About the Salem Market

Market Overview

Boston and the neighborhoods north of Boston are consistently named a “Best Place to Live” and hold a steady track record for appreciation. These communities are all in close proximity to some of the nation’s best schools, medical institutions, and job opportunities.

Culture

Boston and the surrounding north shore communities offer a little something for everyone – a rich history, quality museums, thriving downtown areas, and some very dedicated sports fans! These neighborhoods attract high caliber tenants who value unique lifestyles and in many cases are willing to pay a premium to be in a top-notch location.

Affordability

In terms of housing, the barrier to entry is much lower for multi-families outside of the city than Boston proper. Buyers can nab a charming multi-family for a fraction of Boston pricing.

Education

Home to a variety of private colleges and state universities, Boston and the north shore has a growing student population and high demand for housing.

Commuter options

Downtown Boston is a walkable and commuter friendly area. Commuters outside of the city can hop on the “T” or a train to North Station from a variety of the surrounding communities. Salem, MA also offers a high-speed ferry.

Housing Stock

Featuring some of the oldest housing inventory in the country, the real estate is certainly distinctive. While inventory for small multi-families is limited across many states in the US, the Boston area boosts some real gems.

INVESTMENT PRICE POINTS IN the Salem Market

In this market, many of the small multi-family properties (R2-R4) come with deferred maintenance. They present unique value-add opportunities. Price points for a two-family start around $300,000, but there is a wide spectrum based on conditions and neighborhood. Positive cash flow is difficult to maintain with just a two-family, but they are an excellent entry-level investment for first-time investors/buyers looking to offset a mortgage. Cash flow is more easily attained with a three or four unit building, however most require upfront capital improvements and stabilization costs.

Entry Level: $300,000-$500,000

Mid Level: $500,000-750,000

Upper Level $750,000-1 Mill+
