"Patience won't sell your house, pricing will." Everyone (secretly) loves the Zestimate and Zillow. Zillow is a guilty pleasure. You want to believe it's data points, you're not sure why you shouldn't, and you keep going back to check on it. Well, now you can see Zillow AND combine it with my real estate expertise, which is where the real intelligence and data come from. Zillow is great for a quick and curious info session. Then, contact me for a comprehensive CMA (Comparative Market Analysis of your property), even if you're just curious. A real estate professional will always be more accurate than the Zillow algorithm. Not sure why? Ask me.

I'm excited to introduce you to and empower you with new professional: search tools! listing alert tools! and, home value tools! which our brokerage is rolling out nationwide. And, I'm delivering to you. It is designed to give my clients, both sellers and buyers, real estate intelligence in their desired market. It's the most fine-tuned and accurate real estate platform to date. It combines information from Zillow and other existing national real estate brands, and combines it with access to a more accurate benchmark, me - your real estate professional, all designed to empower the consumer - you. 

We are seeing more listings in MA hit the market, but we are also seeing, on average, homes sit on the market longer than in previous months. Homes are still increasing in value, but it's muted. One more value add: Morgtage rates are ticking down slowly. These are positive early Fall signs for buyers. One more big thing in real estate coming soon - Newsflash: there are state-wide laws and regulations that will prohibit sellers from accepting any offer that waives a home inspection. This new law takes effect October 15. What does it mean for my buyers and sellers? Let's talk about it. Join me. Be moved!
