WINTHROP—Listings and sales in the town were up in 2013, though prices down: "After studying the data closer, I noticed that the majority of sales under the median price of $219,000 were located at Governors Park, fixer uppers off Winthrop beach and a few short sales thrown into the mix."

BOSTON—New stats point once again to a banner year in the city's condo market: "2013 was a record year for aggregate sales revenue, due in large part to pressure on pricing. Boston achieved 20% the record number of sales (2004) but the aggregate sales revenue was 11% higher than it was in 2004." [RESIS]
