Sudbury Single-Family Home Sales Up 40 Percent in November
Year-to-date sales increased by 28 percent.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following information was supplied by The Warren Group.)
Sudbury single-family home sales rose 40 percent in November, while Massachusetts single-family home sales rose 38 percent in the month, the largest year-over-year percentage increase this year and the 11th consecutive month of gains, according to the latest report by The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman.
The median price of single-family homes rose almost 2 percent to $275,000 in November, up from $270,000 a year earlier.
| Sudbury single-family home sales | 2011 | 2012 | % change |
| November sales | 15 | 21 | 40% |
| YTD sales | 180 | 232 | 28.89% |
| November median sale price | 459K | 510K | 13.33% |
| YTD median sale price | 632.5K | 602.5K | -4.74% |
November single-family home sales increased to 4,539 from 3,290 during the same month last year. This is the best November for sales since 2005, when there were 4,553 sales statewide. So far this year, 43,652 sales have been recorded, a 22 percent increase from 35,718 sales during the same period in 2011.
"We're winding down a pretty strong year of real estate in Massachusetts. It looks like sales will be the highest since 2006," said The Warren Group CEO Timothy M. Warren Jr. "We're also seeing median prices start to creep up, another positive sign of a healthy market recovery."
The median price for homes sold January through November was $288,000, down 0.35 percent from $289,000 in the prior year. Meanwhile, both single-family homes and condominiums in the Bay State had the same median price in November: $275,000.
"The popularity of condominiums as an alternative to apartment living has increased their pricing more than single-family homes. Last month we saw the unusual statistic that they have exactly the same median price," Warren added.
Condominium sales in Massachusetts also increased in November, rising 33 percent from a year earlier. A total of 1,635 condos sold last month, up from 1,232 in November 2011. Year-to-date condo sales are up 27 percent, increasing to 17,765 from 13,971 a year earlier.
| Sudbury condo sales | 2011 | 2012 | % change |
| November sales | 4 | 2 | -50% |
| YTD sales | 32 | 17 | -46.88% |
| Median November sale price | 630K | 0 | -100% |
| Median YTD sale price | 597K | 635K | 6.37% |
The median condo price in November jumped more than 7 percent. The median selling price was $275,000, up from $255,950 a year earlier. The year-to-date median price of condos in the Bay State is $276,000, up 2 percent from $270,000 a year ago.

The Baby Boomer empty nesters are leaving their large homes to downsize and simplify. Perhaps that is contributing to the condo sales median price equivalent to single family homes. The 2 and 3 bedroom ranch might soon be a commodity on the housing market instead of a target for teardowns by developers....

Might the Sudbury Patch Editor refrain from posting comments that are in direct violation of the Terms of Use regarding personal attacks? This is what an Editor is employed to do.

Kirsten Vandijk, wasn't you who personaly attacked the Editor of the Patch by trying to get him fired. Please, please, I did say please, move to Bristol R.I. and leave the nice people of Sudbury. Oh, I am still boycotting your store, My Passion Flower and would ask all other residents to do the same.

Sudbury Citizen,
Please enlighten the readers as to why you need to continue to personally attack me and why you now have begun to tell untruths. Unless you have a contribution regarding the topic of Real Estate your contributions are not contributions but abuse of this particular discussion forum.
Sudbury Citizen

Vandijk, I will enlighten Sudbury on how nasty you are. You went on another town's Patch and asked that Editor to replace Robert Fucci, Sudbury patch editor. You are a mean, horrible person. Why would you want him fired. He has a wife and new baby. You have no passion. Go to church and confess your sins.You abuse this site everytime you tell untruths.

So if anyone would like to contribute to this comment thread that reports encouraging news regarding the Massachusetts housing market I am sure there is plenty of room here. So far only one comment on topic exists, except of course this one. I for one am glad to see the Sudbury inventory is moving. I am encouraged that Sudbury is still a draw for single family home buyers and hope those seeking to downsize might consider a move to some of the smaller existing homes in town that are on the market. When condominiums become as desirable for housing as existing single families, 40B becomes more prevalent.

How about you moving to Bristol and having a nice family move to Sudbury unless your house looks like your store, we will be stuck with you for a lomg time.

What I have learned is..
1) Sudbury Citizen does not like Kirsten VD
2) Kirsten VD does not like Sudbury Citizen or Robert Fucci! ( you did in fact Kirsten say on this site many times, that you want Mr Fucci replaced. You obviously have a personal vendetta against him.)
Sudbury Citizen

Denise, thank you for exposing VD for what she is. I told you all she is nasty and doesn't belong in our wonderful town where most people ( except VD ) love and care for one another. Her passion is getting people fired and ruining their lives. We don't need her kind here.
Denise Wallwork

She has also been overheard in public- voicing her dislike of Rob Fucci-

Lets keep comments aimed toward the topic of this article. Appreciate the support, folks, but it's time to stop throwing darts back and forth at each other.

Oh, really? NOW you chime in? Great editorial work. I just want to read about the real estate news in town and only one person on this blog is giving it! LOL!!! Check out MLS today and see the inventory and house prices. Thanks to Kristen I know a little more.
KATiEE ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This internet beef between Sudbury Citizen vs. Kirsten/the rest of Patch is hilarious.

I know - it's actually very entertaining. They remind me of the two grumpy old guys up in the balcony on The Muppets. However, I'm team Sudbury Citizen. I don't like KVDS's uncalled for attacks on Mr. Fucci - especially when she went after him right after his baby was born. There's nothing lower than bringing someone's child into it.

Both have gone way over the line. There is no difference between KVD attacking Mr Fucci and SC calling for boycotts. Both have taken ownership of articles with their bantering that has nothing to do with topic under which they post.

We need t-shirts! Team Sudbury Citizen! Team Fucci!
All proceeds from the t-shirt sales can go to the SPS non override legal fee fund!
Sudbury Citizen

I'm having 25 shirts made as we speak. We will all meet in front of My Passion Flower shop on Tuesday at noon. I will ge the permit from SPD.

On the back of the shirts we will have pictures of wilted flowers.

Not many points for maturity on this comment string. As Rob has already said, get back on-topic or get off. After Kirsten's first post, which was on-topic, the rest sounds like we're overhearing a middle school food fight. All sides, take your nastiness and personal attacks elsewhere; they are not welcome on Patch.
Sudbury Citizen
2:31 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
Karla, let's make a deal. You ban me and Kirsten from your site forever. I would agree to that.
Kirsten Vandijk
4:44 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
Thank you for finally addressing the problem. I was attacked for absolutely no reason yet I find the suggestion that I have made any attacks on this comment thread offensive. Again, when I am attacked I will defend myself. If you read what I have posted, that will become clear.That so many inflamatory posts were permitted and no return emails addressing my questions to you came forward I am hardly content with the handling of the constant violations of the Terms of Use. Sudbury deserves better.
Sudbury Citizen

Ms. Kirsten VD, the problem is you. You tried to have Robert Fucci fired. You have hurt Sudbury in such a way and then you anounce your moving to Bristol R.I. Sudbury will still boycott your store My Passion Flowers until you say your sorry to all of Sudbury. You have attempted to destroy families in this town. You are a mean person. Go to church and repent your sins.

JP was almost as acrid as Sudbury for awhile, during the Whole Foods controversy. But you know, Joe: these comments just leave a bad smell coming out of Sudbury. And we certainly don't want the stink coming from Sudbury Patch. So I've just got my delete button ready.
Sudbury Citizen
3:47 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
What about my deal Karla. I'm ready to leave forever.
Kirsten Vandijk

The stink and bad smell comes from Sudbury when the Sudbury Patch Editor posts personal attacks unchecked because of bias. Plain and simple, Karla. Fucci created this mess and you as his "boss" has found need to clean it up. Not a proud moment!
Karla Vallance
4:00 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
No deal, Sudbury Citizen; I have too much faith in your and Kirsten's (and everyone's on this string) ability to swap ideas and be adults. Nice try, though. (PS: we actually do delete attacks & inappropriate comments and do, in fact, ban people who can't behave. But not on request ;)

I don't think that the Patch deletes enough attacks and inappropriate comments. Sometimes the lead article even invites them as a vehicle for all sorts of poor behavior. Sure, some local news listings are interspersed - and I still check the site for weather and craft fair notices. But I don't read The Patch for any journalistic perspective.

PsandQs - Before Patch came along, the only news source was The Sudbury Town Crier/Metro West Daily. The articles in STC are scrubbed basically by some of our elected and employed therefore not being really news at all. I am thankful for the new news media that will actually print the good bad and the ugly. Sensationalistic catching headlines is nothing new in news media - why is Patch held to a different standard?

"But not on request ;)" In other words, not when it gets to the point of readers complaining as in the Top Stories fiasco when various readers complained, asked a question directly to you, and it went unanswered. Oh, I get it now....

This, John, is what has become of a once valid source of information. I posted my initial comment as a test and let the Regional Editor know that was the case. What ensued and was approved by the Sudbury Patch Editor as well as the Regional Editor for posting is, unfortunately, what pays the salaries. You will not see the many Realtors in town commenting because they are simply not reading anymore. As for the Real Estate market, you will now start to see more homes coming on the market. We are about to enter the high season when homeowners time their moves according to the school calendars. Let's hope the Sudbury market is getting better--I want that more than anyone!
