Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell noted, “A yearly review of 2018 real estate activity in Norfolk County showed a total of 18,124 residential and commercial real estate sales transactions. This represented a 2% decrease from 2017. However, the volume of residential and commercial total dollar sales increased by 19% last year. The average sales, again both residential and commercial, was $841,414, an increase of 22% from the previous year.” The Register noted that there was an 8% reduction in the number of land documents recorded at the Registry in 2018 with a total of 141,159 compared to 152,927 in 2017. “A key factor Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Page Realty We have been a market leader in the area since we opened in 1963.

A total of 24,503 mortgages were recorded in 2018, representing an 11% decrease from 2017. Also, total mortgage financing closed at $17.7 billion, a 6% decrease from the previous year.” In 2018 on the consumer front, Norfolk County residents continued to avail themselves of the protections provided by the Homestead Act. A total of 12,102 Homesteads were recorded, resulting in a 4% decrease from 2017. A Homestead provides limited protection against the forced sale of an individual’s primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000. Foreclosure activity saw some improving signs. A total of 221 foreclosure deeds were filed in Norfolk County during 2018 compared to 268 in the previous year, an 18% decrease. Additionally, Notice to Foreclose Mortgage, the first step in the foreclosure process, also decreased by 10.9% during the same time period.
