The median selling price of a single-family home in Massachusetts increased to $315,000 compared with $310,000 in November 2013. Year-to-date, the median selling price climbed 2.2 percent to $330,000 compared with $323,000 during the same period last year.

“Ending the year with increases in both sales and prices for single-family homes is a good way to enter a new year of buying and selling,” said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group. “We have seen sales of single-family homes inch up two months in a row now. Perhaps the good employment statistics in recent months are having a positive impact”
