Homes sold in Marshfield - October 2013 In Marshfield, Massachusetts, sales were up in October, and prices now appear to be 2-3% higher than last year, overall. Properly priced homes are selling immediately, and there are a few bidding wars breaking out. There are quite a few pending sales in the pipeline for next month. Still, the market is only lukewarm: inventory is rising and the prices paid per square foot are steady. Buyers with pre-approvals in hand who have considered the alternatives that are currently available should be able to spot that great home when it comes on the market and still get a very good price. 22 single-family homes sold in October up from 13 last month and 12 in October 2012 a list with details about each sale appears below The AVERAGE SALES price was $399,000... 11/11/2013

Molisse Realty Group Expands in Marshfield Brian Molisse, Broker/Owner of Molisse Realty Group, LLC announces the opening of his new expanded office location in Marshfield, now at 23 Snow Rd at Webster Square.

10 Royal Dane Drive 90 Marshfield MA is a Foreclosure condominium for sale at $59,900. It was sold by Bill Tierney at Virtual Homes Real Estate for $64,100 on September 23, 2011. This was a great example of relatively inexpensive Marshfield MA real estate for sale that offered the many benefits of Marshfield Living without the price tag! Interest was strong for this home given the choice location and below market pricing. Talk about value? The property, if financed conventionally, would cost a fraction of what it would rent for in today’s market. This unit will be owner occupied, but it could rent with positive cash flow from day one. This condo leaves much to be desired as far as the condition. This was a Fannie Mae property that will need some new windows, and updates to both the kitc... 09/24/2011

Can you believe that between the two towns of Marshfield, MA and neighboring Duxbury, MA that there are currently fourteen single family properties offered for sale as a Short Sale? And yet another pair of condos to add to that number?  And ten properties in the last six months have been sold as completed as short sales? Well as much as it appears that the local real estate market has shown some signs improvement, and my Market Reports indicate the same, it also appears that there is no shortage of people who owe more than their home is worth - even locally. "Oh, that doesn't happen here."  We have all heard that before, that the bad news in the real estate market is in other communities, not in our backyard.  The facts don't lie, in the Duxbury and Marshfield area, there are over 16 h... 05/19/2011

Prices were a little softer in Marshfield this past December compared to the same period a year ago.  With that said, the more recent December did not have  the benefit of The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit and what was thought to be it's expiration at the month's end.  So last month we saw 12 single family homes sell at an average sales price of $395,563 after taking an average of 172 days on the market.  This is a less favorable comparison to December '09 that saw a brisk sales pace of 20 homes sell at an average sales price of $444,372 in roughly 107 days on the market.  So volume and prices are down year over year when comparing the same months, however the one bright spot is the median sale increased from nearly $350,000 in Dec. '09 to over $360,000 in this past December.  Perhap... 01/04/2011

The Marshfield condo market continued to chug along showing a relative firmness in pricing on slightly softer volume.  For the month of November 2010,  we saw four condos sell at an average sales price of $263,500 or $198 per square foot.  This is fair comparison to the November period of 2009 that saw six condos sell at and average sales price of $284,176 or roughly $218 per square foot.  It is worth noting that in November of 2009 home buyers were facing a rush to take advantage of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.  So a year later, without the benefit of the government stimulus prices are well within the range they were with the boost of the stimulus package.  This is truely a good sign.
