As we wrap up the first quarter of the year—typically the quietest time in real estate—we’re already seeing some compelling trends compared to this time last year. While inventory levels remain historically low, 2025 has brought a notable increase in the number of homes for sale across many local markets. In particular, Winchester and Lexington stand out. Winchester has experienced a 72% increase in active listings, with nearly half of those homes priced above $2 million. Meanwhile, Lexington has seen a 79% rise in inventory, with half of its current listings priced above $3 million. That said, this shift hasn’t been uniform across the board. As always, it’s critical to understand the hyperlocal dynamics in the communities where you live—or where you hope to move. Below, we’ve included a snapshot of inventory changes across several nearby towns. If you’d like a more in-depth look at your neighborhood or market of interest, don’t hesitate to reach out!

 

Lastly, April marks our annual recommitment to Fair Housing. As a company, we are deeply committed to making the home buying and selling process as transparent, fair, and accessible as possible. Every April, we revisit key training programs and reflect on the history of housing in the United States—reminding ourselves of our responsibility to ensure equity and opportunity for all.
