BOSTON - Home prices around Boston have hit new highs.

The Greater Boston Association of Realtors says the median-priced single family home in the region sold for $910,000 in July, breaking a record for the second time in just three months.

The sky-high prices are due in part to rising mortgage interest rates, which are deterring would-be sellers from giving up the low rate they're currently locked into and taking on a new mortgage. 

The median condo in the area is selling for $735,000.

Statewide, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors said the median sales price in July was $640,000 for single-family homes and $569,000 for condos.
