Spring 2015 market: Somerville 3-year home price comparison

Lara

Just did this for Cambridge, so here we go for Somerville…

The following data reflects 3-year price changes (2013 – 2015) for a sampling of property types — comparisons are based on YTD sales up to July 21 for the past three years — a bit behind where we are now, but saved me re-pulling all the stats from previous years if I kept in consistent, so I opted for efficiency 🙂
