Home and condominium sales dipped in Melrose in February, according to a recent report by The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman. "Two factors caused this modest drop in February: low inventory and a comparison with a strong previous year of sales," said Timothy M.Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group, in the report. "Even so, I'm still hopeful for a strong spring market. As more sellers list their homes in the spring, activity will pick back up." - Mark Ouellette
