“The shrinking home inventory continues to push median prices higher across Massachusetts,” said Cassidy Murphy, associate publisher and media relations director of The Warren Group. “Although based on historical trends, there has been a median home price reduction between July and August for 10 straight years. Prospective buyers entering the marketplace at the tail end of summer can probably expect some relief soon.”
