September always brings a sense of new beginnings- back-to-school routines, cooler evenings, and renewed energy in the real estate market. This year is no different. We’re seeing a healthy wave of new listings, giving buyers more options as the fall season gets underway. At the same time, mortgage partners are reporting an uptick in purchase applications, a clear sign that buyer demand remains strong. We’re also preparing for important changes to Massachusetts home inspection rules. These new regulations are designed to better protect buyers and will impact how offers are written and accepted. It’s an important shift that both buyers and sellers should understand, and we’ve been preparing so we can guide our clients with confidence. You’ll find key information in this newsletter to help you stay informed.
All the best this season. |

New Massachusetts Home Inspection Rules: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
Beginning October 15, 2025, new home inspection rules will take effect in Massachusetts. These regulations are designed to protect buyers’ rights to a home inspection and reduce the pressure to waive this step in a competitive market. The changes are significant- and so are the penalties for not complying. This makes it critical for buyers and sellers to work with a real estate professional who understands exactly what this means.
