Bay State home sales dive 30 percent in July

Aug 20, 2010


The sales bounce from the home-buyer tax credit is over.

After 12 consecutive months of year-over-year increases, Bay State single-family home sales fell dramatically in July, according to the MLS Property Information Network.

Last month, 3,014 single-family homes were sold in Massachusetts, compared to 4,320 for the same month last year – a stunning 30 percent drop – as the $8,000 federal tax credit expired and historically low mortgage interest rates failed to boost sales.
