Could $700,000 ever become the norm?
-
Could $700,000 someday become the average home price in the Boston area, instead of the exception, as it is now? As it stands now, the median price of a home in Middlesex County is $435,000, the highest in the state, according to The Warren Group. But of course there are several suburbs where the median is already at or near or well beyond the $700,000 mark. — Scott Van Voorhis
Take a look at some of those suburbs. All listings are current as of Aug. 28.
