Condos doing better than homes
I'm not sure why we at the Globe focus so much on single-family homes. There were 80 percent as many condominium sales as single-family home sales in the metropolitan Boston area in the first quarter. Furthermore, I live in a condo.
And here's the good news for condo owners: So far this year, condo prices are holding up better than single-family home prices.
Statewide, Warren Group says the median price of a condo fell 3.8 percent in the first three months of the year, compared to the same period last year. My calculations from Warren Group data show similar declines for Metro Boston: 34 percent and 3.3 percent.
Here's the data for towns and neighborhoods with at least 30 sales.

Complete data on every town in the state is available here.
