The Massachusetts Association of Realtors reported July pending sales of single-family homes were up 8.5 percent versus a year before and condominium sales were up 6.5 percent.

The pending sales of homes in Massachusetts continued to grow in June, although condominiums saw their first contraction in 15 months, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).

Home sales continued their upward climb in February, with huge gains in Worcester County, but sales prices for single-family homes stumbled for the first time in nine months.

The confidence of Massachusetts realtors in the state's housing market was strong through the end of 2015, largely due to continued growth in sales numbers, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).

An unseasonably warm December kept the housing market hot in Massachusetts, according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).
