LYNNFIELD — The 23 single-family homes that were sold in town during the first five months of the year fetched a median price of $1 million, according to the most recent report from The Warren Group, a leading provider of real estate and transaction data.

Last month, five single-families sold in Lynnfield for a median price of $1 million as well. During May 2023, nine single-families sold for a median price of $1,310,000.

Massachusetts single-family home sales surged by 7.5 percent year over year in May, marking the second consecutive month of increases,” said Cassidy Norton, Associate Publisher and Media Relations Director of The Warren Group. “Remarkably, during the same period, the median sale price climbed almost 8 percent to reach an all-time high of $636,000. Typically, increased sales would temper price growth, but the pent-up demand from homebuyers is redefining market dynamics.”

Year-to-date, there have been 14,005 single-family home sales in Massachusetts, a 2.1 percent increase from the first five months of 2023. Meanwhile, the year-to-date median single-family home price increased 9.3 percent on the same basis to $590,000.
