According the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, Hamilton's real estate market is sizzling with a 27.06% increase in home prices between 2012 and 2013. Other North Shore towns included on the list were Ipswich (32.47% increase), Lynn (21.73% increase), and Salem (20.05% increase).
“But there’s so much more to it than just horses,” says Devlyn Brackett, a realtor at By the Sea Sotheby’s in Beverly Farms who sells regularly in Hamilton. She cites good schools — the Hamilton-Wenham district’s 2013 MCAS composite performance index was as high as 94.2 out of 100 — youth sports and camps, a “cute downtown,” Chebacco Lake, and community events like free summer concerts in Patton Park."
With a median home price of $470,000, there are homes available from "$299,900 for a 982-square-foot three-bedroom to a cool $4.5 million for an 11,318-square-foot manse built in 1906." Brackett says there is something for everyone.
