Haverhill home prices fell in April, but properties sold faster

HAVERHILL – Lyric Properties announced today that sales of single-family homes in Haverhill, Mass. increased during the month of April compared to the prior month, but prices were down.

“According to our review of data from MLS, 31 single-family properties were sold in Haverhill during the month of April, compared to 29 sales during March,” said Fred Van Magness, Broker at Lyric Properties. He said the data showed that during that same period, the average sales price of a single-family property decreased slightly, from $349,662 to $334,545, while homes were on the market for less time on average.

“Overall, the numbers show good news for both buyers and sellers,” said Meredith Landrum, a Salesperson affiliated with Lyric Properties and a resident of Haverhill. “People who were looking to buy a home during the month of April saw prices come down a little bit, making ownership slightly more affordable. But, competition in the market led to faster sales, which was good news for people looking to sell their home. It will be interesting to see how home sales perform as we edge closer to the height of the springtime real estate market.”
