The number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement in June increased for the second straight month compared to the same time in 2010, according to a recent report from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR).

The number of single-family homes put under agreement in June was up 9.28 percent to 4,758 compared to 4,354 during the same time last year. This is the first back-to- back increase since November and December 2010, according to a statement.

The number of condos put under agreement in June was up 8 percent to 1,826 units compared to 1,689 units in June 2010. This is the first back-to-back increase since March and April 2010.

"We continue to get positive feedback from folks who are committed to buying and I feel that is reflected by the two consecutive months of pending sales increases," said 2011 MAR President Laurie Cadigan, broker-owner of Barrett & Co. in Concord. "Affordability remains a strong theme in this market and hopefully more people, who can and want to, will decide to take advantage."
