Median home prices per Banker and Tradesman

Each week Banker & Tradesman does a “County Close-Up.”  This week, the newspaper’s gaze rests upon Middlesex County.  The “Top 10 Existing Home Sales” list is not of much relevance to the Middlesex North District [the homes are from Weston (6), Cambridge (2), Concord (1) and Newton (1)].  The “statistical snapshot” does give the median sales price (January thru April 2012) and the change from 2011 for all 54 cities and towns in Middlesex County.  Here are the results for the ten communities in the Northern District:

Billerica - median price $259,950 - change -6.93%
