Waltham Homes and Condos Sold Activity

The Waltham MA Q3 real estate activity indicates a dramatic change in the trend as compared to the Q2 reports.  The second quarter 2010 activity reported increases in single family homes, condominiums and average sales prices over 2009 statistics.  In Q3, home values declined sharply and condominium sales came to a near standstill. 

The third quarter reports are sales that took place in the summer months which is a slower cycle for transactions.  The alarming statistics are the transaction counts with prices heading lower.  The market did not respond to low interest rates and affordable values which indicates the housing recession may go deeper.
