I can provide market insight in greater MA and Cape Cod! Looking to see Stats and Facts in a different market of interest? Let me know. 

Buyers and sellers are eagerly waiting for a potential new rate environment coming in mid September following a much anticipated Fed Meeting. Until then we are seeing some shift in mortgage rates and therefore relief to buyers, especially first time home buyers. Recently they have hit their lowest point we've seen in 2024 according to Freddie Mac.

If you're a seller, it's essential to work with a Realtor^® who can accurately price your home. One of the most common mistakes in the greater Boston residential real estate market is overpricing properties. To sell your home successfully, it's important to set the right price from the start—avoiding price reductions that can deter buyers and impact your sale.

Do you have questions about residential real estate? There have been several changes to the real estate landscape including a new settlement that requires a buyer to have a contract with their agent. It's not as scary as you may think. My real estate team has been training on all of the nuances of the industry changes through-out the entire year. As always, as a Realtor^®, I am ethically obligated to work in your best interest. If you have questions, I have answers. We can simply start a dialogue.
