop in inventory and a rise in multiple-bid offers, confidence among Massachusetts Realtors in market activity and home prices soared last month, the state's Realtors association reported.

As homebuyers become more aware of how energy efficiency can save them money, more developers and homeowners are applying it to their properties, creating a fledgling market for green homes.

After a snowy February, pending homes sales in Massachusetts rebounded last month, indicating a potential rise in transactions for the spring, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).

A drop in inventory pushed down sales of single-family homes in Massachusetts last month, halting more than a year of monthly gains, according to two reports released today.
