Our industry, our market, and our economy are all evolving—sometimes faster than the headlines can keep up. Even this week, we’re adjusting to a new environment with updated home inspection regulations taking effect as of October 15th (see below for more on this). From shifting buyer activity to broader economic changes that influence how and when people move, there’s a lot happening right now. That’s why it’s more important than ever to have trusted, local advisors by your side—people who understand our communities, the data behind the trends, and what it all means for you. Whether you’re planning a move or simply staying informed, we’re here to help you make sense of it all. Enjoy this beautiful fall season!

New Massachusetts Home Inspection Rules:

What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

 

As of October 15, 2025, new home inspection rules are now in 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.
