August 2015 Milton MA Home Sales Report
The MLS Property Information Network is reporting that 30 Milton MA homes were sold in August 2015. That is a slight decrease from the previous month. However, it is 15.4% higher than the same time last year. That makes this the second highest August sales in the last five years. Of the 30 homes sold, 13 of them took less than 30 days to go to offer. That's almost half of all sales!
Milton MA Buyers paid an average of $640,996 in August 2015. That is a 2.8% increase over July 2015 sales and a 9.4% increase from August 2014. For a better perspective, Buyers may want to keep this in mind. Three of the total August 2015 sales were over $1,000,000. There were no $1M+ home sales last year. If you take those three sales figures out of the equation, the average sale price decreases to $524,347. That would mean that the average sale price actually decreased 10.5% from the same time last year.
