MELROSE — The median price of a single-family home sold in the city just keeps climbing.

There were 3,769 single-family home sales in Massachusetts in September, an 8 percent increase from September 2024 when there were 3,489 transactions. Meanwhile, the median single-family home price increased 4.2 percent on a year-over-year basis to $625,000.

“The September housing market showed continued signs of shifting dynamics,” said Cassidy Norton, associate publisher and Media Relations director of The Warren Group. “A recent mortgage rate cut, increased inventory, and the approaching end of the year are all contributing to a slower, more thoughtful market. Anticipated additional rate cuts will continue the trend.”

“A significant increase in condo inventory earlier this year contributed to a surge in sales and helped keep prices down,” Norton continued. “Lower interest rates on mortgages also contributed to the increase in sales.”
